The recently launched Combi-CB70E earns global recognition for its ergonomic design, performance, and sustainability at the prestigious Red Dot Design Awards 2025 Essen, Germany ? July 2025 ? Irish-based manufacturer Combilift, a global leader in multi-directional and customised handling solutions, has been awarded the prestigious Red Dot Award for Product Design 2025 for its Combi-CB70E, high-capacity, electric-powered multidirectional forklift, 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 Combilift 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.
Martin McVicar, CEO and Co-founder of Combilift, commented:
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.
The multidirectional Combi-CB70E is a 7-tonne capacity electric counterbalance forklift, specifically designed for handling long and bulky loads in confined or challenging spaces. Equipped with Combilift?s patented Independent Traction Control System and large elastic rubber tyres, it provides all-terrain capability while maintaining zero-emission operation. The spacious gas strut suspension cab and floor to ceiling glazing offers enhanced visibility and comfort, while the Auto Swivel Seat- which automatically swivels 15 degrees to the left or right, depending on the direction of travel- ensures optimal ergonomics and comfort for operators, even during extended shifts.
This Red Dot recognition comes in an exceptional 11 months of success for Combilift, which has also received multiple international accolades for its products and leadership, including Product of the Year and Ergonomics Award at the UKMHA Archies Awards, as well as Design Team of the Year and Industry Leader awards from the UK?s Engineering & Manufacturing Awards.
With over 1,000 employees and exports to more than 85 countries, Combilift continues to set benchmarks in safety, design, and innovation in the materials handling sector.
