Combilift USA

With a manufacturing facility and company HQ based in Monaghan, Ireland, Combilift exports its ever-growing range of handling solutions to over 85 countries. Established in 1998, Combilift offers the most extensive range of multidirectional and specialist customized handling solutions on offer from any one single manufacture and is now acknowledged as the global leader in the supply of innovative and award winning solutions for handling long and bulky loads, oversized products as well as palletized goods.

Combilift products are designed for safe, space saving and productive handling in diverse industries, and continual 7% of annual revenue investment in R&D keeps the company ahead of other manufacturers and ensures unparalleled product development.

Products range from pedestrian stacker trucks up to the Combi-SC Straddle Carrier and Mobile Gantry ranges which can lift loads of 200,000lbs and over. In between are dozens of models with various load capacities and power options, which work inside and out and in all weather conditions.

For space saving warehousing operations, the Aisle Master VNA articulated trucks work in aisle widths of 6ft, enabling more racking to be installed for a potential doubling of storage density. Impressive lift heights of 49ft also ensure optimum use of all vertical space. The ability to operate indoors and out removes the need for double handling, resulting in safer, faster load cycles and “truck to rack” operations.

Combilift also offers a service that represents excellent added value in the form of a free and no obligation warehouse layout and material flow analyses. CEO and Co-founder Martin McVicar: “Space is one of the most valuable assets our customers possess, and we can show them how to optimize this. Given the continued demand for warehouse space coupled with ever rising business costs, this is now more important than ever.”

DAK’s K3 premium line of warehouse safety and protection equipment includes: Row Guards | Column Guards | Pallet Stops | Large Equipment Guarding | And More

K3 In-Rack Sprinkler Guards

Fire suppression systems are mandated for safety virtually everywhere in North America and beyond.  When in-rack sprinkler systems are specified, water is released closer to the inventory and in turn minimizes inventory loss and equipment damage.  To ensure your in-rack sprinkler system remains intact and protected from daily impacts of forklift traffic and pallet damage, use DAK’s K3 heavy duty in-rack sprinkler head guards.

DAK’s U.S patent pending K3 In-rack Sprinkler Guards attach directly to the beams instead of the sprinkler system piping, avoiding sprinkler system damage.  The K3 heavy duty design protects from impacts of up to 5000lbs protecting equipment and inventory from unnecessary water damage and compromise.

We designed these U.S patent pending sprinkler guards with 25 years of warehouse safety & fire suppression experience under our belt, and we are proud to say there is no other product on the market like them!

Sentry Protection Products

Always on Guard

Behind every business is a story on how it all began. At Sentry Protection Products, we have a story too. Here’s how it all got started. An Ohio building contractor noticed that many of his customers were asking him to repair or replace columns in their facilities that were damaged from forklift hits. He thought there should be a solution other than repair or replacement. Together with the owner of a plastic molding company, a prototype of a column protector was created. That protector was Column Sentry.

Sentry Protection Products formed to market the new product. Since 1988, thousands of Column Sentry products have been sold around the world. From the original product, the line of impact resistant products has grown to include Rack Sentry® and Rack Sentry® CONTOUR rack protectors; Column Sentry FIT and Concrete Wrap™ column protectors; Corner Sentry™ building corner protector; Park Sentry® line of products for parking applications’ and the Collision Sentry® Corner Pro, a collision warning system designed to prevent accidents at blind cormer intersections.

Our impact resistant and collision warning products are sold and distributed world wide and have been recognized for their innovation and quality by many industry organizations.

Located in Lakewood, outside of Cleveland, Ohio, Sentry continually works to introduce new ideas to the marketplace. Recognized for simple design, ease of use and value to users, Sentry products are manufactured in North America and Europe and are sold world wide.
