O’Brien Fine Foods is a family run business and a primary supplier of high quality meat products to our Irish market. Following the construction of a new extension on its premises, the company replaced its previous fleet of forklifts with a Combi-CB and three Combi-WR models from Combilift to ensure the highest standards of health and safety.
Due to operational requirements it was fitted with a range of customised features it was fitted with a range of customised features including an 8m mast to provide an adequate lift height to reach the loading bays. A Mast mounted camera and wipers on the cab roof offer good driver visibility when the mast is fully extended, whatever the weather. Telescopic forks enable the pallets to be accessed through an up and over gate and the additional feature of a fork positioner allows the driver to easily adjust the fork width depending on the load and pallet position.
The Multidirectional ability and tight turning circle of the Combi-CB is also invaluable for working alongside one of the bays which is in a very confined space. It also copes easily with the gradients and slops across the premises.
Ms Gormley added: “The configuration of our factory across various levels is not the most straightforward for materials handling equipment, and the requirement to lift loads weighing up to 1800kgs to 7.7m was a challenge. However, the models recommended by Combilift and our consultants The Henley Forklift Group, together with the customised features, have more than lived up to our expectations. Combilift’s engineers provided layouts for the new premises and made sure everything worked smoothly. The Combi-CB4 is great for accessing tight spots and the low operating speeds of the Combi-WRs have ensured maximum safety”
