designed or modified to suit these conditions can enter such areas.
The safe maximum load capacities of the truck with relation to the load centre and fork
height, which MUST NOT BE EXCEEDED, are stated on the capacity plate.
The truck must be operated strictly in accordance with the operating instructions
provided in this manual in conjunction with the safety regulations of the country in
which the forklift truck is being operated.
2.3 Vehicle Description
The Combilift is a multifunctional, multidirectional forklift with four directions of travel
– Forward, Reverse, Left & Right. In order for these travel directions to be possible
the Combilift has two modes of travel, standard travel mode and sideward travel
mode.
Standard Travel Mode – In standard travel
mode the wheels are aligned parallel to the sides
of the truck and the rear swivel arm is used to
steer the truck. In this mode the truck can drive
forward and reverse. Forward Travel is traveling
with the forks leading. Reverse Travel is
traveling with the forks trailing.
Sideward Travel Mode – In sideward travel
mode the wheels are aligned perpendicular to
the sides of the truck and the front swivel arms
are used to steer the truck. In this mode the truck
can drive left and right. Left Travel refers to
travel with the cabin leading. Right Travel refers
to travel with cabin trailing.
The mast can be reached out and retracted in so that a palletised or long load can
be lifted and moved back within the wheelbase of the truck. This makes the Combilift
truck more stable when travelling with a load and also allows it to work in confined
areas such as narrow aisles.
Having the ability to drive forward, back, left and right and the ability to reach and
retract the mast means the Combilift C-series truck is capable of performing the
functions of a standard counterbalance forklift truck, a reach truck and a side loading
truck. Therefore it is ideal for handling palletised loads and also long loads such as
pipes or timber.
The principle of this type of truck is that the weight of the load, which is lifted on the
forks in front of the load wheels, is offset by the combined weight of the truck chassis
and components.
