A repeat order for a fleet of Combilift 4-way forklifts at Kaye Aluminium’s Doncaster extrusion facilities has confirmed the crucial contribution made by the initial consignment of trucks four years ago.

The Combilifts’ versatility enabled the company to more than halve the number of forklifts used whilst, at the same time, maintain its considerable output and increase operational efficiency.

Kaye Aluminium provide aluminium profiles for the building, electronic and automotive sectors and typical applications for its products include windows, doors, and ceiling systems.

Operations Manager Joe Jones explains the benefits of the slimmed down fleet: ‘The ability of the Combilifts to work inside and out, their sideways travel with long loads, their robust build and versatility enabled us to overcome – in one go – the issues we had with the former trucks: poor performance outside, down-time for battery charging and the need for elevated travel with long loads above machinery. The Combilifts had an immediate positive effect on operations which is why we have reordered’.

The Combilift range covers models with load capacities from 2.5 to 12 tonnes, with various power options and attachments.
