Combilift’s ST range was
developed in response to
requests from service centres
for a leaner, stand-on version
of its 4-way forklifts.

Admiral Metals, a
distributor of aluminum,
brass, bronze, copper and
stainless in the northeast of
the USA has six electric
powered C3,000ESTs, which
have improved safety, cut
costs and boosted productivity
and revenue for the company
that’s based in Massachusetts.

The indoor/outdoor standon
forklift works in aisles of
less than 2m wide, resulting
in space savings of up to
50%. It can hold 3t of long
length loads and its multidirectional
ability achieves
good manoeuvrability and
enables the loads to be
carried in tighter confines.

Don Bishop, operations
manager, says: “With our old
machines operators had to
undo the belt, open the door,
get out of the truck, get back
in the truck, close the door,
put the belt back on, etc. With
this machine, they just step
on and off.”
