Electric Forklift – E10
Electric Forklift – E10
The compact E10 electric forklift combines high manoeuvrability with a wide range of applications. With a load capacity of up to 1,000 kilograms, it is the smallest model in its series, but thanks to optimal weight distribution, it is suitable for a wide range of applications. Its short wheelbase, compact design with a width of only 828 millimetres and an ideal control concept enable stacking, transporting, order picking as well as loading and unloading in confined spaces. An automatic speed reduction in curves gives the E10 a high level of tipping safety.


With standard speed reduction depending on curve radius and lift height, the E10 is particularly tip-proof. Its canopy protects the driver from falling loads. Additional safety is provided by optional equipment such as the Linde BlueSpot and the Linde TruckSpot. With a warning sign projected onto the ground, they announce the approaching truck and thus warn people in the immediate working area. An optional warning flashing light, mounted underneath the driver’s protective roof, further improves the visibility of the E10 and helps prevent accidents at work.
- Automatic speed reduction
- Protective roof against falling loads
- BlueSpot™ and TruckSpot™ (optional)

The driver’s workplace of the E10 gives the driver enough freedom of movement and enables him to have the best view of the load and surroundings at all times. The optimal design of the operator’s workplace offers a high level of operating comfort, ensures high productivity and ensures fatigue-free working. The padded backrest ensures that the operator can adopt a comfortable position. The E10 can also be operated without changing hand positions. The elimination of tiring hand and body position changes puts the operator in a comfortable working posture. A low entry of only 120 millimetres in height on both sides of the truck facilitates access.
- High freedom of movement for optimal visibility
- Padded backrest
- Fatigue-free work without changing positions
- Low entrances on both sides
Simple and intuitive steering with components integrated in the front console makes the E10 particularly precise and efficient to operate. This, together with speed-sensitive steering, reduces the steering effort and thus the strain on the driver – especially in confined spaces. The narrow aisle width and small turning circle ensure optimal manoeuvrability and make the E10 ideal for use in confined spaces. The battery arrangement transverse to the direction of travel ensures ideal weight distribution and makes for particularly stable handling. As an option, an additional Dual Command control lever at the rear of the cab facilitates reversing. The driver keeps his left hand on the steering wheel and can control reverse travel with his right hand in a comfortable position. This allows driving forwards and backwards without major body rotation.
- Simple and intuitive operation

The first true zero-emission alternative! The X20 – X35 counterbalance trucks from Linde Material Handling are the first electric trucks that can be used as a true equivalent to IC engine-powered trucks due to their high performance and robustness. This means customers enjoy absolute freedom of choice and can opt for an emission-free, quiet alternative for even the most demanding applications without having to accept any loss of performance. The basis for this is the common platform developed by Linde for IC engine-powered and electric counterbalance trucks. As a result, the X20 – X35 trucks combine the best of both worlds: the characteristic performance and power development of IC engine-powered trucks with the dynamics, flexibility and zero emissions of electric trucks.

- All-round visibility from the driver’s cab
- Linde Curve Assist ensures tilt resistance in curves
- Linde Load Assist protects against tipping accidents
The comprehensive safety concept of the electric forklifts X20 – X35 protects operators as well as pedestrians and transported goods. The slim mast design, the narrow A-pillar and the lowered front plate provide the driver with a clear view of the load and surroundings. Even when loading and unloading at higher levels, he has a perfect view of the load through the roof construction. The low centre of gravity and the high steering axle ensure high tipping safety. In addition, the standard Linde Curve Assist reduces the speed when cornering and prevents the vehicle from tipping over. If the load is tilted too far forward during lifting, the Linde Load Assist, which is also integrated as standard, automatically intervenes in the vehicle functions and reduces the forward tilt and lifting speed depending on the lifting height. This function minimises the risk of accidents caused by falling loads.
- Spacious driver’s workplace with comfortable all-round visibility
- Ergonomic seat variants for individual comfort
- Operating elements can be reached without physical effort
- Decoupling of chassis, drive and mast ensures driving comfort even on uneven ground
The spacious, comfortable driver’s workplace and the ergonomic seat variants ensure an optimal driving experience and prevent tension and fatigue. Thanks to the large field of vision, the driver can easily keep an eye on the load and the surroundings at all times. He can operate the vehicle functions without high physical strain, as all central controls are arranged directly around him. The driving experience is pleasant and smooth, even on uneven ground. Due to the decoupling of the chassis via an elastomer ring bearing on the drive axle and further bearings of the mast and steering axle, significantly less vibrations and shocks are transmitted to the operator. This also has a noise-reducing effect, which reduces the overall physical strain on the operator and contributes to higher handling rates.
- Long wheelbase, large tyres and vibration-decoupled drive axle enable use in demanding environments
- New synchronous reluctance motor with water-cooled power modules offers consistently high performance even under extreme requirements
- Mast design and overhead tilt cylinders ensure safe load handling even when working at height
As new electric powerhouses, the X20 – X35 trucks can be used for the most demanding applications, even on uneven surfaces. This is made possible by the long wheelbase for electric forklifts and the large tyres in combination with the vibration-decoupled drive axle. Even dust and dirt, steep ramps, long distances and permanently high lifting and carrying capacities do not bring the new e-trucks to their limits. The key to this is the new synchronous reluctance motor with permanent magnets (SRM+) in combination with a new type of water cooling system that keeps the power modules in the optimum temperature range. This ensures consistently high performance even under extreme demands in multi-shift operation. The overhead tilt cylinders in combination with the torsion-resistant mast design also ensure a high residual load capacity and safe handling of loads between 2 and 3.5 tonnes even at great lifting heights.
- Low maintenance effort due to remote diagnosis and maintenance
- High vehicle availability
- Fast exchange of modular assemblies
All important vehicle information such as remaining driving time display, warning lights and operating hour can be seen by the driver at a glance on the standard 3.5-inch display. Text messages on the display guide the driver through simple maintenance processes. Firmware updates and fault diagnosis are possible remotely. This reduces the number of service visits and correspondingly lowers service costs. Maintenance and repair appointments are calculated on the basis of the permanently transmitted operating hours. Wear and any damage that may occur are identified at an early stage by remote diagnosis. This is possible, among other things, because the temperature sensor integrated as standard permanently analyses measured values such as oil temperature in relation to the ambient temperature. This prevents serious consequential damage. The mast or driver’s workstation are modular assemblies that can be replaced quickly and easily, which shortens downtimes for repairs.

