Last year, Linde Material Handling launched a new product family of driver's seat and stand-on platform pallet trucks and double stackers. Following the introduction of trucks with a lateral or frontal stand-on platform, models with a lateral driver’s seat are now being launched on the market as a second step.
- The TipControl is a newly developed feature – a handle and control lever rolled into one which can be installed on the right or left of the operation panel in many models;
- During work, the padded armrest, easy-to-reach “TipControl” lever, steering wheel, and padded knee protection offer a high level of comfort and help reduce fatigue;
- The optionally available seat heating system provides additional comfort and protects the driver’s health at temperatures below zero in refrigerated warehouses;
- The operator can control the driving and lifting functions precisely and simultaneously via thumb and index finger;
- Three autonomous braking systems provide efficient driver protection in various situations;
- The seating position, situated at a 90° angle to the direction of travel, provides a good view while driving forward and in reverse;
- Performance and energy consumption are proportional to each other: The higher the performance, the more energy is consumed. For this reason, the new trucks allow the presetting of maximum travel speeds with and without load.
Common to all these trucks is their high traction force and stability, an option of either lead-acid or lithium-ion batteries, and the innovative TipControl for handling driving and lifting functions. In addition, they all allow for the flexible arrangement of operating elements.
The new trucks include Linde T20 R and T 25 R pallet trucks with 2.0 and 2.5 tons load capacity respectively, Linde D12 R double stackers with 1.2 tons load capacity and Linde L14 R and L16 R pallet stackers with 1.4 and 1.6 tons load capacity, all of which feature a new chassis width of 820 millimeters. In addition, Linde T20 SR and T25 SR pallet trucks are available with a lateral stand-on platform which can lift 2.0 and 2.5 tons respectively, and both have a chassis width of 790 millimeters.
