Handle heavy transports efficiently and easily
The W20 – W30 electric platform trucks from Linde Material Handling are perfect for the bundled transport of large quantities of material. With a payload of two (W20) or three tons (W30) and top speeds (without load) of 20 km/h (W20) and 23 km/h (W30) respectively, the vehicles operate on a high level of performance, agility, and precise maneuverability. Their smooth steering enables the driver to operate effortlessly in the tightest spaces. That makes the W20 – W30 ideal for sequence-compliant delivery in timed processes, such as material supply to production lines in the automotive industry. A cabin decoupled from the chassis as well as a drive axle equipped with coil springs instead of leaf springs prevents shocks and vibrations from being transmitted to the driver when driving on uneven ground. That avoids fatigue and allows concentrated work even during long shifts. The trucks can be powered either by lead-acid or lithium-ion batteries.
Characteristics
Safety
Safety is a top priority when transporting large loads. Therefore, the W20 – W30 platform trucks are equipped with several braking systems. The driver activates the multi-disc brake via the foot pedal. This braking system enables extremely sensitive, yet very powerful deceleration at the same time in order to protect the load being carried and to stop the vehicle immediately in dangerous situations. In addition, an automatic parking brake prevents the vehicle from rolling unintentionally on slopes and is released when the tractor is accelerated again. When driving downhill, the W20 – W30 automatically maintain their speed and the weight of the transported goods does not accelerate the truck. In curves, the speed is automatically adjusted. The robust cabin with optional protective windshield bars and an optional seat belt protects the driver from being harmed in case of an accident. Additionally, the cabin doors are electrically monitored and prevent the driver from driving faster than creep speed when the doors are not properly shut. A lateral battery change allows for easy and safe handling of heavy traction batteries.
- Automatic parking brake
- Constant speed when driving down on ramps
- Speed control in curves
- Robust cabin with protective bars for windshield
- Electrically monitored cabin doors
Ergonomics
The W20 – W30 platform trucks offer maximum driving comfort and reduce fatigue during work. The decoupling of cabin and chassis and the coil springs on the drive axle prevent vibrations and shocks from being transmitted to the driver and thus minimize physical strain. The large, curved windshield and multiple door options provide unobstructed visibility in all directions, allowing the driver to keep an eye on the surroundings with minimum effort, even during difficult driving maneuvers. The spacious driver’s compartment offers ample room for relaxed working. Work utensils can be conveniently stowed in storage compartments and nets.
- Spacious driver’s cabin decoupled from chassis
- Shock absorbers instead of leaf springs
- Clear view
- Space for work utensils
Handling
Depending on the model of platform truck, the W20 – W30 can transport two (W20) to three tons (W30) of load on their loading areas. The powerful electric motors ensure high handling capacities. Thanks to their compact size and precise power steering, the trucks are nevertheless effortless to steer. Above all, their small turning circle predestines the W20 – W30 for transport through narrow paths in production halls and warehouses. An optional double mirror ensures that the driver has a complete view of the vehicle even during difficult maneuvers. One of the two mirrors shows the rear, the other one the front wheel, to reduce the risk of collision damage.
- Powerful electric motors
- Small turning circle
- Smooth and precise steering
- Optional double mirrors
Service
As platform trucks, the W20 – W30 are designed for minimum service and downtime. The multi-disc brake and control hydraulics are dust-tight and therefore do not need to be cleaned or serviced. All service components are easily accessible. For smooth and fast battery replacement, access to the battery compartment is possible from either the top or the side. But also with the lateral change variant, the top cover of the battery compartment can be opened for maintenance work. The bolted front windshield can be replaced in a few easy steps.
- Easily accessible service components
- Maintenance-free multi-disc brake
- Easily replaceable windshield
- Lateral or vertical battery change selectable
