Linde Material Handling has updated its entire 1.4 tonne to 18 tonne internal combustion forklift range with the introduction of the 5- to 8-tonne H50-H80 models, debuting at CeMAT 2008.
Design improvements include a nearly 20% improvement over predecessors of through-the-mast view, stage 3-compliant engines and the addition of a model with an 8-tonne lifting capacity at a 1.1 metre (3.6') load centre. Service intervals have also been extended from 500 to 1,000 hours.
The forklifts are powered by a Deutz turbo-diesel engine that complies with the 2004/26/EC emissions directive in force since 1 January 2008.
TCM launches FB35-7 and ERT range
TOKYO, JapanTCM Japan has introduced the FB35-7 3.5 tonne (7,716lb) electric counterbalanced forklift to meet demand for environmentally friendly higher load capacity forklifts.

The new forklift is available globally.
TCM has also unveiled its first sit-down ERT reach truck range for the European market.
The ERT comes in 1.4 tonne (3,087lb), 1.6 tonne (3,527lb) and 2.0 tonne (4,409lb) capacities and has lift heights up to 9.75 metres (32 feet).
