Award kudos for pioneering electric forklift

Combilift’s seven tonne capacity electric multidirectional counterbalance forklift was recognised at the 2025 Red Dot Awards for its ergonomic design, advanced performance and eco-conscious engineering.

“We are delighted to receive our third Red Dot Award this year for the Combi-CB70E,” said Martin McVicar, CEO and co-founder of Combilift.

“Our customers increasingly demand electric alternatives that don’t compromise on performance and the CB70E is exactly that.”

Greener handling

With increasing demand for zero-emission yard equipment, Combilift’s innovative forklift aligns with increased demand in port electrification and sustainable warehousing logistics.

Built for handling long and heavy loads in tight or rough-terrain spaces, the Combi-CB70E includes Combilift’s patented Independent Traction Control System, all-terrain rubber tyres and zero-emissions capability.

The electric forklift win marks another milestone in a successful year for Combilift, which has also secured Product of the Year and Ergonomics Award titles at the UKMHA Archies.

The Red Dot Award, one of the most internationally renowned design competitions, recognises excellence in design quality and innovation.

This year’s award completes a hat trick for Combilift which previously won a Red Dot for the Combi-WR and ‘Best of the Best’ for the Combi-CB4.
