Popular Specialty Lift Equipment
Below are some of the most popular specialty forklift brands available through Burns Industrial Equipment.
Combilift
The hardworking, versatile design of Combilift's multi-directional range combines the features of a counterbalanced forklift, side loader and very narrow aisle (VNA) truck in one vehicle, for a complete solution.
Combilift forklifts are ideal for operations handling long loads such as lumber, steel, pipes and building materials. Their multi-directional capability allows operators to travel forward, backward, or sideways, making them well-suited for tight aisles and confined spaces.
Mariotti
The entire range of Mariotti products is specifically designed and constructed to operate in limited spaces while still offering state-of-the-art technology, ergonomics, safety, reliability, and high productivity. The ME AC line of compact, three-wheel electric riders incorporates technology, quality, and simplicity into a cost-effective forklift. Capacities from 1,500 lbs to 2,100 lbs equipped with cushion tires, rear-wheel drive, and AC traction.
Mariotti forklifts are commonly used in applications where maneuverability is critical, such as indoor warehouses, retail distribution and light manufacturing environments.
Bendi
Designed to deliver optimal aisle performance while retaining many of the features that have made the award-winning Bendi the first choice in articulated forklift trucks, capable of storing pallets in 4' 9" aisles, offering significant space savings over counterbalance and reach trucks. Bendi can achieve storage density exceeding that of a very narrow aisle (VNA) installation.
Bendi articulated forklifts allow facilities to reduce aisle width while maintaining flexible pallet handling, making them a strong option for warehouse space optimization projects.
Drexel
The Drexel SwingMast® fork trucks are electric powered and have a 90° rotating and shifting mast that operates as a front or side loader that can stack pallets or long loads in aisles as narrow as 56". Landoll Drexel Narrow Forklifts are proven solutions for optimizing storage space.
Drexel forklifts are well-suited for operations that require precise handling of long or bulky materials in narrow aisles.
