A 48-V lithium-ion battery with either 20 Ah or 30 Ah provides sufficient power for up to three hours of work. The new pedestrian-operated low-lift truck from Linde MH recharges using the built-in on-board charger from any suitable power outlet.
The applications for low-lift trucks in this weight class are as diverse as the demands placed on them. Combined with even more convenient operation and enhanced safety features, the MT 15 the ideal assistant for loading and unloading trucks, last-mile deliveries, short transport runs in industrial applications, or goods handling in supermarkets and shops. Operators should be able to transport loads quickly and safely, confined
"With the new Linde MT15, we are launching a simple machine that continues to have all the key features of the Linde DNA, such as quality, safety, comfort, and performance," says Product Manager Toufik Oussou.
To enable maneuverability in tight spaces, the truck has been designed for a more compact footprint. The chassis length (dimension L2) is 400 mm , the overall width (dimension B1) is 620 mm , and the total weight of 180 kg allows for use in mezzanines or on lifting platforms. With a maximum travel speed of 5 km/h with a load (5.5 km/h without a load ), the truck is faster than many others in this class. Its climbing ability is also above the market average: the Linde MT15 achieves 8 percent when loaded and 20 percent when unloaded.
Occupational safety was a top priority . The truck features a long, low-mounted tiller, which creates a large safety distance between the operator and the vehicle while driving. With the tiller in the vertical position, the forklift's creeper function allows it to move at low speeds. This is particularly helpful when maneuvering on truck beds and in tight production and warehouse areas.
the tiller head protects the operator's hands. The center panel houses the easily accessible switches for direction, initial lift, creep speed, and the horn, as well as the safety impact button. The deep-drawn chassis prevents foot injuries and damage to the load wheels. A multifunctional display provides information on operating hours, maintenance due, battery status, and error codes.
Robust drive and load rollers in various designs, as well as sturdy bumpers, prevent premature wear. The battery management system protects against improper use and thus extends the life of the battery.
