Combilift continues to push the boundaries of innovation in material handling with the launch of the Combi Load Xtender, a new pantograph-style load extender that allows full truck or container loading from one side only — increasing efficiency, improving safety, and optimising space usage.
Unveiled at Ligna 2025, the Combi Load Xtender has been designed as a versatile and powerful solution for businesses operating in restricted loading areas, or where double-side access to trailers or rail wagons is not possible or where space is limited.
Key Benefits:
One-Side Access Loading: Fully loads and unloads from a single side, streamlining operations and reducing vehicle movement and fuel consumption in congested yards.
Ultra low mechanism height: Its ultra-compact design ensures smooth movement and full functionality below standard trailer height without interference.
Enhanced Safety: Operators can load securely against the far closed side of the trailer, reducing the risk of products falling and keeping personnel out of busy traffic zones.
Unobstructed Visibility: The open-frame pantograph structure gives clear visibility over and through the extender for precise handling and safer operation.
Heavy-Duty Build: Rugged construction ensures consistent performance in demanding environments — with patent applications filed in Europe and the USA.
With the launch of the Combi Load Xtender, Combilift addresses a major industry challenge: making one-side loading safer, faster, and more accessible across a broad range of logistics operations.

Combilift has also expanded its popular FSE range with the launch of the Combi-FSE 8000 – an 8-tonne capacity, four-wheel electric sideloader designed to meet the increasing demand for high-capacity, emission-free handling of long and bulky loads.
Also making its debut at Ligna in Hannover, the Combi-FSE 8000 delivers all the proven advantages of the smaller FSE models – such as class-leading operator visibility, low maintenance, and patented traction control – now scaled up for more intensive, heavy-duty environments. This next-generation sideloader offers zero-emission performance without compromising on power, safety, or durability, making it the ideal solution for industries handling timber, steel, and other long loads in confined or indoor spaces.
