Lithium-ion launch

As an initial step, the Linde T16 to T20 pedestrian pallet trucks will be available to order with a load capacity of between 1.6 and 2.0 tonnes from September.

The special feature of this solution is that the truck (including the truck control unit and electronics), battery and charger come together to form a complete system, the various components of which communicate via CAN bus. This set-up makes it possible to harness the full potential of the system in terms of performance, and capitalise on the benefits offered by the new battery technology.

In turn, this is said to lead to considerable reductions in energy costs and increasing levels of productivity. At the same time, thanks to a series of precise adjustments and fine-tuning, the system complies with even the most stringent safety requirements.
