Linde launches new trucks
Hamburg, Germany
Linde Material Handling has launched a new hand pallet truck incorporating a brake.
The truck, ProBrake, can lift loads up to 2.5 T and is claimed to be a safer and more productive alternative in manual handling.
Linde says the effort involved moving the ProBrake from stationary is one-sixth of that of similar machines without a brake fitted.
The truck's 'easy start' mechanism overcomes the initial inertia of a stationary truck, enabling the operator to get the laden machine moving quickly and effortlessly.

Linde has also launched a new generation of counterbalance engine trucks.
The Linde EVO 2-5 T counterbalance range has a common rail diesel engine with variable displacement pump, which Linde says enables the truck to offer "excellent fuel efficiency".
Initial customer tests of the 5 T truck have revealed that it was up to 28% more fuel efficient than the previous model.
The EVO range has been designed to exceed the new EC stage IIIB emissions legislation, which came into force in January.
