MGM Timber (Scotland) has
taken delivery of six
Combilift 4-way forklifts for
use in locations across the
country to improve the
handling and storage of its
wide range of forest
products. These include
structural and aesthetic
timbers, sheet materials,
joinery, decking and flooring
products as well as insulation
and plasterboard products.

MGM had previously used
sideloaders and counterbalance
forklifts to cope with
the varying load sizes, ranging
from palletised goods to 6m
long packs of timber. The
trucks’ ability to work as a
sideloader as well as a
conventional truck plus the 4-
way capability eliminates the
need for multiple machines.

Operations are speeded up as
drivers no longer need to
switch from one truck to
another, and the number of
forklift movements is
reduced for enhanced health
and safety procedures.
