Combilift Introduces Heavy Duty C17000 Lift Truck to North American Market
Cleveland, December 2003 Combilift Ltd. has introduced the C17000 long load handling lift truck to its product line in the United States, Canada and Mexico. The C17000 is a 17,000-lb. capacity, 4-directional reach truck with an LP gas engine designed to operate indoors as a general purpose, narrow aisle vehicle and outside in storage yards and loading areas.
The lift truck is intended for versatile handling of long loads of material typically found in the lumber, automotive, metalworking and construction fields:
• Concrete Forms & Building Supplies
• Fabricated Pipe, Rod or Steel Shapes
• Timber or Lumber
Indoors as a general purpose reach truck for pallet handling in automotive plants, foundries, and other heavy duty applications.
A low profile load platform ensures load stability during travel in rough yards and improves access to floor level product and bottom tiers of cantilever racks that are most often used in heavy duty applications of this type.
The narrow aisle configuration and versatile 4-way maneuverability of the C17000 permit excellent load access in aisles as narrow as 8 ft. and allow the user ultimate maneuverability in narrow aisle environments.
The C17000 is ideal for moving products between storage and processing or for moving work-in-process through the confined areas of cutting, bending, welding or finishing. Full rack-to-truck and rack-to-assembly operation eliminates double handling, reducing fleet size and the associated costs of labor and maintenance.
An operator compartment is equipped with a rubber mounted half-cab with top, front, side, and rear glass to protect the operator from the elements but also provide excellent visibility.
The C17000 features hydrostatic drive and brakes that provide precise speed control in confined spaces and high torque for semi-rough terrain, ramps and dock areas. The absence of friction brakes and corresponding lack of shoes/disc pads contributes to economies of maintenance and reduced stocking of replacement parts.
The LP gas engine can be fitted with an optional 3-way catalytic converter and an exhaust gas sensor with feedback to the fuel delivery system, permitting extended indoor use and contributing to improved fuel economy and reduced emissions.
