The list of Linde exclusive features —
Added comfort, enhanced performance, superior
productivity.
Dual motor drive axle
Two drive motors, placed in a tough cast iron axle, help to actively
control all truck movements. Not only the obvious forward and
reverse travel; this system also facilitates turning the truck in the
smallest aisle possible. After the steer wheel angle exceeds 70
degrees, the inside wheel dynamically counter-rotates. Not only
does Linde provide the tightest turning truck, this system also
contributes to minimizing energy consumption and reducing tire
wear. All of this without the need for a differential gear box.
Top-mounted tilt cylinders
Top mounted tilt cylinders make use of basic laws of physics by
utilizing the principle and advantage of levers. The high mounting
makes it easier to stabilize the mast and the result is less
mechanical stress on the chassis and better stability, especially
with the load elevated.
Patented “combi” steering axle
Here is another Linde patent, the combi axle. This system allows
the 387 4-wheel trucks to turn as though they were 3-wheelers.
In order to maneuver a curve, both steering wheels adjust to allow
the truck to rotate around the center of the front axle. Together
with the dual motor drive, the truck essentially turns in its own
length.
