Combi pedestrian stacker picks up an award

COMBILIFT HAS WON THE WAREHOUSE LOWLIFTER honours at Europe’s International Intralogistics and Forklift Truck of the Year Awards.

It scooped the honours at the IFOY Awards 2020 with its Combi-CS – which it says is the only pedestrian counterbalance stacker that will operate in a conventional reach truck aisle. It thus delivers space saving and productive storage and handling.

It features Combilift’s internationally patented and award winning multiposition tiller arm, which can be turned to the left or right to position the rear drive wheel – allowing the operator to remain in the safest position, at the side of the machine…rather than at the rear as is the case with other pedestrian stackers.

Says Combilift: “This ensures optimum visibility of the load and surroundings as well as guaranteeing maximum safety in areas where other personnel or members of the public may be present.”

COVID-19 emergency measures in Europe saw a virtual IFOY Awards ceremony.

Finalists’ products underwent stringent IFOY audit and innovation checks by industry experts, and logistics media journalists from 19 countries also tested and evaluated the equipment for qualities such as technology, design, ergonomics, safety, marketability, customer benefit and sustainability.

The jury said that the Combi-CS “is a really compact, smart, pedestrianoperated truck and a nice hands-on solution. It offers significant added value in terms of narrow aisle operation and safety in confined environments.

“It is a customer-focused solution with a very high level of market relevance.”
