Snow’s no problem for Combilift

3 April 2019


Combilift forklifts have shown their mettle by dealing with harsh weather conditions at Pretre, one of Norway’s leading manufacturers of roof elements, trusses and pre-cut timber.

Pretre’s Stryn, Lillehammer, Trondheim and Kristiansand sites are under snow for six months of the year, which makes conditions very challenging for handling equipment.

The company recently ordered its 12th Combilift multidirectional forklift in as many years, having switched from two-directional trucks because of their tendency to slip on the snow and ice.

Petre’s Combilift fleet includes Combi-SL sideloaders for use around the yard and the slightly smaller C4000 C-Series models that are predominantly used indoors.
