9 Man-up K range. High precision for maximum productivity Linde has developed an exclusive and innovative technology to ensure perfect control over the performance of its K trucks. A standard man up truck is unable to distinguish whether it carries a load or not and, thus, needs to slow down when lifting in order to guarantee stability. Linde s K trucks, however, are equipped with specific sensors. Thanks to the Linde System Control (LSC), the optimal velocity of a K truck is actually calculated in real time according to the weight of the transported load. This means the truck only slows down when it is really carrying load. That electronic and responsive monitoring system enables the operator to always achieve maximum productivity while accelerating, decelerating and placing loads. Depending on the operating conditions and on the respect of safety practices, K trucks equipped with LSC can deliver up to 30% higher performance. 3 Different features are available with LSC: load recognition (to detect whether the truck carries goods or not and to optimize the lifting profile), load sensor (to optimize driving profile and lifting functions) and weight and load recognition (to adapt the driving and lifting profiles to the actual transported weight). 3 The overall benefits of LSC are a dramatic increase in safety, higher load throughput and less damage to trucks and goods. 3 To ensure an even higher level of productivity, K trucks are equipped with a height pre-selection function, as well as an automatic fork cycle system allowing faster and safer load handling.

10 K range. The easiest and safest way to operate a man-up VNA truck Linde s man-up trucks provide the highest standard for comfort, safety and reliability. We are a driver-focused manufacturer: the first time an operator takes control of a K truck, he feels immediately at ease. That is because we strongly believe the more comfortable, functional and enjoyable the truck is, the more relaxed and efficient the operator will be. Linde s K trucks offer an ergonomic design, with several seat options (folding, heated, adjustable, air suspension, armrests...) and five different cabin versions ensuring greater freedom of movement (including a cold store cab for comfortable operation in environments with temperatures down to -30 C). The control panel was designed to be safely and intuitively operated, with an easy PIN code or key access, touch sensors to ensure a safe two-handed operation, well organized display, steering options (knob or wheel). In order to guarantee perfect safety for the working staff in very narrow aisles, the truck can be equipped with Personal Safety Equipment which is displayed on the operators control panel. Along with LSC for velocity and stability control, K trucks benefit from two braking systems: one electric regenerative brake is activated when the operator s hand releases the accelerator or changes direction; the other is a two-stage electromagnetic spring-loaded parking and emergency brake operating on the motor shaft. Linde s K range benefits from exceptional reliability, and requires very little servicing and maintenance. The GPRS optional service is an online diagnosis feature that lets the truck directly report via SMS to a technician in the event of malfunction. This system ensures faster repair or spare parts exchange, thus guaranteeing maximum availability of the trucks. Battery replacement is made easy and flexible using a forklift or a roller bed.

14 Order picker. Man and machine in perfect harmony Easy access. The low step height provides easy access to the operator s platform, a generously dimensioned space that offers an optimal and comfortable working position, with upholstered backrest and excellent visibility. Storage. Linde s order picker range has an impressive array of features designed to simplify the driver s life. For instance, the platform integrates several storages spaces allowing easy access to documents or other items necessary to carry out the task. The low console also makes it very easy to position the picked goods on the pallet. And so that the operator doesn`t have to keep bending, the pallet can be raised or lowered to the most convenient height using the trucks supplementary lift. Comfort and safety. Our order picker are designed to avoid vibrations. The driver s platform is suspension mounted. That enables it to absorb shocks and to guarantee a safe and comfortable workplace throughout the shift. It also protects the load from damage. Even more comfort is provided by the soft floor-covering on which the driver is standing. Intuitive control console. The organization of our order pickers self-explanatory control console has been carefully thought out. A clear function display provides instant information on the vehicle status: operating hours counter, battery charge level, steering and truck position...
