Linde Material Handling has introduced the 1313 series of hydrostatic drive, cushion-tire lift trucks designed for severe applications including earth-moving, logging, mining and construction.

The four models in the series are LPG-powered and have capacities ranging from 5,000lb (H25CT) to 6,500lb (H32CT).

They are designed for the demanding conditions of the Class IV market.

The 1313 series features a frame constructed of 1/2in steel and 5/8in cross bracing.

It features Linde's hydrostatic drive system to transfer power from the engine to the wheels.

Highly energy efficient, durable, and precise, the hydrostatic drive system is used in many demanding applications.

It easily manages the adverse effects of ramps, dust, heat, humidity, pushing, shoving and bulldozing.

With no clutch or friction service brakes, the Linde hydrostatic drive offers low maintenance costs, high truck uptime and long life.

LPG engines incorporate advanced technology, providing high torque, low fuel consumption, and low exhaust emission levels.

The Linde Clear-View Mast offers good visibility, residual capacity and electronic limiting of the tilt angle.

The Linde Twin Drive Pedals afford the operator a quick change of forward/reverse directions with the short pedal stroke, resulting in increased productivity and no leg fatigue.

The Linde Truck Control (LTC) features reliable microprocessor control technology, easily matched to individual application requirements with automatic control of engine rev/min.

The Linde Load Control (LLC) ensures accurate, safe load handling and fingertip control of all hydraulic functions.

Traction and all hydraulic functions are completely independent.

Advanced ergonomic design standards are achieved in the Linde operator compartment, which features a spacious cab with automobile-equivalent legroom, good visibility of load and surroundings, cushioned steer axle for reducing road shock, and noise abatement.
