Linde introduces new reach trucks
Aschaffenburg, Germany

Linde Material Handling has launched its latest series of reach trucks for indoor and outdoor use.
Available in the 1.4 to 2 T load category, the Linde R14G-R20G trucks are equipped with large super-elastic tyres and can cope with uneven or wet surfaces. They are suited for the loading and unloading of trucks, and for use at ramps, high racks or in outdoor areas.
The new reach trucks have load wheels with diameters of up to 458 mm (18 in.) and mast ground clearance of 168 mm (6.6 in.). Equipped with a 6.5 kW drive motor, the reach trucks achieve maximum driving speeds of 14 km/h (87 mph).
The torsion-resistant tilting masts can be fitted with standard masts or triplex masts. Both versions offer the driver a wide view of the lift mast, which is up to 7,700 mm (25 ft.) high.

Essensium launches SafeTrack
Leuven, Belgium

SafeTrack is based on "accurate 2D position information that is provided by ... EPS (Essensium Positioning Solution) technology". It consists of indoor reference nodes, indoor mobile nodes for both people and vehicles, and a new version of the location server with an anti-collision software development kit.
