The new pallet truck Linde MT12, together with the pallet stackers Linde MM10, MM10i and ML10 added to Linde Material Handling light range.
The trucks are said to come into their own when, for example, transporting goods over short distances for only two to three hours a day, when a pallet needs to be stored occasionally, or when they are taken along on heavy trucks to cover the last mile.
“Sometimes all you really need is a simple industrial truck to carry out certain logistics tasks,” says Toufik Oussou, product manager warehouse trucks at Linde Material Handling. “But even with equipment that on the face of it seems relatively simple, ergonomic and safety aspects should never be compromised. We at Linde Material Handling attach great importance to this.”
The electric pallet truck Linde MT12 with a maximum load capacity of 1.2 tons is the first of the newly added models. Having extremely compact dimensions, the MT12 is ideally suited for work in confined space and truck holds. The versatile assistant is easy and convenient to use: A 0.65 kW AC motor ensures that all maneuvers can be carried out without exertion of force. A lithium-ion battery supplies the truck for up to three hours, giving it plenty of power during this time. Thanks to the plug and play Li-ION battery it is very easy and convenient for the operator to replace the battery and/or plug it into the charger supplied along with the truck. It takes only 30 minutes to restore 50 percent of the charge, and after two and a half hours the battery is full.
The MT12 comes with numerous safety features, including an electromagnetic brake and a low-mounted long tiller, which secures adequate safety distance between user and vehicle.
