Linde Material Handling (UK) Ltd.


Steering Wheel N 20 C

The ergonomic steering wheel on Linde’s N 20 C is a simple, neat ‘butterfly’ design where controls for lift, traction and horn can be operated from both sides using thumbs and forefingers. This layout ensures an ergonomic and safe driving position where operators are automatically looking in the direction of the fork arms when activating the main lift, a crucial factor for safety.VISIT WEBSITE

Hyster Europe


Hinged elevating operator cabin for Hyster® RS46 ReachStacker

The hinged elevating operator cabin option on the Hyster® RS46 helps terminals handle containers on the second rail, reducing damage and improving efficiency. Operators have direct visibility of the top corner pockets on second rail containers even with a container on the first rail. Previously, cameras or staff had to direct operators, slowing operations and increasing costs.VISIT WEBSITE

Electric Front and Rear Wheel Drive Combination

Combilift’s internationally patented electric traction provides the multidirectional forklift with independent front and rear wheel drives. By inputting the wheel-base parameters, the traction commands are calculated by the control system. The other unique feature of this innovation is 100% traction control, therefore negating the need for a differential lock on slippery surfaces.
