Designed specifically for the transport of high loads including pre-cast concrete, wall panels or glass A-frames, Combilift unveiled the COMBi-SPI in Munich at the Bauma trade show for the construction, building and mining machinery sectors.

With a capacity up to 30T, the machine has been built to create a “versatile solution capable of handling 30-tonne loads on industry standard Inloader Pallets with superior visibility, agility, and ease of operation”.

The project was realised with the collaboration of pre-cast concrete specialists Spaansen.

“Early prototypes focused on reducing overall length and width and enhancing manoeuvrability for working in busy production facilities,” Combilift states. “However, the project took a significant turn when Spaansen opted for a fully electric model mid-development. 

“This shift required a complete redesign to integrate the electric wheel motors as well as fit the interchangeable batteries into the legs of the machine.” 

Features include a side-facing cab, sliding load supports, and adjustable supports along the chassis to accommodate various load lengths and heights during travel.
