Show of strength at the Combilift outdoor stand
May 21st 2008 There will be plenty to look at on Combilift’s outside stand at this year’s CeMat (FG F04). Along with the usual wide variety of the company’s 4-way forklifts, there will be a new product launch, the ever popular Guinness tent and two rather imposing visitors who also happen to be amongst the strongest men in the world. Glenn Ross of Ireland and Heinz Ollesch of Germany will be competing with each other on the Tuesday and Wednesday of the show in an Irish-German challenge of strength, guaranteed to draw the crowds.
Glenn has won the UK’s strongest man title seven times, Bavarian Heinz is the 12 times holder of the German strongest man title, and the combined weight of the two is 350kg. Both men have featured regularly on national and international TV and at events around the world, achieving records in disciplines such as Bavarian stone lift, jumbo jet pulls and loglifting. The events at CeMat will be centred around an HGV trailer, and will involve a truck pull and arm-over-arm lifting – if you are unfamiliar with the terminology you will just have to wait until you are at the Combilift stand to see exactly what this means!
Combilift is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year, and will be showing fifteen exhibits in all at CeMat across two stands, one in Hall 25, Stand M03, the other in the outside area.
