Many an industrial truck operator considers switching from lead-acid batteries to lithium-ion technology when it comes to investing in new trucks. This is due to the numerous advantages this technology offers: rapid (intermediate) charging, no battery changes, excellent performance thanks to high energy density and constant power output, long battery life and freedom from maintenance.
With more than 30 other such warehouse trucks added to the portfolio of Linde Material Handling – including pallet stackers, double stackers, order pickers, and reach trucks –, customers can now fulfill the majority of logistics tasks in the warehouse with Li-ION variants. More specifically, the expanded range of lithium-ion models encompasses pallet stackers and double stackers in the load range of 1.2 to 1.6 tons. In addition, the product spectrum includes low-level order pickers with 2.0 tons load capacity and reach trucks in the load range of 1.0 to 2.5 tons.
All Li-ION battery can be combined with three different chargers – depending on how often and for how long (intermediate) charging is possible and what demands customers make regarding recharging speed. In the best of cases, it takes just 70 minutes for the Li-ION battery pack to fully recharge.
