LINDE ELECTRIC PALLET TRUCK

Linde T20 Electric Pallet Truck: Efficient & Safe Pallet Handling

The Linde T20 electric pallet truck is a powerful and agile solution for fast, safe, and efficient horizontal movement of palletized goods. Engineered by Linde Material Handling, a leader in intralogistics, the T20 range is built for demanding daily operations, offering a blend of robust performance, advanced safety, and ergonomic comfort for the operator.

Features

• 2000 kg (2.0 Tonne) Lifting Capacity: Designed to handle standard palletized loads up to 2,000 kg (4,409 lbs), making it suitable for a wide range of applications from warehouse operations to retail delivery.
• Powerful AC Traction Motor: Equipped with a high-performance 24V AC motor (typically 1.2 kW to 3 kW depending on the specific model/series), providing strong acceleration, precise control, and efficient energy usage. AC technology means fewer wearing parts and reduced maintenance.
• Intuitive & Ergonomic Tiller Head: The ergonomically designed tiller head with wrap-around hand protection ensures comfortable and safe operation. All controls, including lift, lower, horn, and travel speed, are intuitively placed and can be easily operated with either hand, even when wearing gloves.
• Proportional Speed Control: The T20 typically features proportional speed control, allowing the operator to adjust travel speed smoothly and precisely according to the load, environment, and specific task, enhancing control and safety.
• Creep Speed Function: For navigating very tight spaces or delicate manoeuvres, a creep speed button allows the truck to move at a very slow, controlled pace with the tiller in an upright position.
• Robust Chassis & Durable Construction: The truck is built with a rugged, low-set chassis and a durable motor and battery compartment cover (often fiberglass-reinforced) that protects internal components and the operator's feet. High-quality components ensure longevity and reliability in tough working conditions.
• Advanced Braking System: The T20 incorporates a highly efficient electromagnetic brake system. Braking is automatic when the operator releases the traction butterfly control, moves the tiller to the fully up or down position (dead man's switch), or reverses direction, ensuring the truck slows down to a controlled stop.
• Safety Features:
  • Low Chassis & Rounded Contours: The low design and rounded chassis minimize the risk of foot injuries and help steer the truck away from obstacles.
  • Automatic Speed Reduction: The truck often automatically reduces speed when cornering (Linde Curve Assist) to enhance stability and prevent rollovers.
  • Emergency Belly Button: A prominent belly button on the tiller head acts as an emergency stop, instantly halting the truck if the operator is in danger of being pinned.
  • Optional Load Backrest: Prevents high loads from sliding backward onto the operator.
  • Optional Linde BlueSpot™: A visual warning system that projects a blue light spot on the ground in the direction of travel, silently alerting pedestrians and other forklift operators to the truck's presence.
• Battery Options & Management:
  • Typically uses a 24V lead-acid battery with various capacities (e.g., 250 Ah, 345 Ah, 375 Ah) to match application demands.
  • Lithium-Ion (Li-ION) battery options are increasingly available for newer models (e.g., T20 ION), offering advantages like faster charging, opportunity charging during breaks, longer lifespan, and maintenance-free operation.
  • A multi-function display provides essential information, including battery discharge indicator, hour meter, and maintenance alerts.
• Excellent Manoeuvrability: The compact design and effective electric power steering (on some models) enable the T20 to be easily manoeuvred even in the tightest of spaces, facilitating quick and efficient load handling.
• Low Maintenance: The AC motor is maintenance-free, and accessible components coupled with CAN-bus technology for easy diagnostics contribute to low service costs and high uptime.
• Operator Comfort (for platform models like T20 AP/SP/SR):
  • Foldable Stand-on Platform (T20 AP): Allows the operator to ride comfortably for longer distances, or fold the platform up for pedestrian-only operation in confined areas.
  • Fixed Stand-on Platform / Side Standing Position (T20 SP/SR): Provides a protected and comfortable stance, often with a padded backrest and fully suspended platform to reduce vibrations, ideal for continuous operation.
  • Optimal Visibility: Operators have a clear view of the fork tips and surrounding area.

Applications

The Linde T20 is a versatile workhorse essential for horizontal material transport in:

• Warehouses & Distribution Centers: Moving goods quickly and efficiently from receiving to storage, or from picking areas to dispatch.
• Retail & Supermarkets: Stocking shelves, moving pallets from back-of-house to sales floors, and handling deliveries.
• Manufacturing Facilities: Transporting components and finished products between production stages, storage, and loading docks.
• Loading & Unloading Vehicles: Especially effective for loading and unloading lorries and trailers, including in confined spaces.
• Cold Storage: Specific "cold store" versions are available, designed to operate reliably in temperatures down to -35°C.
• Order Picking Support: Moving picked orders to staging areas.
• General Logistics & Material Handling: Any environment requiring robust and efficient movement of palletized loads over short to medium distances.
