Irish materials handling specialist Combilift has launched yet another innovation: the Combi-CLL (container log-loader). The concept and operation of the Combi-CLL is based on that of the Combi-CSS (container slip sheet), which has been successfully deployed across numerous industries for the mechanised loading of long products such as packs of timber or steel into containers.

This not only reduces the risk of accidents to the work force and product damage but is incredibly fast compared to other methods – a 40-foot container can be fully loaded by one operator in under 6 minutes.

The 30-tonne capacity, electro-hydraulically powered Combi-CLL offers the same benefits when it comes to speed, safety and product integrity. It was designed to address the requirements of exporters of softwood and hardwood logs, the nature and shape of which make them much trickier to handle than palletised or packed products.

Logs can be individually lifted and pre-loaded into a robust, high-sided metal “tub” before the patented push-pull mechanism powers the tub into the container.

Once inside, the hydraulic drop-down hatch is closed and locked into position to hold the logs securely in place, and the tub is retracted to allow the logs to settle within the container.
