Safety of Linde’s Heavy Duty Material Handling Equipment

Safety was definitely not left out of the mix when it came to the design of these Linde forklifts. The forklift itself boast compact design features, the cab of the forklift being placed in a forward position, allowing for the maximum through-mast visibility for the operator.

Visibility is also emphasised in the design of these heavy duty beasts. The visibility around the forklift is optimised through the use of glass panels in the rear, top and sides of the cab. The windscreen is also curved allowing for a better visibility along the side screens.

The cabin (or compartment) also features an impacted tested load guard structure as well as an integrated overhead guard for operator safety.

H 100 – H 180 Linde Forklifts’ Performance

Through the use of the hydrostatic drive system, a Linde forklift for sale in this heavy duty range promises not only precision, but an optimised speed performance as well. The H 100 to H 180 Linde forklifts features a smooth operation through its stepless drive system, allowing for an acceleration through to its stop speed without mechanical intervention.

Combined with powerful Cummins engines, this range of material handling equipment from Linde, along with its advanced hydrostatic system not only ensures that the driver is able to engage the load with precision, but the forklift itself delivers a best in class performance along with low fuel consumption.

Interior and comfort of the H 100 to H 180 Linde Forklifts

Mounted to a tilting frame with high density rubber mounts, the operator receives a comfortable work environment with the drive and powertrain vibrations being sufficiently supressed. Along with high visibility – mentioned earlier with the glass roof, sides and rear – even the operator’s seat has hydraulic dampening providing extra cushioning.

The operator’s controls extend to include the Linde Load Control levers, a console mounted handbrake, a twin pedal drive system, a centralised glare-free multifunctional display and a centre emergency brake.
