Optimise your space with Combilift design solutions

So it's probably best to call in the experts – and who better than Combilift to help you to optimise your available space? 

Combilift has around 25 years of experience in helping companies of all sizes maximise the capacity, safety and efficiency of their warehouse and storage facilities. A team of 10 design engineers work on the very popular, free of charge warehouse design & layout service, and provide diagrams showing how a warehouse can be configured according to the capabilities of Combilift’s products, which can lead to a doubling of available space. 

CEO and co-founder Martin McVicar: “We have always seen Combilift as much more than a 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 need 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 bureaucracy associated with moving or with new builds or extensions and not having to pay extra for offsite storage.”  

One company that let Combilift do the hard work for them was Farrell Furniture. Farrell’s Joint CEO Brendan Farrell: “Combilift took a wholly different approach from other companies that want to sell you something, I’d call it more solution based. We gave them warehouse plans, and the sizes of the materials we use in production. They came back with detailed plans that showed us how using one of their trucks could make a massive difference to the management of our space. So, before we had even decided to go with their products, they had proved to us that we could generate over 30% more storage capacity – which was a pretty persuasive argument as to how to get customers on side!”  

“Our premises are around 100,000 sq ft, with just 15,000 sq ft  given over to storage. The warehouse is the same size as it was when we got our first Combilift – 150ft x 60ft - but over the last few years we have quadrupled in growth. This is testimony to how Combilift’s original layouts future-proofed us. 

“For any company experiencing growth or increased volumes of stock, I’d recommend talking to Combilift first - getting help from the experts to improve the performance of our warehouse was an absolute eye opener,” said Brendan. Stand D12
