“Our Linde HT160 are in operation 24/7, 365 days a year.
They often operate in close proximity to the red-hot melting
furnaces, where it’s up to 750 degrees and extremely dusty.
These challenging conditions pose no problem for our robust
HT160 models, which have been specially adapted for use in
foundries. We’ve been really impressed by the reliability and
performance of all the Linde trucks, including the other twenty
electric and combustion engine trucks in our Linde fleet.”

“I spend the whole day moving heavy aluminum bars
around the facility. It’s a big area with ordinary roads,
but you hardly notice the bumps and vibrations from
the uneven road surface, thanks to the fantastic
sprung seat. The large driver’s cab is really
comfortable and I always have a great view of the
road, even when reversing.”

OUTSTANDING FEATURES
Based on a decade of close dialog with users from a vast range of sectors, we have
developed an extremely spacious driver’s cab which makes no compromises when it
comes to ergonomics or the user experience. The cab comes with all models as
standard and can be enhanced with some pioneering equipment options. One great
option is the rotating driver’s seat, which can rotate 10 or 17 degrees to the right,
thus reducing the strain on the drivers’ spine when reversing. Drivers control all key
lift functions using a non-slip joystick, while their arm rests comfortably on the
length and height-adjustable armrest with integrated storage compartment for keys,
mobile phone, etc. The height and angle of the steering column can also be adjust-
ed to the driver's preferred position. The cab impresses with numerous extra storage
solutions and a heated rear windscreen; and if that’s not enough, the wide range of
optional extras includes everything from a high-performance air-conditioning system
to a passenger seat.
Whether your employees are office workers or forklift truck drivers, the same principle applies: If you give your employees what
they need, they will be more motivated and, ultimately, produce better work results. This exact principle was our starting point
when designing the cab for the Linde HT100 – HT180 heavy trucks. The driver is at the center of every element of the design, from
the spacious cab offering excellent visibility, to the sophisticated controls through to the logical arrangement of the displays. Plus,
since your logistics team often work long hours in challenging conditions, we’ve added lots of clever extra comfort features to
enhance the ergonomics.
SMART INFORMATION
The high-resolution 7-inch touchscreen color display is installed on the overhead
console, facing the driver. The display gives the driver an overview of all the key
information, including footage from the optional rear-view camera, meaning
there is no need for a separate screen if this option is selected. The touchscreen
controls are also extremely easy to use and intuitive. The radio option comes
with a Bluetooth speakerphone, so drivers can listen to music and make calls
safely while working whenever they want.

THE HEIGHT OF COMFORT
Bumps, shocks, and vibrations can all cause problems for drivers’ health and wellbeing. To counter
this, Linde’s engineers have used special rubber bearings to keep the driver’s cab completely sepa-
rate from the truck and the chassis, so that drivers feel as few vibrations as possible. The individu-
ally-adjustable cushioned seat, which is fitted as standard, also makes a significant contribution to
the operator’s comfort. Fitted with hydraulic suspension, it provides additional protection against
vibrations, such as those caused by uneven surfaces.
JUMP IN AND GET GOING
The Linde HT100 – HT180 have a really simple pedal set-up – one
pedal for acceleration and a combined brake/inching pedal – so they
are very easy operate and it takes very little time to train drivers. To
change direction, you simply flip the switch in the armrest. This set-
up is a tried-and-tested solution that is widely used around the world,
so if your fleet contains trucks from other manufacturers, your drivers
won’t have adapt to different controls each time they switch trucks.

MAXIMUM VISIBILITY
We want your drivers to be able to drive with confidence, as well as care, which is why
the HT100 – HT180 heavy trucks have been designed to reduce fatigue and increase
productivity and safety when handling heavy loads. Take the lift mast for example: the
mast profile has been reshaped and made slimmer in order to maximize the driver's
view of both the load and the road ahead. Similarly, at the back of the truck, Linde's
engineers have given the counterbalance a sloping shape and integrated the exhaust
aftertreatment system – including the exhaust, air inlet, and combi-radiator – into the
chassis, to give the driver a clear view of the road behind.
100% RELIABLE BRAKING
When transporting heavy loads, even the slightest slip can be extremely dangerous. For
this reason, we have fitted the Linde HT100 – HT180 with an automatic parking brake as
standard. The brake activates automatically as soon as the driver dismounts, enabling safe
stopping on ramps and gradients.
In busy environments involving complex interactions between industrial trucks, people, and infrastructure, it is
vital to maintain rigorous safety standards. Ultimately, if your operations are safe, your logistics processes will
run smoothly, your employees will be happy at work, and your company won’t incur expensive costs resulting
from repairs and downtimes. This is precisely the reason why our heavy trucks provide maximum safety as
standard – with an intelligent design based on optimum visibility, as well as a wide range of optional assistance
systems and safety features.
MAXIMUM GRIP, MINIMUM RISK
Of course, when it comes to these giants of the forklift world, we have not
only thought about the big picture, but also kept a keen eye on the important
details. The best example of this is the highly slip-resistant steps, which are
fitted as standard. This design detail protects your employees from dangerous
trips or slips, and particularly comes into its own in scenarios where drivers
have to keep hopping on and off – with wet shoes, for example. There is also
an optional lighting system for the steps – a useful addition for fleets of fork-
lifts that have to operate in poor lighting conditions.
SAFE REVERSING
When a big bulky load is blocking the view to the front, sometimes the
only option is to drive backwards. The problem here is that the driver
has to twist their upper body into an unnatural position in order to see
where they're going. The more they have to do this, the greater the
strain on their body and, ultimately, the greater the damage to their
health and the greater the risk of an accident. Our optional rotating
driver’s workstation solves this problem. By pressing foot-pedals,
the driver can rotate their entire workstation – including their seat,
operating controls, steering wheel, and pedals – to the required
position. This reduces the strain on their spine caused by
turning backwards in their seat and also improves their
field of vision. The rotating driver’s workstation can
be adjusted to any position up to a maximum
rotation of 180 degrees.
EARLY WARNINGS TO REDUCE RISKS
The Linde Safety Guard really comes into its own in confined
environments where forklift trucks and people are working
close together. This state-of-the-art assistance system is able
to establish – with centimeter accuracy – the exact location of
pedestrians and vehicles in the truck’s vicinity. The system
uses special transmitter and receiver units which communi-
cate with one another – even through shelves, walls and
doors – with zero interference thanks to the ultra-broadband
technology. The Linde Safety Guard is therefore able to detect
potentially critical situations ahead of time, for instance if a
forklift driver and a pedestrian are on a collision course in the
warehouse. Linde’s new interactive safety vest also comes
into play in scenarios like this. Featuring smart technology,
the garment alerts the wearer to an approaching truck by
means of vibration as well as an acoustic signal. Thanks to the
ultra- bright LED stripes, the vest also makes the wearer highly
visible from a good distance away.

TOP QUALITY COMPONENTS
No matter what your material handling requirements, you can rest assured that our
heavy trucks are made with top-quality components that have a proven track record
in demanding industrial environments. For instance, we source our engine products
from Mercedes-Benz (MTU) and Cummins, two European companies with extensive
experience in this specialist engine segment. The transmission is from ZF, the drive
axle from Kessler, and the hydraulics from Danfoss.
Heavy goods handling requires power and endurance. And Linde’s HT100 – HT180 trucks
certainly have no shortage of either, thanks to our range of high-performance, clean diesel
engines, with various power outputs, and our state-of-the-art hydrodynamic drive.
