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
Essensium has introduced what it claims is the world's most advanced collision warning solution to prevent accidents in warehouses.
The product, SafeTrack, is claimed to offer a solution where alternative safety systems fail. As it is based on a global view of the site, it can "more accurately identify real and false alarm conditions" than systems based on proximity detection.
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.
