Operating in tight aisles
Combilift’s new walk behind Combi-Counterbalanced Stacker (Combi-CS), premiered at IMHX, is said to be able to work in the smallest operating aisles for a machine of its type and lift capacity.
The Combi-CS was developed to offer optimum narrow aisle performance and enhanced safety for operators and other personnel in the vicinity.
The patented multi-position tiller arm is a key feature on the machine for optimum narrow aisle performance. It tiller can be turned to the left or right of the unit to position the rear drive wheel, allowing the operator to remain at the side of the machine rather than at the rear as is the case with other pedestrian stackers.
This position eliminates the risk of operators being trapped or crushed between the back of the machine and racking when handling products. It also allows for full visibility of the load, the forks and surrounding as the operator does not need to look through the mast and therefore enables higher awareness of other pedestrians in the vicinity.
The operator’s working position alongside the unit also enables aisle widths to be narrowed down. With the length from the back of the unit to the face of the forks of just 1050mm, the Combi-CS, with a load capacity of 1000kg @ 500mm offers space saving operation and can also block stack standard pallets for maximum use of storage capacity.
Low effort AC power steering and a display monitor on the tiller arm are further advantages. The standard 2.5m mast comes with mast tilt as standard and is also available in a range of options. The powerful high capacity 375Ah battery guarantees constant availability even throughout long shifts and its roll out design enables quick and easy changing.
