What Is a Combilift?
A Combilift is a multidirectional forklift. Its wheels turn 90 degrees, so the truck can drive forwards, backwards and sideways while carrying the load. That one design lets it work as three machines: a counterbalance forklift, a side loader and a narrow-aisle truck.
The result is simple. Long loads travel lengthways down narrow aisles instead of across them. You need less aisle space, you can fit more racking, and your operators stop doing risky multi-point turns with timber or steel sticking out both sides.
Multidirectional Forklift Rental for Long and Awkward Loads
Standard forklifts struggle once a load is longer than it is wide. A Combilift is built for exactly those loads:
- Steel pipes, beams and rebar
- Timber, plywood and MDF sheets
- Aluminium extrusions and profiles
- uPVC windows, doors and panels
- Cable drums and long crates
- Standard pallets, when the same truck must also handle pallets
Because it carries the load sideways, the truck can go straight from the yard, through a standard door and into the racking. One machine replaces the forklift-plus-side-loader combination many UAE yards still run.

- Checked for mast, chain, hydraulic and steering condition
- Serviced before handover, with the hour-meter reading disclosed

Rent or buy? Rent if you need the machine for under about 18 to 24 months, for a single project, or want maintenance included. Buy if you will use it daily for several years and have your own maintenance team. We are happy to price both so you can compare.

What is a multidirectional forklift?
A multidirectional forklift is a material handling vehicle that can move forward, backward and sideways without turning. It is ideal for long or bulky loads in narrow spaces.
What are the benefits of using a multidirectional forklift?

What types of multidirectional forklifts are available?
Multidirectional forklifts come in electric, diesel and LPG versions. Some models also offer 4-wheel steering for more flexibility and indoor or outdoor use.
What load capacities do multidirectional forklifts support?
Capacities range from about 1,450 kg for walk-behind stackers up to 25,000 kg for super heavy-duty models, depending on the model and application. Most warehouse and yard work uses 2,500 kg to 5,000 kg trucks.
Are multidirectional forklifts suitable for warehouse use?
Yes. Multidirectional forklifts are excellent for narrow aisles, warehouses that store long loads, and operations that need frequent manoeuvring without turning the truck.
How do multidirectional forklifts improve productivity?
Because they can travel sideways, operators place and retrieve long or bulky loads faster, reduce aisle congestion and handle goods more safely.
How do I maintain a multidirectional forklift?
