Modern industrial production depends on optimally coordinated processes. The flow of materials in production has thus become a decisive economic factor. With the LT08 – LT20 route and logistics hoists, Linde Material Handling offers solutions tailored to specific customer requirements to make synchronised material transports over longer distances in the company as efficient and flexible as possible. The route and logistics trains complement Linde’s portfolio of forklift and warehouse technology models and consist of tractors, each of which is combined with different trailer modules. They can be loaded with up to 2,000 kilograms per trailer module. Their use is worthwhile for internal transport distances of 150 metres or more.

Economical use from as little as 150 metres

The Linde logistics trains work economically because they can each pick up and move large quantities of material. This makes them ideal for use in clocked production.

The start-up lock on Linde logistics trains ensures safety. The trains cannot be moved until all load frames in the trailer modules are raised.

With up to 8,000 kilograms, the logistics trains move a lot of material per operation. This makes them a particularly economical variant in intralogistics.

Linde’s logistics hoists are also optionally available with suspension and a gentle lifting mechanism. This allows them to transport loads gently through the company.

As a workplace, Linde’s logistics trailers offer maximum comfort. The lifting mechanisms of the various trailers can each be operated with a foot sensor.

Route and Logistics Trains – LT06-LT20

The LT06 – LT20 logistics hoist series from Linde Material Handling is designed for bundled material transport indoors and outdoors and heavy industrial use. It has robust SE tyres and a lifting height of up to 200 millimetres. On up to six trailers, it is possible to transport loads of up to 8,000 kilograms. With the different frame variants and trailer types, the Linde Logistic Trains can be flexibly designed for specific production requirements. Thanks to the flat design of the C-frame trailers, it is also possible to transport long loads. The trailers are available as C-frame and U-frame as well as in platform design.

The Linde Logistic Trains move large material loads safely through production. All trailers are connected to the tractor by data cables and secured by a start-up interlock. The train can only be set in motion when the load on all trailers is lifted. The lifting device can be operated both on the tractor and directly on the trailer. The Logistic Train’s driving assistant automatically reduces the speed in curves.

The Logistic Train (LT) has a choice of extremely manoeuvrable 4-wheel steering or uncomplicated 2-wheel steering. Both variants are equipped with individually sprung castors. In the variant steered by four wheels, the special design of the trailers ensures good manoeuvrability, high directional stability and tight turning circles from 3.6 metres. The LT trailers can be adapted to all common container sizes. The bridge-type trailers are particularly advantageous, as they can be loaded and unloaded from both sides. A total of four trailer variants are available. The lifting function can be operated either on the trailer with the foot or via a control unit on the tractor. Lights on the tractor and trailer show the driver the position of the lifting mechanism on each trailer.

The trailers of the LT logistics train from Linde have maintenance-free lift motors for the loading device. The connection via a ball coupling drawbar is almost wear-free. The design on two axles with a central loading space results in easy access for trailer maintenance. Each trailer has special electronics that record all actions of the vehicle. The data can be read out and analysed with diagnostic tools.

Route and Logistics Trains – LT10-LT20

The LT10 – LT20 logistics hoist series from Linde Material Handling is designed for bundled material transport indoors and outdoors and heavy industrial use. It has robust SE tyres and a lifting height of 100 millimetres. It is possible to transport loads of up to 8,000 kilograms on up to six trailers. With the different frame variants and trailer types, the Linde Logistic Trains can be flexibly designed for specific production requirements. Thanks to the flat design of the C-frame trailers, it is also possible to transport long loads. The trailers are available as C-frame and U-frame as well as in platform design.

The Linde Logistic Trains move large material loads safely through production. All trailers are connected to the tractor by data cables and secured by a start-up interlock. The train can only be set in motion when the load on all trailers is lifted. The lifting device can be operated both on the tractor and directly on the trailer and is deactivated during travel. The Logistic Train’s driving assistant automatically reduces the speed in curves.

The Logistic Train has extremely manoeuvrable all-wheel steering. The full-suspension tyres and the special design of the trailers ensure good manoeuvrability, high directional stability and tight turning circles from 3.6 metres. The LT trailers can be adapted to all common container sizes. The trailers in hanger design are particularly advantageous. They allow loading and unloading of the roll racks from both sides. The optional and movable centre bar in the hoop trailer makes it possible to accommodate different container sizes in the same trailer. The lifting function can be operated both on the trailer by foot switch and via a control panel on the tractor. Illuminated direction indicators on the trailer and on the control panel show the user the next direction of movement of the lifting mechanism. During travel, the raised position of the load carrier is monitored.

Good reasons for Linde route and logistics trains

The key advantages of the Linde logistics trailers are their fast and precise handling and the flexibility with which the trailer modules can be quickly adapted to all types of goods transported in the company. Both can be used in the smallest of spaces with a minimal turning circle. All of Linde’s logistics trains work with versatile loading frames, some of them with lockable trolleys for the goods to be transported, which are raised by a lifting mechanism for transport and lowered again for unloading. This makes material transport with Linde logistics hoists effective, convenient and time-saving.

Flexible composition

The different and freely combinable trailers can quickly and easily transport all goods or container dimensions that are typically used in a company. They can be loaded with different roll racks, which are optionally available with locks.

Safety and ergonomics

The entire train is secured by a starting lock and cannot start moving unless all load frames are raised. The tow tractors have a driving assistant that automatically reduces the speed when cornering. All trailer modules of the Linde logistics trains are connected to each other and to the tractor via data cables. The driver can thus centrally operate the lifting function for all trailers from the driver’s cab. He is shown at a glance whether all load frames have been lifted for transport. However, each individual load frame can also be conveniently operated individually on the respective trailer by foot sensor. During the journey, the lifting function is deactivated and the load is electronically monitored so that dangers are actively avoided. All physical activities of the driver and operator are ergonomically optimised.

Precise control and easy handling

In order to be able to control the logistics trains as precisely as possible, the trailers are each equipped with four steerable wheels. This allows extremely small turning circles to be driven, for example in narrow spaces between production lines, even with four trailers. The wheels of the trailer modules of the Linde logistics trains, which are also available in a sprung version, are attached to technologically sophisticated tipping axles. This ensures that the loads are transported as gently as possible. A special trailer with a bridge frame allows the goods to be unloaded or loaded from both sides. All trailers have a precise and quiet lifting mechanism with which the moving load is lifted shock-free for transport. The lifting height can be flexibly adjusted.

Future built in

The future is already built into Linde’s logistics trains. In digitally controlled production processes, the demands on the precision and punctuality of material logistics continue to rise. Networked logistics concepts are in demand, in which machines, goods and transport systems communicate with each other to transport goods as efficiently as possible. The next step is logistics trains that move autonomously through plant halls and are controlled centrally via a powerful fleet management system. Linde’s logistics trains are already equipped with powerful sensors, actuators and controls, which can be used as a basis for implementing appropriate solutions.
