Heavy order for forklift company

Combilift, has won a contract to supply four forklifts to one of Brazil's largest steel producers, Gerdau.

Since Combilift introduced its first 4t model when the company was established, it has developed and increased the capacity of its range.

Gerdau's trucks, fitted with John Deere engines, have lift capacities of 16t which will enable them to cope with manoeuvring long and heavy product from the production facility to outside storage areas. Due to the high temperatures both inside the manufacturing area and outside, air conditioning units have also been incorporated in the cabs.

The first of the four trucks is already in operation, while the remainder of the order is due to be delivered.
