A new variety of forklifts designed for application-specific productivity have been launched by Linde Material Handling.
The German logistics specialist is replacing its existing range of electric forklifts with a total of 26 new three- and four-wheel truck models with load capacities ranging from 1.0 to 2.0 tons.
The new trucks have been designed to offer significant enhancements in ergonomics and performance.
In particular, the models with integrated lithium-ion batteries make a significant contribution in this regard.
The largest market segment of all industrial truck classes is comprised of three- and four-wheel electric forklifts with a load range of up to two tons.
These versatile vehicles are an asset in a multitude of settings, including beverage stores, distribution centres, food production facilities and the building materials trade.
Additionally, they are well-suited for use in metalworking shops, chemical production facilities, paper manufacturing plants and woodworking operations.

In other applications, the trucks must operate in confined spaces and contend with challenging environmental conditions such as extreme temperatures, dust and dirt.
To meet a wide range of customer requirements, the new electric counterbalanced trucks are available in a variety of models, with load capacities ranging from 1.0 up to 2.0 tons, three or four wheels, and a choice between integrated lithium-ion and trough batteries.
All vehicles can be tailored to provide the ideal performance for their intended use, with the highest possible capacities if required, and feature an ergonomic workplace.
Torsten Rochelmeyer, Senior Director Strategy & Solution Portfolio at Linde Material Handling, said: “Linde MH is once again setting the benchmark for this crucial industrial truck sector.
"Thanks to new technologies and optimized vehicle design, we can now meet our customers’ demands for high-performance, energy-efficient, comfortable and safe vehicles even better than before."
