Make good use of your space!

Given the escalating cost of land, it is essential for companies to maximize their existing warehouse space when considering expanding their business. Maximising the use of the current warehouse space is especially important for cold storage. In addition to the extremely high costs of constructing a new facility, refrigerating a larger area results in further energy expenses. 

Irish-based forklift manufacturer Combilift has over 25 years of expertise in helping businesses maximise warehouse capacity while improving the safety and efficiency of their material handling operations.

CEO and Co-founder Martin McVicar: 

“We have always seen Combilift as much more than a designer and manufacturer of forklifts and other handling solutions. Space is one of the most valuable assets our customers possess, and if our trucks can make it work better for them in terms of storage density then everyone benefits. The ongoing demand for warehouse space coupled with ever-rising business costs means that space optimisation is now more important than ever. Additional benefits, of course, also include avoiding the operational headache for management and the workforce of relocating to new premises, the lack of bureaucracy associated with new builds or extensions, and the expense of leasing extra offsite storage.”  

The company has a team of highly experienced design engineers who can provide businesses with a free-of-charge warehouse design and layout service. This service demonstrates how warehouse space can be optimised based on the capabilities of Combilift’s products. In some cases, it can increase storage capacity by up to 50% by narrowing the aisles and utilising vertical airspace. 

Combilift’s wide range of custom-made forklifts and pedestrian trucks offer the perfect combination of capabilities and technology necessary to meet the demands of fast-paced temperature-controlled storage facilities. Designed for handling pallets of food in aisles as narrow as 1.6m and with lift heights of up to 15m, they allow you to increase your storage, efficiency and safety.   

The versatile Aisle Master can operate both indoors and outdoors and its “truck to rack” capability enhances offloading, handling, and storage of your goods while vastly increasing productivity. The cold store model is specifically designed to keep drivers warm in cold climates, reducing the need for breaks and increasing productivity. It features a fully enclosed, high-visibility cabin with double-glazed heated windows that eliminate condensation build-up when driving between different temperatures and in and out of the cold room.   

Combilift’s range of pedestrian stackers is equipped with the patented and award-winning multi-position tiller arm, ensuring maximum safety for the operator and pedestrians in the vicinity. The tiller arm ensures that the operator remains at the side of the unit, which is the safest position when working in narrow aisles, rather than remaining at the rear. This reduces the risk of the operator being trapped between the forklift and the rack and ensures full visibility of the load and the surrounding area, which is of utmost importance.
