A busy CeMAT and a special milestone

Our large stand at the heart of the open air area at CeMAT was packed full of exhibits, proving once again that we offer the widest range of specialist handling solutions on the market.

From the small Combi-WR and the multidirectional Combi-WR4 pedestrian reach stackers to the unmissable Combi-SC Straddle Carrier, visitors could see around 20 various models for handling long or awkward loads, pallets, containers or similarly oversized loads.

Live demos of the trucks’ capabilities, regular performances of the Combi-CB dance and of course our hospitality area ensured a steady stream of visitors throughout the four days of the show – in spite of some wet and stormy weather conditions. We celebrated a very special milestone when MD Martin McVicar officially handed over the 30,000th Combilift to its new owner at an event attended by press representatives from around the world. Managing Director Mr. Arno Sorger accepted the Combilift C14000 on behalf of Haslinger Stahlbau, one of the major Steel construction companies in Europe.

The company processes around 40,000 tons of steel a year to realise its projects – with this figure continuing to rise - and the C14000 is its eighth Combilift which will work alongside a variety of Combilift models at the company’s sites in Europe to ensure safe and productive handling and storage of its heavy and long loads.

Martin McVicar commented: “The amount of customisation featured in every model we produce makes the total of 30,000 units manufactured to date a very impressive achievement and I’d like to acknowledge the dedication and hard work of the Combilift team in Monaghan. But of course thanks must also go to customers such as Haslinger Stahlbau who put their faith in our products time and again and thus enable us to continue to be the market leader in our manufacturing segment.”
