Long loads, such as pipes , steel structure , or aluminum extrusions , are especially unsafe for operators and people working in the vicinity. Every industry that transports heavy and long loads needs reliable machinery to enable safe operation. One such tool is the Combilift side loader forklift that offers easy long load handling for the operations.

Therefore, this material handling equipment fosters a safe environment within the working place ,whether it is assembly , processing or warehouse zone

Reasons to ensure safe handling of long loads

The handling operation must be adequate in terms of safety. It is vital to prevent:

  • Occupational injuries and/or fatalities
  • Damage to the product
  • Loss to capital equipment
  • Damaging the infra like machineries , racks and fixtures etc. at the facility

A more versatile materials handling solution than a normal counterweight forklift is extremely helpful in safely transferring and moving large loads. This is where the Combilift forklift comes into play

Reduction in forklift movements and improvement in efficiency

Owners and operators can benefit from Combilift’s multi-directional forklifts by increasing the safety and efficiency of their lifting operations.

It features a ground-breaking design that allows it to function as a side-loader, counterbalance reach truck , or small aisle forklift depending on the work at hand.

The ability of a single Combilift unit to handle long loads improves safety by eliminating superfluous forklift movements and load deliveries between units.

Versatility and absence of elevated loads

Long loads that must be maneuvered with a common counterweight forklift pose a substantial threat to operators since the load must frequently be elevated to pass obstructions in the way. It can be a perilous operation.

Because of the length and weight of the load, there is a shift of Center of gravity on both forklift and load combined , posing great risk of imbalance and the load falling off, or complete truck toppling off , causing serious damage, injuries, or fatality.

The Combilift’s capacity to function as both a counterbalance forklift and a side-loader eliminates the requirement for raised loads.

Its 4-way movement ability, coupled with an integrated low-level base that enables loads to be firmly supported while in transit, allows the safe handling of long loads around obstacles. Most importantly the Centre of Gravity with load or no load is still in the mid- part of the truck .
