Linde MH unveils new trucks
Stuttgart, GermanyLinde Material Handling has unveiled two new trucks for "light" logistics use at the LogiMAT trade show in Stuttgart, Germany this week.
The Linde D06 and D08 compact double stackers can lift loads of 600 and 800 kg (1,322 and 1,764 lb.) respectively with the main lift and 1.6 T and 1.8 T with the initial lift.
Suitable for supermarkets, the double stackers have numerous functions that protect the operator from potential hazards. The SafetySpeed function regulates truck speed according to the position of the tiller while the SafetyLift function prevents accidental raising or lowering when the tiller is in the vertical position, because the lifting functions can be activated only when the crawl speed button is pressed. There are also four different brake systems to prevent collisions.
