At Combilift Depot, our entire focus is on one thing—getting materials moved smarter, safer, and more efficiently. We specialize in multi-directional forklifts, and over the years, we’ve worked with clients across nearly every sector—from steel yards and lumber mills to DIY supply warehouses and manufacturing operations.
What Makes Multi-Directional Forklifts Different?
Standard forklifts move in straight lines—forward and back. That’s fine if you’ve got wide aisles and plenty of space. But our multi-directional forklifts aren’t bound by that limitation. They can move forward, backward, and sideways, all while handling oversized loads like long steel beams or lumber packs.
This isn’t just about maneuverability. It’s about reducing the need for wide aisles, which means more storage space, fewer load damages, and tighter inventory control. If you’ve ever felt like you’re trying to fit a square peg in a round hole with your current lift setup, this is the fix.
Forklift Models and Custom Options
Every operation we serve has its own priorities—some need electric for indoor air quality, others need diesel for raw power outdoors. That’s why our new and used equipment lineup spans electric, LPG, and diesel-powered models, all customizable with fork extensions, camera systems, height sensors, and cab enclosures.
We match each machine to your space, product type, and usage rate. You don’t get a one-size-fits-all forklift here.
Multi-Directional in Real-World Applications
Warehousing and Logistics
At our warehousing and logistics clients’ sites, we’ve been able to cut down aisle widths by over 40% just by switching to multi-directional units. That means they’ve gained thousands of extra square feet of usable storage without having to expand their facilities.
Lumber and Building Supplies
We’re trusted by lumber yards and building supply companies because our forklifts can safely carry long boards or trusses without risk of side-swipe damage. Operators can load and unload from the side of trailers, reducing the need to double-handle product.
Steel and Aluminum
If you’re moving pipes, sheet metal, or extrusions, the steel and aluminum sector is a perfect fit for what we do. We’ve even outfitted units with reinforced forks and carriage systems to handle heavier loads in tight industrial corridors.
Rentals That Keep You Moving
We understand that some jobs don’t need a permanent investment. That’s why we offer forklift rentals for short- or long-term projects. Our fleet includes standard and multi-directional lifts, delivered and ready to work.
Clients typically use our rental program during facility renovations, seasonal inventory pushes, or when testing new layouts.
Support That Goes Beyond Delivery
We don’t just sell or rent equipment. We stick with you.
Our service team responds quickly to breakdowns, handles preventive maintenance on schedule, and provides training so your operators feel confident and capable.
Need a replacement part? We carry a full stock of Combilift parts in-house—filters, tires, sensors, cylinders, hoses, even operator seat assemblies.
