The Bristol Port Company
has taken delivery of two
Combilift 4-way forklifts
after winning a new contract
with a timber company,
which hugely increased
timber volumes handled.

“We needed to reduce
aisle widths to create
maximum storage space,”
says Paul Osborne,
development engineer. “The
Combilifts’ 4-way ability
enables them to work in
narrow confines and we can
now accommodate 30%
more packs.”
The trucks have XL style
driver cabs and air
conditioning for a high level
of operator comfort.

Travelling sideways with
long loads resting on the
platform also offers much
better visibility for drivers
and is much safer than
reversing a counterbalance
truck, says the Combilift.
