Low-lift pallet trucks are among the most frequently used devices for pallets and other loads that can be moved underneath over short to medium distances. The new T14 to T20 models from Linde MH make maneuvering in tight spaces easier, by integrated lithium-ion technology shortened design made possible
The pedestrian-operated pallet jacks for load capacities between 1.4 and 2 tons are now also battery technology equipped Atloading and unloading stations, where there is usually a hectic mix of people and machines, every centimeter counts during deliveries in urban areas and on truck beds. Sometimes, the equipment needs to be extremely maneuverable, other times it needs to be as quiet as possible. However, high user comfort, optimal operator protection, operational reliability , and simple, cost-effective maintenance are always essential.
The more powerful Linde T16 and Linde T18 models, with liftingcapacities respectively, are primarily used for loading and unloading at loading stations. The Linde T20 model, with a lifting capacity of 2.0 t, is designed for more intensive tasks in industrial production.
The most noticeable change is the significantly shorter chassis of the Linde T14 and T16 models. This is thanks to the new, fully integrated lithium-ion battery. The reduced length (429 mm) makes the machine more maneuverable, lighter, and therefore even better suited for moving goods in narrow aisles or on tight loading ramps. With the optional integrated charger, charging can be done at any standard electrical outlet.

Thanks to the long, low-mounted tiller, the operator remains at a safe distance from the device during all loading and transport operations. A welcome feature: the vehicle's speed automatically adjusts to the tiller position: the steeper the tiller angle, the slower the vehicle. When the operator releases the tiller head, the electromagnetic brake automatically stops the pallet truck.
An optional creep mode provides additional control in challenging situations, while the standard power steering makes maneuvering easier. The low-profile chassis acts as a foot guard, preventing the operator's feet from getting caught underneath the vehicle during operation. An integrated "active foot guard"—a rubber sleeve with a sensor—detects even the slightest foot contact with the vehicle and stops it. This prevents feet from being trapped between the machine and an obstacle, wall, or other vehicle, thus improving safety.
protects the hands The by enclosing and shielding the fingers. All controls on the ergonomically optimized tiller head can be operated with one hand. Wide handles make it easier to work with gloves, for example, in cold storage facilities.
The exceptionally quiet engine, the equally quiet hydraulic pump, and special features such as triple cargo wheels keep vehicle noise below the critical threshold of 60 decibels; this makes them suitable for use in city centers during the evening and night hours. Special shock absorbers on the swivel casters compensate for shocks and vibrations.
