Combilift Unveils Self-Propelled Inloader

Combilift recently unveiled its Self-Propelled Inloader, the 'COMBi-SPI'. This highly anticipated launch marks a major advancement in the transport of heavy loads such as precast concrete, wall panels, and glass A-frames within production facilities and yard environments.

Development of the COMBi-SPI began in April 2022, driven by the need for an efficient, maneuverable, and cost-effective alternative to expensive trailers and trucks.

The goal was clear: to create a versatile solution capable of handling 30-t loads on industry-standard Inloader Pallets with superior visibility, agility, and ease of operation.

Collaboration with Spaansen, a specialist in precast concrete, played a crucial role in shaping the final design. Early prototypes focused on reducing overall length and width while enhancing maneuverability in busy production environments. However, the project took a significant turn when Spaansen opted for a fully electric model mid-development. This decision required a complete redesign to integrate electric wheel motors and fit interchangeable batteries into the machine’s legs.

The machine features a side-facing cab which provides operators with a clear view of both the load and direction of travel, ensuring enhanced safety and precision. Adjustable supports along the chassis accommodate various load lengths and heights during transport. The pivoting front dual-wheel configuration eliminates the need for suspension, optimizes stability, and enables a tighter turning radius.

The generous 300-mm ground clearance, large solid tires and the short chassis improves load support, maintains a low center of gravity, and increases maneuverability, especially in production facilities.

The Self-Propelled Inloader was displayed at bauma 2025 in April.
