Linde Electric Forklift (X20 – X35) - Demetriades Handling | Material Handling

Description

The first truly emission-free alternative

The X20 – X35 counterbalance forklift trucks from Linde Material Handling are the first electric forklifts whose high performance and robustness means they can be used as a genuine alternative to internal combustion (IC) trucks. Customers therefore enjoy absolute freedom of choice and are able to choose a quiet, emission-free alternative for even the most challenging applications, without having to allow for any loss of performance. The basis for all of this is the common platform developed by Linde for counterbalance forklift trucks, whether powered by internal combustion engines or electricity. This means that the X20 – X35 forklifts combine the best of two worlds: the characteristic output and power development of IC trucks and the dynamics, flexibility, and freedom from emissions offered by electric trucks.

Characteristics

Safety

The comprehensive safety concept of the X20 – X35 electric forklift trucks protects not only the driver but also pedestrians and the goods being transported. The slimline mast design, narrow A-pillar, and lowered front plate afford the driver an unimpeded view of the load and surrounding area. Even when loading and unloading at higher levels, the roof design continues to give the driver a perfect view of the load. The truck’s low center of gravity and high steering axle ensure a high degree of protection from the risk of overturning. In addition, Linde Curve Assist, fitted as standard, reduces truck speed on bends and prevents it from tipping over. If the load is tilted too far forward when lifting, the Linde Load Assist, which is integrated as standard, automatically intervenes to reduce the forward tilt and lifting speed according to the lifting height. This function minimizes the risk of accidents caused by falling loads.

Ergonomics

The spacious and comfortable workspace for the driver and the ergonomic seat versions ensure an optimal operating experience and combat tension and exhaustion. Thanks to the wide field of view, the driver can easily keep both the load and the surrounding area in sight at all times. The truck functions can be operated with little physical effort since all of the central control elements are close at hand around the driver. Even on uneven floors, the ride is comfortable and even. The chassis is separate from the drive axle through an elastomer ring bearing and from the mast and steering axle by additional bearings, so the driver feels significantly less vibration and jolting. This also reduces noise, causing less overall physical strain on the driver and contributing to higher handling capacities.

Handling

As the new electric high performers, the X20 – X35 forklifts can be used for the most demanding applications, even on uneven floor surfaces. This is made possible by the wheelbase, which is long for an electric forklift, and the large tires, together with the vibration-free drive axle. Neither dust and dirt nor steep ramps, long distances or regular heavy loads and high lifting will push these new electric forklift trucks to their limits. The key to all of this is the new synchronous reluctance motor with permanent magnets (SRM+), together with an innovative water cooling system that keeps the power modules within the ideal temperature range. This ensures a consistently high performance even in extremely demanding multi-shift operation. In addition, the top-mounted tilt cylinder, in combination with the torsion-resistant mast design, offers a high residual load capacity and safe handling of loads of between 2–3.5 tonnes, even at considerable lifting heights.

Service

The driver can view all of the important information—such as remaining battery levels, warning lights, and operating hours—at a glance from the 3.5-inch display, fitted as standard. Text information on the display guides the driver through simple maintenance processes. Firmware updates and fault diagnosis can be carried out remotely. This reduces the number of service operations and hence reduces servicing costs. Service and repair intervals are calculated on the basis of constantly updated operating hours. Wear and any damage that occurs are identified at an early stage by remote diagnosis. The temperature sensor integrated as standard, which continuously analyses measurements such as oil temperature in relation to ambient temperature, is one of the elements that makes this possible. Serious consequential damage is thus avoided. The mast and driver’s workspace are modular assemblies that can be replaced quickly and easily, reducing the downtime required for repairs.

Technical Data

Optional Equipment

Linde Steer Control

The innovative Linde Steer Control concept from Linde Material Handling replaces the classic steering wheel with a mini steering wheel or joystick, increasing the truck’s ergonomics, precision and safety.

Linde Safety Pilot

Using the Safety Pilot from Linde Material Handling when operating counterbalance forklift trucks largely prevents tipping accidents.

Visual Warning Systems

Warning light systems such as Linde BlueSpot™ and Linde TruckSpot project colored spots of light or warning signs onto the floor to warn pedestrians and other trucks.

Linde Safety Guard

The innovative Safety Guard assistance system from Linde warns truck drivers and pedestrians of acute danger in the immediate vicinity of the trucks, using acoustic and light signals.

Full Cabin

The comfort cabin protects the driver when working outdoors and provides outstanding all-round visibility of the load and the working environment thanks to its armored glass roof and large-scale glass doors

Battery Replacement

The battery is very easy to replace; on a pallet truck, for example, simply open the door on the right-hand side.

Seat Variants

A large selection of seats ensures additional comfort and active protection against postural injuries with functions like air suspension, lumbar support, seat heating, and seat ventilation.

Load Weight Indicator

On the display, this optional function shows the driver the current load weight.

Air-Conditioning* with Integrated Heating

The powerful air-conditioning system with integrated heating and pollen filter guarantees a comfortable working environment in the cab all year round, while also preventing windows from fogging up.

Container Version

Despite the truck being just 2225 mm high, it still allows for an ergonomic workstation with ample headroom. These dimensions are vital for many container terminals and other indoor areas with low clearance heights.

Light Solutions

With its semi-circular design, the Linde VertiLight evenly illuminates the working area. The Linde LED Stripes two-color light strips use white light to illuminate the truck’s direction of travel.

Linde Speed Assist

The Linde Speed Assist driver assistance system automatically adjusts the truck’s top speed to the environment and the driving situation.

Multifunctional Display

In addition to truck information, the 7-inch screen can also show such things as the Linde Safety Pilot display, or images from the mast or reverse cameras. The screen layout and displays can be individually customized.
