New poultry forklift

Combilift has launched a new model - the Combi-RT, which has been specifically designed for the needs of the poultry sector. Combilift worked on feedback from Keyo Agricultural Services, one of the UK's largest providers to the poultry processing sector, to develop this new vehicle which both companies believe represents a significant step forward in the handling of live poultry.

Combilift MD Martin McVicar explains: "Most forklifts previously used have been modified versions of mainstream models.Having taken the exact requirements of catching, handling and transportation into account we have developed this purpose built, no-compromise machine." Fitted with a clear view 3 stage mast with full free lift, the RT's low profile allows it to work both outside and inside the poultry house. The large diameter tractor grip tyres, all wheel traction with differential lock and 300mm ground clearance enable the machine to operate smoothly in all manner of litter conditions.
