Co Monaghan manufacturer Combilift has been awarded the prestigious Red Dot Award for Product Design 2025 for its Combi-CB70E, high-capacity, electric-powered multidirectional forklift.
The machinery was developed to meet the needs of heavy-duty, long-load handling in more sustainable ways.
The Red Dot Award, one of the most internationally renowned design competitions, recognises excellence in design quality and innovation, and is no stranger to Combilift’s exceptional vision to shaping the future of the Commercial Vehicles Industry.
This award completes a hat trick for the local business who previously won a Red Dot for the Combi-WR and ‘Best of the Best’ for the Combi-CB4.
Combilift’s Combi-CB70E impressed the international jury with its new ergonomic design, environmental credentials, and ability to enhance operator comfort and productivity in demanding industrial settings.
In a statement issued to Northern Sound, Martin McVicar, CEO and Co-founder of Combilift, said; "We are delighted to receive our third Red Dot Award this year for the Combi-CB70E. Our design and engineering teams have been striving to provide solutions that are not only functional and safe but also reflect excellence in industrial design. Our customers increasingly demand electric alternatives that don’t compromise on performance, and the CB70E is exactly that."
