IFOY award nomination<br />
The Irish forklift manufacturer Combilift has come out as a finalist in one of the most prestigious international<br />
awards in the materials handling industry.<br />
C<br />
ombilift’s Combi-PPT powered pallet<br />
truck with 8,000 kg capacity is one<br />
of three products shortlisted in the<br />
Warehouse Truck category for the IFOY<br />
Award (International Intralogistics and Forklift<br />
Truck of the Year). A jury of 29 journalists<br />
and editors from leading logistics media<br />
across nineteen countries and four continents<br />
will also personally test and evaluate<br />
the nominated equipment for qualities such<br />
as technology, design, ergonomics, safety,<br />
marketability, customer benefit and sustainability.<br />
Sponsor of the IFOY contest is the<br />
VDMA Materials Handling and Intralogistics<br />
Association.<br />
Maximum safety and<br />
manoeuvrability<br />
“We are delighted to be one of the ‘chosen few’<br />
for this important award and we look forward to<br />
demonstrating the capabilities of the Combi-PPT<br />
to the judging panel.”<br />
Martin McVicar, managing director of Combilift<br />
The Combi-PPT is a high performance<br />
pedestrian operated powered pallet truck<br />
with a range of capacities up to 16,000 kg,<br />
which enables the safe and secure transportation<br />
of very heavy loads without the<br />
need for a ride-on forklift. The features –<br />
which include Combilift’s unique, patented<br />
multi-position tiller arm – and design<br />
ensure optimum visibility of the load and<br />
surroundings for the operator and guarantee<br />
maximum safety in areas where other<br />
personnel may be present, in busy production<br />
plants for example. Its manouevrability<br />
enables efficient and productive operation<br />
in confined spaces.<br />
“We are delighted to be one of the<br />
‘chosen few’ for this important award and<br />
we look forward to demonstrating the capabilities<br />
of the Combi-PPT to the judging<br />
panel,“ said Combilift managing director<br />
Martin McVicar.<br />
The mission of the International Intralogistics<br />
and Forklift Truck of the Year (IFOY)<br />
Award is to identify and recognize the year’s<br />
best intralogistics products and solutions<br />
as well as engage in activities in order to<br />
assess outstanding technical and strategic<br />
achievements in intralogistics as well as<br />
generate stimuli for innovation.<br />
