Thread: Linde Forklifts a little different .

Linde fork lifts are arguabaly the better operating system for continuous warehouse use because once you get used to the operating system they are easy to use. The real problem arises when there are two types of operating systems on the one site, Linde and Hyster. After you get off a Linde onto a Hyster there is a real possibility of going through a wall!! Only those who have used both forks will know what I am on about!!!
All in all, they are a great toy to play with at work are'nt they??

Fixing the things and paying for the parts is a different story.
The smallest parts can cost thousands on a linde.

They are a great forklift . No real blind spots and turn on a 5 cent piece . I look forward to driving it everyday .

Hey, don't worry about the controls, my work has swipe card forklifts.
A real PITA when you constantly have to get off an on them to do stuff and they won't start until you swipe them. They have a engine cut out that times for 20secs, often you just miss it by a second and @$%$#$
It's for safety, but a real pain. They monitor the user and if you exceed the speed limit then they record the user number.
They also have daily maintenance checks where the operator has to answer questions on a touch pad.. You can't cheat because as the Y/N button changes every time. The blokes just press ok to everything.
So if there is a basic maintenance problem like low on water or oil, then the driver who swiped the card is the culprit

Hey Mick
You should try jumping on the backhoe after driving the 20T excavator or vise versa Levers work opposites,your first few movements are very gentle,especially if you are in the excavator 6m above the truck you are loading.

At work ours are speed limited depending on where you are . they have a sensor mounted on the roof so when you go through a door it cuts the speed back to walking pace around populated areas . But outside they are not much faster .

You've worked at Carter Holt?

We have a 4.5 ton and a 3 ton Linde at the timber company I work for, and they are awsome.
Ours have the controls on the end of an arm rest where you rest your right arm, been using them for a few years now, and they are the best things.
Ive driven literally hundreds of forks and once you get the hang of these, you wouldnt drive another one.

But have to agree on the service and parts back up, it is a real let down to put it mildly.

enjoy the fork Fusion, they are a good thing.



Just dont use the centre pedal as a brake to slow you down, like on other forks.......It would be bad !!
