Hello to everybody.
Our company is going to buy or forklifter or telehandler, but we haven't agree which one will be most usefull for us. Our technique is used in timber stocking, sorting, loading, lorry loading and e.t.c. terrain is rough and we do have problems on winter time cause is here is too much of snow ;) for this moment we have three forklifts clark, komatsu and mb, Everything is O.K. Untill winter comes.
The main idea would be that with telehandler i'd be able reach some cargos that i can't do with the forklift, on the other hand there attachments to handlers as snow showels and e.t.c.
Weight of the cargos is aprox 4 tons, height where i'm stacking it not more than five meters. So i need 4x4, 4 tons lifting and not very long telesc. The budget is small, about 40.000 euros. I think it will be used. :P
So fellas maybe you could advise something to me. Thanks.

The combi-lift is a great unit and should not be over looked very successful in the harsh Australian climate
Suggest you contact Hubtex, Germany they make a fantastic and quality alternative the irish unit.
Hi there- Was about to recommend the use of a Combilift for your environement- especially if you are lifting long loads.
One of the main issues with a conventional forklift or telehandler is that the point of contact on a long load is invariably only 1 meter in the middle - think of a seesaw and you can immagine the effect of central support is on a load of over 6meters! - makes for a very slow carefull operation unless you have a stabiliser attachment or frame.
These stabilisers obviously weigh a considerable amount to support the load and this weight needs to be deducted from the truck capacity to give a rated load.
The combilift- sideloader has good all terraine operation and the method of reaching the load onto a stable platform provides significant support and inherent safety.
There are other makes available that have copied the concept of the Combilift - being a dedicated sideloader, with reach truck capability. This is not to be confused with a conventional sideloader and is very menouverable.
I'm sure there is a local dealer who would be pleased to demonstrate the ability - or look on their web site, I believe they have some demo video material online
Hey there, you really should be looking closely at a Combi-Lift, the all wheel drive feature is really handy in our Canadian winters. The multi-Directional aspect is extremely useful when dealing with longer loads like timber. They even make a higher clearance truck to help with rougher terrain. These trucks are made in Ireland and have dealer all over europe, check out www.combilift.com
