End-to-end automation with new forklifts
Intralogistics specialist Linde Material Handling has added three new models to its range of automated forklifts.
According to Linde, the three new models – the Linde K MATIC k VNA turret truck, Linde R-MATIC k reach truck, and the Linde L MATIC AC k counterbalanced pallet stacker with cantilevered forks – strengthen its standing as a solution partner for warehouse automation.
These series production models are designed to maximize the benefits of automation projects implemented with Linde MH, reducing planning and implementation times while ensuring greater efficiency and lower costs.
“With the new models, the already launched automated Linde L-MATIC HD k pallet stacker, and the fully automated compact Linde L-MATIC core variant, we can automate our customers’ material flow processes more easily and cost-effectively, while also making them more service-friendly and flexible for expansion,” says Pascal Kuster, sales trainer automated guided vehicles at Linde MH.
Both VNA trucks and reach trucks use state-of-the-art reflector technology for navigation. They feature a sensor-based pallet positioning system with “intelligent” forks for precisely storing and retrieving qualified load carriers such as Euro pallets, mesh boxes and CHEP pallets.
In addition, the new vehicles have been developed in-house and are designed to map key intralogistics processes end-to-end, while the VNA trucks and reach trucks are digitally networked with the pallet stacker variants.
