Steel Buildings Company (SBC), a manufacturer of structural steel buildings, is the first company in Jordan to take delivery of a Combilift 4-way forklift.
Since the truck has been in operation, SBC has been able to make substantial savings on time, space and money in its materials handling operations according to general manager Vatche Karmandarian.
Manouevering hot rolled sections from the delivery yard into the factory for example used to be a complicated process which involved cranes, trolleys and up to six personnel.
The 5t capacity Combilift cuts out manual handling and completes this task in a fraction of the time. Its manoeuvrability also enables it to transport materials to the machine lines during the manufacturing process.
The company is also benefiting from much better use of space both in the storage and production areas.
SBC chose a C5000L diesel powered Combilift model as the most suitable for its operations, which has a larger than standard cab, and added a fork spreader attachment to give extra stability to the longest loads.
The Combilift range is robustly designed for heavy workloads, enabling the truck to cope easily with the high volume it moves around the 32000m2 site.
SBC supplies products including pre-engineered, multi-storey and prefabricated buildings to its home and neighbouring countries.
