New poultry forklift
May 1st 2011 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. More articles from Combilift Limited: |
