They literally take pallet handling and order picking in narrow aisles to a new level: The new K series trucks from Linde Material Handling impress customers with lifting heights of up to 18 meters and improved ergonomics, while simultaneously offering significantly enhanced performance and safety.
The new generation of K trucks offers considerable added value in terms of performance: For example, the main lift for the driver’s cab and the secondary lift for the fork can be raised and lowered simultaneously. The resulting advantage: Driver and forks reach the desired shelving position faster, which significantly increases productivity. In addition, the new Linde VNA combi trucks can now operate at heights of up to 18 meters – with even greater safety ensured. This is due mainly to an innovative technology called Dynamic Reach Control (DRC). The driver does not have to wait for the mast to stop swinging when picking or handling pallets, and can therefore place the load on the shelving faster and more precisely.
A second example of added value and performance is the driver’s cab, which is now 50 millimeters lower than in previous models therefore drivers have more leg room and freedom of movement. The front windshield, which has been enlarged by 80 millimeters downwards, provides better visibility (+20 percent) of the forks and cargo. This helps to effectively prevent damage to shelving and goods.
Another new feature in the driver’s cab is the digital control panel: The clearly arranged control unit displays all relevant data on a fully graphical display – from travel speed or lifting height to information provided by important safety sensors. It also integrates two hand sensors and a large dead man’s switch. The optional “Rescue Alarm” function provides additional security.
Since no two warehouses are alike customers have a choice between 64 different lift mast variations or can select one of ten cabin widths in two different versions. No other manufacturer is currently offering a comparable variety of options in this segment.
