Spindle lift drives that do not require maintenance take on the task of lifting the dollies clear of the ground, whereby the maximum load capacity is 2000 kilograms. In order to release the pallet roller frames, the operator must lower them, either by means of a foot switch located directly on the trailer frame, or at the front using the operating unit on the tow tractor. When the pallet roller frames are released, the driving function is automatically blocked for safety reasons. A trailer coupling with no play ensures the logistic train stays exactly on course. A four-metre turning circle is sufficient for a full turn, meaning the train can turn safely on a 2.3-metre-wide side path. The CAN bus controller and use of quality parts from series production ensure the truck is easy to service. 

Linde Logistik and Factory Train-4

The second trailer train system, the Linde Factory Train, is modular in design, featuring standardised basic modules. The train in its entirety is made up of an initial module, one or more main modules and an end module. With this concept, various goods carriers such as C-frame, E-frame, QS-frame or bridge-frame models are interlocked without play in between two standardised modules. As the carriers can be replaced at any time, the operator retains full flexibility in the face of changing requirements. The module's electrical functions, i.e. steering, lifting and lowering, are achieved by means of a CAN bus controller. In contrast to the Linde Logistic Train, the Factory Train is also suitable for transporting materials on uneven surfaces outdoors between production halls. This is possible thanks to the relevant ground clearance offered by the modules, which are equipped with superelastic tyres with a diameter of 250 or 306 millimetres. As such, with this trailer train solution, great focus has been placed on the optional weather protection and its ergonomic means of operation. The operator can open the automatic curtain on the weather protection cab using just one hand, without having to bend down.
