Local distributor Adapt-A-Lift has just delivered a second Combilift forklift to a leading wholesale supplier of timber.
Just Wood Australia based in South Dandenong, Victoria ordered the second forklift, a C3000, after experiencing a major increase in productivity with its first Combilift, the C5000SL.
The company ordered the first Combilift after consultation with AAL to find a flexible and versatile machine for loading and unloading long lengths of timber in the re-saw mill, as well as providing improved accessibility in the factory.
The introduction of a Combilift, which incorporates sideloader, counterbalance and narrow-aisle forklift features in one machine, has resulted in less downtime and faster loading and unloading.
"Combilift is a very flexible machine and we find its weight capacity and its agility in getting between packs an essential requirement for our daily working programme," says Just Wood managing director Trevor Blake.
He tells Forkliftaction.com News that the new machine now means that there are absolutely no hold-ups in production.
"We can still be putting orders together, whilst loading trucks or the skids for the next load to be cut. The new machine is very nimble and slips between even narrower aisles," he says.  The C5000 is ideal for loading and unloading long lengths of timber. |
