Greater towing power, increasing diversity

Linde Material Handling (MH) is launching a new product family of tractors and platform trucks onto the market. In addition to a six-tonne tractor, the forklift manufacturer also offers a device with an eight-tonne towing power in order to open up more market segments. Another extension to the product range is the Linde W08 load transporter with a capacity of 800 kilograms and a towing power of 7 tonnes. With state-of-the-art technology, all of the devices have car-like ergonomics and three different driving modes, an automatic holding and parking brake, sprung and de-coupled wheel attachments, the Linde Curve Assist, lateral battery change and, last but not least, a wide range of options for accurately equipping the devices for any application.

Typical areas where Linde P60 to P80 tractors are used include both production halls and external areas of industrial companies and airports. The equipment is also being increasingly used as towing trucks for tugger trains and logistics trains. Thanks to the towing power of six to eight tons, they even tow their loads over hills or loading ramps and, thanks to the high level of ground clearance, effortlessly overcome obstacles such as rails, beams or potholes. In this process, the de-coupled and sprung wheel attachment absorbs vibrations caused by uneven ground on all three wheels and therefore ensures pleasant and healthy working and flexible uses for the equipment. Due to the loads to be transported, the sprung elements are also additionally reinforced on the rear axle of the load transporter.
 

With a new product family of tractors and load transporters, Linde Material Handling is simultaneously expanding the product range.
