![]() ![]() Unlike standard forklifts, the Linde forklift’s counterbalance weight is molded and incorporated throughout the forklift’s frame to allow for increased unit stability while eliminating bulky hanging counterweights in the rear of the forklift. The benefits do not stop there… the frame and body of the Linde forklift is designed and built for maximum efficiency. In addition to the belly pan, shock-mounting interior components protects them against road shock damage as well as carriage and chassis vibrations, again extending forklift life. Having the seam-welded full belly-pan allows for the belly-pan to act as a skid plate which protects vital components and fortifies the forklift’s frame as a whole. Again, no standard brakes, clutches, or torque converters to worry about replacing or maintaining.Ĭoupled with the sealed and pressurized drive system are the seam-welded full belly-pan construction and shock mounted components. ![]() The reversing flow of the hydraulic fluid in turn changes the direction of travel. When operators release their foot off of the acceleration pedal, the forklifts immediately begin to come to a stop as the hydrostatic drive tilts interior swash-plates in the opposite direction of travel and reverses the flow of hydraulic fluid. In addition, the elimination of traditional brakes means that coasting of any kind is not possible. Unrivaled truck control directly correlates to higher driver productivity which in turn reduces operator stress and error-rate levels. The hydrostatic drive eliminates the need for standard friction brakes, clutch packs, or torque converters and allows for infinite speed control. Having the engine RPM cap of 2,100 RPM allows for fantastic fuel efficiency, even in the most demanding operational environments. ![]() The setup of this system allows for the hydrostatic drive to power forklift acceleration up to 7 MPH at only 1,050 RPM and then anything beyond 7 MPH, the engine takes over acceleration while still only revving to a maximum of 2,100 RPM. The Linde hydrostatic drive unit is a completely sealed and pressurized hydraulic system that allows for maximum performance with minimum maintenance. With the implementation of the hydrostatic drive, Linde has been able to develop one of the most advanced forklift drive systems in the world. Perhaps one of the things that Linde is most well-known for, the Linde Hydrostatic drive unit, has absolutely no other competitors on the market. There are some differences between the 396 series and the 1401 series, other than capacity, but this article will review some of the features and benefits that both of these series of forklifts share and how they can save a commercial or heavy industrial application more time, money, and frustration than any other forklift brand on earth. ![]() Although every Linde made product blows away all competition in terms of functionality, efficiency, and quality, the large pneumatic series’ of forklifts, are the sweet spot if this particular manufacturer. The pneumatic Linde forklift is in a category all of its own. Posted on Updated on Linde 1401 and 396 Series Forklifts ![]()
