Powered pallet truck nominated for IFOY Award

Posted on Friday 1 January 2010

The Combi-PPT powered pallet truck with 8,000kg capacity is one of three products shortlisted by the jury in the Warehouse Truck category of the IFOY Award (International Intralogistics and Forklift Truck of the Year) which honours the best products and solutions of the year.

The Combi-PPT is a high performance pedestrian operated powered pallet truck with a range of capacities up to 16,000kg, which enables the safe and secure transportation of very heavy loads without the need for a ride-on forklift. The features, which include Combilift’s patented multi-position tiller arm, and design ensure optimum visibility of the load and surroundings for the operator and guarantee maximum safety in areas where other personnel may be present, in busy production plants for example. Its manouevrability enables efficient and productive operation in confined spaces.

The competition will soon enter its second round when finalists undergo the thorough IFOY audit and innovation check by industry experts from various technical bodies over the course of a few days in early March in Hanover, Germany. The results will be announced on 26th April at the IFOY Award night in Vienna.
