Two Combi-WR4s on 5-Year Lease Keep Newcastle Customer Moving Long Loads

Two Combi-WR4s Keeping a New Customer Moving in Newcastle

We’re pleased to share that Permatt has supplied two Combi-WR4 4-way pedestrian reach stackers to a new customer in Newcastle on a five-year lease. The brief was clear: provide a safe, space-efficient solution for handling long and awkward loads while keeping monthly costs predictable.

This long-term lease gives the customer continuous access to modern equipment without upfront capital outlay. Each WR4 is configured with a 5,200 mm triple mast and true 4-way directional travel, allowing forward, reverse and lateral movement to position long loads confidently in tight aisles. It’s an ideal setup for sites where turning room is at a premium and product protection is critical.

As the first purpose-built 4-way pedestrian reach stacker, the Combilift Combi-WR4 combines impressive manoeuvrability with user-friendly controls, making it suitable for both experienced and newer operators. Our team handled delivery, on-site commissioning and familiarisation, ensuring the trucks were productive from day one.

Early feedback from the site points to smoother traffic flow, fewer manual re-handles and faster positioning around pinch points. With the lease in place, the customer benefits from predictable monthly costs while enjoying the performance and safety gains of multi-directional travel.

This installation underlines why the WR4 is a popular choice for long-load handling: a compact footprint, excellent operator visibility and the ability to travel laterally make day-to-day tasks safer and more efficient.
