✔ Low Clearance Access – Maneuvers under warehouse doorways and low ceilings without issue;
✔ High Throughput – Processes 12–15 containers per hour with minimal downtime;
✔ Zero Brake Maintenance – Simplified design reduces maintenance costs and delays;
✔ 360° Visibility – Full operator visibility even while lifting containers;
✔ Low Ground Pressure – Operates safely on a variety of surfaces;
✔ Indoor/Outdoor Ready – Moves smoothly in and out of warehouses and tight loading areas.

Designed for versatility and built to perform, the COMBI-SC delivers unmatched productivity in high-volume terminal environments.

Effortless Double Stacking with Top-Lift Spreader

Container handling efficiency with Combilift’s automatic top-lift spreader bar — a game-changer for high-volume operations. Fully controllable from within the cab, this system eliminates manual adjustments and keeps operators safe from the elements.

Designed to grip containers securely via four twist locks, the top-lift spreader enables fast, precise, and safe stacking, including double stacking, for throughput speeds of up to 20 containers per hour.

Whether for space optimization or boosting container turnaround, this feature delivers speed, safety, and operator comfort in one smart solution.

Smart Access - Telescopic Function for Low Clearance Areas

For operations in tight indoor spaces, the COMBI-SC’s telescopic function provides a critical edge. This feature allows the machine to retract its height, enabling safe transport and placement of containers under low ceilings and through small doorways.

With the ability to pass under doorways as low as 4 meters, the telescopic COMBI-SC expands terminal’s capabilities—bringing container handling directly into warehouses, workshops, or covered storage areas.

Precision meets flexibility, allowing to handle containers where traditional equipment simply can’t operate.

Safe and Efficient Bulk Offloading with Container Tilting

The COMBI-SC’s container tilting capability brings a new level of safety and efficiency to bulk cargo handling. Designed to tilt containers up to 75°, this function enables the controlled discharge of bulk materials such as foodstuffs, scrap, minerals, plastic granules, chemicals, and aggregates.

For maximum versatility, the same machine can also invert containers, allowing for quick and safe loading of bulk cargo.

Whether emptying or filling, the COMBI-SC ensures minimal risk, reduced manual handling, and maximum productivity in bulk operations.

No Loading Dock? No Problem.

The COMBI-SC eliminates the need for traditional loading docks by effortlessly positioning containers flush with warehouse or bay doors. This unique capability streamlines loading and offloading, dramatically reducing turnaround times and boosting operational flexibility—especially in facilities without fixed docks or ramps.

With the COMBI-SC, the terminal adapts to a workflow—not the other way around.

Versatile Load Capacity

Easily lifts and transports 20', 30', 40', and 45' containers, including reefers, flat racks, and even non-containerized cargo—offering flexibility across multiple cargo types and industries.

Cost-Effective Operation

With low fuel consumption, minimal maintenance, and multi-functional capabilities, the COMBI-SC delivers one of the lowest total cost-of-ownership rates in container handling.

Ultra-Maneuverable Design

The COMBI-SC’s three-wheel chassis offers unmatched maneuverability in tight spaces, reducing the need for large turning areas and costly infrastructure changes.
