SAFETY FIRST
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.
