Unsurpassed levels of operator comfort
The new generation of Linde reach trucks is setting new standards in the marketplace thanks to the outstanding levels of
comfort and convenience it offers: The operating console can be individually adjusted to suit every operator. Thanks to
the various ergonomically located storage pockets, the operator always has work documents and personal items readily to
hand – including mobile phones with the optional, integrated auxiliary socket.
Working with the new reach truck the operator experiences unsurpassed levels of stability, comfort, performance and safety.
Among the many reasons for this unique driving experience is the responsive rheological electric steering system. The
steering torque and number of steering turns lock to lock are individually adjustable to suit every operator’s preferences.
The renowned precision Linde Load Control of the mast functions and the combination of 180° steering and twin accelerator
pedals provide effortless operation. The operator’s left foot is always safely within the chassis contours. The Linde twin pedal
system is very intuitive: Left foot for forward travel, right foot for reverse travel. Automatic regenerative braking occurs as
accelerator pedal is released.

Workstation Suspension:
Designed to minimise whole body vibrations
The operator’s daily work is often negatively influenced by uneven surfaces, crossing thresholds or floor expansion joints,
which transmit vibrations to the body. To absorb and minimise these vibrations, the workstation of the new reach truck is
uniquely suspended and isolated from the base chassis via four specially designed resilient mountings.
In addition, the newly developed and revolutionary air suspension comfort seat from Linde also absorbs these vibrations
before they affect the operator, and the seats air suspension system automatically adjusts to the operator’s weight within
an 80mm air suspension band. Every operator can select a bespoke and superbly comfortable working posture. These
important innovations ensure that whole body vibrations are minimised.
