A TRIP TO COMBILIFT
First we went on a bus to Combilift. When we arrived we met Catherine then we went to a cinema room and watched a video all about Combilift. Then Frank came and gave us ear plugs because it was noisy. Then we went on a tour around the factory we saw forklifts one of them was an aisle master. Finally we went back to the cinema room and we were given calendars, pens and brochures. Then we went on the bus back to school.

A visit to Combi lift.
We hopped on the bus on Tuesday morning. We are on our way to Combi lift. 5th and 6th Class and Mr Buckley and Mss Brennan went with us on the trip.it was a short journey to Combi lift.
When we arrived at Combi lift we hopped off the bus and looked around. Next we went inside we were given hi Vis and goggles. After that we went into the cinema room and watched a promotional video. After the promotional video we were given earplugs and were told we were going to be split up into two groups and that we were going to go into the factory and were told to put on our hi vis earplugs and goggles.
I was in Catharine’s group along with Mathew Faela Cathal Rachel Shane and Connor. We went around all the forklifts and I learned that most the red forklifts go to France. We were allowed to see all of the factory and all the forklifts and all the parts.
After the tour we went back to the cinema room and then Martin mc Kenna asked us some question and answers. Noah and Connor won a toy forklift each. Now am writing to you about the trip to Combi lift.

A visit to Combilift
First, we jumped on the bus to get there I sat beside Colin on the bus. Fifth and sixth class went with Ms Brennan and Mr Buckley on the 5th of February 2019. Martin Mc Vicar and Robert Moffet founded Combilift in 1998. Combilift makes forklift for people and companies.
Then, when we walked in there was loads of flags around the top of the stairs. We met the tour guide her name was Catherine and she took us up to the cinema room and she showed us a promotional video about Combilift. She gave us all earplugs and goggles.
Next, Frank and Shauna walked in and we got split into groups. I was in a group with Colin Cillian Adam Shauna Matthew and Claudia. We had to wear earplugs to block out harmful noises. And we had to wear goggles. I liked the product designing and I also liked the forklifts on the conveyor belt.
Finally, the tour guide took us back to the cinema room. We asked some questions. We received a calendar a pen and we took a picture with Martin Mc Kenna. Noah and Conor both received a mini Ailse Master.

Next, we met Frank and Shauna at the cinema room they explained more about Combilift. Frank gave each of us ear plugs to protect our ears from harmful noises around the factory. They split us into two groups in my group our tour guides were Frank and Shauna. Then we went on our tour my favourite things about the tour was the shot blaster the straddle carrier and the spray room. The shot blaster was used to take all the rust of the parts, the straddle carrier is used to carry containers easily the spray room was used to paint all the parts. Finally, we went back to the cinema room there we met Martin McKenna He talked about his role in Combilift Shauna gave everyone brochures, calendar’s and pens then we went back to the reception and we had our photograph taken and then we said goodbye to everyone and went back to school I really enjoyed our Combilift tour and would like to go back again

Then we met our tour guide Catherine Fox, She gave us our Hi-Viz and Goggles. Then she took us to the cinema room upstairs to see a promotional video for Combilift. Then we met our tour guide 2 Frank and Shauna with a box full of earplugs to protect us from harmful noises in the factory. Then they split us up into two groups there was nine in each group. Then Catherine took us down to the design room we saw them design the Combi-SC. Then we were took down to the 6 welding rooms and one room where we saw them make glass for the Combi-CB. Then we were brought into the spray painting room. After we saw the Shock Blaster which made all the sides nice and smooth. Then we saw Combilift’s biggest design ever made the straddle carrier. After we were took into the display room to see all the different types of Combilift’s superberb designs over the past 21 years. Then we were brought into the ordering rooms we saw the highest selling product the Aisle-Master we also saw the Combi-2000c. We also saw much more machinery.
After that we went back to the cinema room and received Combilift calendars, books and I received an Aisle Master. After that we hopped onto the bus and went back to school. I really enjoyed visiting Combilift.
