Linde Material Handling (MH) is making it easier to maneuver in confined spaces in logistics, retail and production with new compact double stackers and a pallet truck. All vehicles are optionally equipped with an active foot protection guard to prevent injuries. The pallet truck offers an ergonomic lift for order picking that is gentle on the back and knees.

“In settings such as supermarkets, warehouses or production environments, space is almost always an issue. The compact design of the new Linde double stackers offers a significant advantage for short- to medium-distance transportation, as well as for tasks such as truck loading and unloading, order picking, and the restocking of supermarket shelves,” says Marc Castro, Senior Strategy and Portfolio Manager for Warehouse Trucks at Linde Material Handling.

The Linde D06 to D10 models, which can simultaneously move loads of 0.6, 0.8 or 1.0 tons on the free lift and an additional 1.0 ton on the initial lift, are available with different battery versions to suit specific requirements. In versions equipped with a compact lithium-ion battery, the distance between the chassis and fork face (l2 dimension) is notably reduced: The Linde D06 has a length of just 592 mm. The latest addition to the range is the Linde D08 M double stacker with a mono-mast. This model offers a load capacity of 0.8 tons on the free lift and 1.0 tons on the initial lift, with a lift height of 1,590 mm.

Its compact design, enabled by the inclusion of a compact lithium-ion battery, makes it an ideal choice for settings such as retail environ¬ments, where it can be used for transporting goods from the storage area to the sales floor and for stocking shelves. The mono-mast provides an extended view of the load and the truck’s surroundings, enabling the driver to work more efficiently and safely. All vehicles in the new double stacker series feature a five-point contact configuration with a centered drive wheel, ensuring optimal stability when driving over uneven ground or ramps. The special Linde OptiLift mast control allows operators to precisely control the lifting speed via a lever on the tiller head.

Pallet truck model designed with a special focus on ergonomics
The new pedestrian pallet truck Linde T16 L has been developed to improve comfort when picking orders in e-commerce or when restocking shelves in supermarkets. The ergonomic lift is designed specifically with these requirements in mind. Controls on the tiller and on the sides of the truck allow the forks to be raised to a maximum working height of 675 millimeters, enabling the operator to place the goods on the truck in a position that is gentle on the back.

Both the double stackers and the pallet truck are extremely compact, measuring only 1,742 mm in length (l1 dimension) and 720 mm in width. This makes them even more maneuverable than their predecessors. The vehicles are available with either lithium-ion or lead-acid battery power options. The lithium-ion batteries, in turn, are offered tray based or as compact version, the latter allowing for a particularly compact truck design. The powerful drive motor provides ample power and provides up to 20 percent climbing ability.

The latest addition to the safety features is the optional active foot protection guard. It senses contact and automatically stops or stops and reverses the truck. Standard features include the low chassis skirt, which prevents the operator’s feet from being trapped under the truck, and the low-set tiller arm, which ensures that the operator is at a safe distance from the truck. For added convenience, the autolift function is available. This equipment option automatically lowers the forks during loading or automatically lifts the forks when removing parcels from the pallet on the forks, thus saving the operator time.
