Linde's Aschaffenburg-Schweinheim factory.

Linde Material Handling, which currently has more than 12,500 employees, started producing forklifts in 1958. Today, the product range comprises 67 different series with 170 truck types. The company is the market leader in Europe and holds the number two position in the world market. With 10 manufacturing plants in Germany, France, UK, China and the US and a dense sales and service network, Linde Material Handling is present all over the world.

Industrial trucks are treated by Linde not as tools but as mobile workplaces and they are designed accordingly - they are ergonomic and functional. Easy operation of the trucks makes them highly economical. The driver can concentrate entirely on the job of lifting and moving loads and so do it with greater speed, safety and efficiency while avoiding unnecessary physical strain.

Economy also results from the trucks’ low operating costs. Modern electronics or advanced hydraulic controls measure out the power needed and thereby keep energy consumption down.

The recently introduced Linde PureMotion program incorporates a large number of technical and design solutions to reduce the impact on people and on the environment in the daily routine of work. Among these are, for example, the prevention of vibration for forklift operators, energy efficiency and the reduction of particulate matter and CO2 emissions.

Linde Material Handling provides its customers with long-term financial benefits thanks to unique technologies and a high degree of user convenience. This requirement applies to our entire range of materials handling equipment: electric- and IC forklifts, pallet stackers, order pickers, reach trucks, tow tractors and reach stackers.

In addition, the company creates the best conditions for successful business with a comprehensive range of services, from financing to complete fleet planning.
