Linde enhances K-range
Basingstoke. United KingdomLinde Material Handling (UK) has launched its new VNA modular combi truck, which was showcased in CeMAT in Hannover, Germany.
The truck is an enhancement of its predecessor, but with improved performance and ergonomics.
Linde spokesman Detlef Sieverdingbeck says the company considered changing market requirements for more order picking in man-up applications when designing the new truck.
"In order to suit the growing demand of order picking, a tilting side barrier allows the operator to easily reach goods in the rear of the stored pallet," he says.
The truck is available worldwide.
