Stacking loads of up to five tons electrically

For the first time, the large counterbalance trucks are just as powerful, robust and comfortable as the proven Linde hydrostats and enable companies with heavy loads, for example in the paper, timber, beverage and chemical industries, to make their intralogistics more sustainable and climate-neutral. Technically, the high performance is achieved through a new generation of engines and the vehicle concept, which has been adapted from the ground up.

High-performance synchronous reluctance motors are used, which are also equipped with permanent magnets. In conjunction with the efficient and robust thermal management system for the power modules installed on the drive axle, the efficiency and energy efficiency of the motors is improved by up to 5 percent. It also ensures that the rated power can be called up even for the most demanding tasks in multi-shift operation.

The lithium-ion systems developed by Linde Material Handling support this with their high overall safety, shock resistance and sealing against dirt and moisture. The X models also offer operators significantly more space and an improved view of the load and surroundings. The latest technologies in safety equipment and driver assistance systems ensure a high level of operational safety. They extend the natural field of vision, inform, warn or - if necessary - intervene to protect people, vehicles, goods and the surroundings. Decoupling the driver's workplace from the drive unit and mast also significantly improves driving comfort.

To absorb shocks when driving over thresholds, guide rails or uneven ground, the models have an elastomer ring bearing on the front axle. This provides noticeable relief for the driver. The large models are also available with Linde Steer Control (LSC) as an option. This version does away with the steering column and steering wheel; instead, a mini-wheel or joystick is integrated into the left armrest, which makes it even easier for the operator to steer the truck. The forklifts are suitable for even the most demanding applications and can be configured precisely to the individual requirements of a company. With a workplace that meets the highest standards of user-friendliness, ergonomics and safety, they create the conditions for further increases in productivity.

The Linde X35 - X50 models from Linde MH combine the power and robustness of Linde hydrostats with the potential zero emissions and dynamics of electric forklift trucks. For the first time, they make it possible to use electric forklift trucks where the use of combustion trucks was previously unavoidable. These include applications in which the vehicles have to overcome steep inclines or provide high load-bearing and lifting capacities over long periods of time. The large electric forklift models are therefore setting new standards when it comes to using powerful and robust electric forklifts on a par with combustion engines and effectively combining performance and sustainability.

Like all trucks in the newly developed counterbalanced truck generation from Linde MH, the models are fully networked ex works and have an integrated data transmission unit as standard. Relevant truck data is transferred locally to the customer's IT system or a secure, central cloud server via Wi-Fi or the mobile network and is available to downstream applications such as the Linde connect fleet management system or the Linde Truck Health Management service system.
