Fast handling in narrow high rack warehouses

REACH TRUCKS

Flexible, efficient and safe in the warehouse

Load handling in warehouses requires numerous movements and maneuvering, often in confined spaces and at height. Linde reach trucks are tailor-made for these conditions and ensure extremely efficient operation in high rack warehouses. Besides their outstanding maneuverability, special display and assistance systems support the driver to allow safe and quick handling. For example, they automatically adjust the lift and travel speed, or precisely compensate for mast oscillation in certain models.

The design of the driver’s cab and the masts provides optimum all-round visibility. In addition, the driver’s cab and control elements are developed based on the driver’s individual ergonomic requirements. For example, the Linde Load Control integrated into the armrest and a vibration-free driver’s cab make fatigue-free working possible. Additional equipment, such as a panorama armored glass roof, increases driver safety in narrow rack aisles and when handling loads at height.

All models are extremely cost-effective to service thanks to low-maintenance components and long maintenance intervals. Companies can choose the right truck for their requirements from a wide product range. Depending on the model, mast heights can reach up to about 14 meters with lifting capacity of up to 2.5 tons.

Assistance systems are the key

The hydrostatic drive features a pump which is powered by the internal combustion engine. This pump transmits power in the form of oil pressure via a closed circuit linked to the two hydraulic engines in the drive axle. The driver controls the volume and direction of the oil flow – and therefore the speed and direction of the truck – using two pedals: the Linde dual pedal control. The truck’s direction can be changed simply by switching pedals. This closes the cycle of oil which slows the truck, meaning a brake system is not required – and the same is true of a clutch or transmission. This is how Linde’s hydrostatic drive is able to work fluidly, entirely uniformly, and smoothly. This innovative form of transmission is what gives Linde’s internal combustion trucks their dexterity and efficiency.

More visibility for better safety

An unimpeded view of loads and the surrounding area are a fundamental requirement for safe truck operation. To make sure that this is met even in confined spaces, Linde designed the reach trucks for optimum visibility and fitted them with appropriate equipment. For example, a new mast concept enabled the field of vision to be doubled for R14 – R17 X product line trucks. An optional armored glass roof provides a view through the roof of the cabin, while also ensuring maximum safety. For handling situations where visibility is very poor, there is also the option of using a mast camera.

Cost-Effective and Robust Forklift Trucks

Efficient handling, ergonomic workspaces, and comprehensive safety packages – these are the guidelines that have led the development of the latest generation of IC trucks. That’s why, for example, the trucks boast exceptionally economical engines, and can also put in an incredible number of operating hours without interruption, as they only rarely require servicing, while easy to access service modules ensure that maintenance processes are quick and simple.

Work Healthily

The developers design the trucks around the driver, with ergonomics as the bottom line – a fact to which the adjustable armrests and comfortable, back-friendly seats attest. Rubber bearings on the axles, mast, and tilt cylinders, as well as comfortable seats reduce the vibrations felt by the driver.

The Linde Load Control and dual pedal steering also play an important role. While controlling driving operations with their feet, the driver can simultaneously operate the lifting functions with their fingers. This operating concept reduces unnecessary movements, meaning drivers can work for longer with less fatigue.

Safely on the Move in the Truck

There are many factors in a forklift truck that play a role in ensuring the safety of the driver and the load, including exceptional visibility, assistance systems, and a wide range of structural protection elements – whether the Linde Protector Frame for up to five ton models or the optimal visibility counterbalance for heavy trucks. This is how Linde IC trucks ensure the highest degree of safety in any application – for both the driver and their environment.

Comfortable operation

An ergonomic work station makes it easier for forklift drivers to perform their daily duties and increases their efficiency, as they tire much less quickly. Linde trucks are therefore designed with a focus on ergonomic requirements, starting with the lowest possible entry point through to a vibration-free chassis and an air-cushioned driver’s seat, which adjusts to the driver’s weight (R14 – R20 G product line). Linde engineers were also able to further optimize the available space in the truck with an innovative truck design. In addition, many of the control elements and the seat can be adapted to the driver’s individual needs and requirements.

Trucks for every requirement

Every sector has its special requirements, while truck requirements also differ from one company to another. That’s why we have reach trucks for specific tasks, such as transporting bulky loads or stacking pallets. Numerous product options, which provide the necessary load capacity and lifting heights, are also available within the reach truck series. In addition, companies can choose from an extensive range of additional equipment, such as a design for use in refrigerated warehouses, a draft shield door and seat heating for outdoor use, or 360° steering for maneuvering in the tightest of spaces.
