The Combilift straddle carrier

Combilift introduces two new products
Monaghan, Ireland
Combilift has launched its largest Combilift four-way forklift, the 25 tonne capacity C25,000 model, and the Combilift Straddle Carrier for haulage, distribution and shipping operations.
The introduction of the C25,000 is in response to customers requesting bigger size and capacity forklifts since Combilift introduced the four tonne C4,000.
The forklift has a John Deere 6068 HF engine instead of a Kubota engine that is standard in the diesel Combilift range.
Combilift says its straddle carrier is economical compared to conventional container handling forklifts, reach stackers and mobile cranes. It claims that in an operation handling just six containers weekly, the return on investment in the machine is quickly achieved.

Still launches truck for inner-city transport
Hamburg, Germany
