-----Even closer proximity to customers with flexible trailer train solutions

Mainz, Aschaffenburg, 6 May 2014. At the "World of Material Handling" customer event in Mainz, Germany, Linde Material Handling (MH) presented two new logistic train solutions. The Linde Logistic Train and Linde Factory Train are both designed for the modern, cycle-based flow of materials that takes place in production facilities, with both systems offering the highest level of flexibility and convenience.

This synchronised form of production supply was originally pioneered by the automotive industry. However, the space-saving logistic trains from Linde are increasingly being used in other fields of industry too. The trains comprise a compact tow tractor capable of pulling three, five or six tonnes, together with one or more load trailers
and/or modules.

Linde Logistik and Factory Train

The two trailer train solutions from Linde represent completely new designs, with both the Logistic Train and the Factory Train boasting a high level of directional stability and manoeuvrability. What's more, in contrast to the majority of solutions available on the market, both trains come without a centre axle, making the trucks extremely flexible in terms of the containers to be carried.
