Combilift has received the Red Dot Award for Product Design 2025 for its Combi-CB70E, electric multi-directional counterbalance forklift.

It is the third Red Dot Award for Combilift, having previously been named Best of the Best in 2020 for its Combi-CB4, a compact, counterbalance, electric, multi-directional forklift, and in 2014 for its Combi-WR4, multi-directional pedestrian-operated reachstacker.

Irish-headquartered Combilift says the 2025 win reflects how “impressed" the international jury was with its “ergonomic design, environmental credentials, and ability to enhance operator comfort and productivity in demanding industrial settings”.

Martin McVicar, Combilift’s CEO and co-founder, adds: “Our design and engineering teams have been striving to provide solutions that are not only functional and safe but also reflect excellence in industrial design”.

The CB70E has a 7T capacity and has been designed to handle long and bulky loads in confined spaces.
