30,000th truck handed over at CeMAT
27 June 2016
The 30,000th Combilift to roll off the production lines in Monaghan was officially handed over to its new owner on 1st June at the CeMAT trade fair in Hanover.

Managing director Arno Sorger accepted the Combilift C14000 model on behalf of Haslinger Stahlbau, one of the major steel construction companies in Europe.
The company processes an annual amount of around 40,000t of steel, and the new C14000 is its eighth Combilift. A variety of models from a 4t capacity Combi-CB counterbalance design truck, and 8, 12 and 14t models from the Combi-C Series are in operation across its sites in three countries to ensure safe and productive handling and storage of its in part very heavy loads.
Combilift has some way to go to catch up Haslinger Stahlbau’s longevity, but in terms of growth and success in the materials handling sector it has certainly made its mark since it was established in 1998. Impressive year on year growth has enabled what started as a small company offering a niche product to now be a major global name.
From its global HQ, manufacturing facility and R&D department in Monaghan, Ireland, the 450 strong workforce designs, develops and manufactures a wide range of products which are exported to 75 countries.
Combilift MD martin McVicar commented: “The amount of customisation featured in every model we produce makes the total of 30,000 units manufactured to date a very impressive achievement and I’d like to acknowledge the dedication and hard work of the Combilift team in Monaghan. But of course thanks must also go to customers such as Haslinger Stahlbau who put their faith in our products time and again and thus enable us to continue to be the market leader in our manufacturing segment.”
