Saves space

A specialist in the manufacture, repair and maintenance of drilling products used in the oil and gas sectors is benefiting from the versatile capabilities of an 8 tonne Combilift 4-way forklift which is ensuring safe and space-saving handling of long loads around its site.

Many of the products handled by Schoeller Bleckmann Darron, such as down hole drilling tools are exceptionally long and heavy, and therefore awkward to handle with conventional forklifts such as counterbalance trucks or sideloaders.

By changing to a Combilift, SBDL has been able to exploit the truck's manoeuvrability and 4-way capabilities to make the most of restricted yard space while ensuring efficient handling of its 10m long loads.