- The use of wear-free components enables long maintenance intervals and minimises the effort required for maintenance work.
- A particular advantage is the hydraulic oil change, which is only necessary after an impressive 6,000 operating hours.
- In addition, the X35 – X50 allows software updates and fault diagnosis via remote access.
The X35 – X50 is characterised by its high operational availability, which is ensured by a robust, modular design and the use of wear- and maintenance-free components. These components include the two-motor front drive, the encapsulated power electronics and the lubrication-free tilt cylinders. This helps to ensure that the truck is reliable and durable even in demanding working environments. A major advantage is that the hydraulic oil intake filter does not need to be changed and the hydraulic oil only needs to be serviced after 6,000 operating hours. This minimises maintenance and maximises the truck’s uptime. Text messages on the truck display guide the operator through simple maintenance processes, making the truck easier to operate and maintain. In addition, remote access enables software updates and fault diagnosis, reducing the number of on-site service calls and cutting costs.

Electric Forklift – E60-E80
Electric forklift – E60-E80
The powerful E60 – E80 electric forklifts with a load capacity of 6.0 – 8.0 t are designed for efficient and safe handling of heavy loads. The trucks are driven by two powerful three-phase motors with maintenance-free brakes integrated into the compact axle. The electronic vehicle control and the precisely operable control elements such as the Linde Load Control and the double pedal control ensure perfect interaction between man and machine.


With loads of up to 8,000 kilograms, safety is a high priority. That is why the E60 – E80 electric forklift trucks already offer comprehensive safety features as standard to protect the driver, load and infrastructure from damage. The protective roof forms a robust protective zone with the frames of the driver’s cell. The nested lift mast profiles provide good visibility during load handling and the automatic parking brake ensures maximum safety even when working on the ramp. A redundant control system, electronic traction control and high residual capacities round off the safety aspects of the model range. The low noise level also contributes to operational safety. Furthermore, Linde offers numerous optional safety systems ex works and as retrofit solutions.
- Standard safety systems
- Protection of drivers, loads and surroundings
- Robust overhead guard and closed protection zone
- Visibility-optimised components and low noise level
- Numerous optional safety systems ex works and as retrofit solution
Efficient, largely fatigue-free work with a truck at the highest performance level requires a high level of operating comfort. That is why all control components of the E60 – E80 models are arranged directly around the driver and can be operated intuitively. The driver uses the double pedals to accelerate and change the direction of travel, while the control levers of the Linde Load Control integrated into the armrest are used to perform all mast movements sensitively with the fingers alone. This avoids unnecessary and physically stressful movements. The seat and armrest unit can be adjusted several times. In addition, the mast and axle are decoupled from the drive axle and driver’s cell by rubber bearings, so that shocks and vibrations are not transmitted to the operator.
- Ergonomic arrangement of the controls
- Efficient dual pedal control
- Sensitive control of the mast functions via Linde Load Control
- Individually adjustable armrest and seat unit
A prerequisite for the effective handling of heavy loads with the E60 – E80 electric forklifts is the perfect interaction of the powerful drive components with the operating concept, consisting of Linde Load Control and the double pedal control, which ensures the precise and fast control of all vehicle and lift mast movements. At the heart of the drive is the compact axle with two powerful, integrated three-phase motors, maintenance-free brakes and power components mounted directly on the axle. The trucks are equipped with Linde Curve Assist as standard. When cornering, the system adjusts the travel speed depending on the steering angle. The vehicle’s power development can be adjusted to the specific application requirements via three-stage adjustable driving dynamics.
- Automatische Geschwindigkeitsanpassung in Kurven
- Optimum matching of drive and control
- Precise dual pedal control
- Load handling with the fingertips
- Individually customisable driving dynamics
The completely enclosed travel and lift drive and the typical Linde protection of the electronic controls ensure great reliability of the electric forklift trucks. Water-cooled power components ensure high availability even under extreme conditions. The E60 – E80 models are characterised by long service intervals. The complete drive axle – including three-phase motors, reduction gears and oil-bath multi-disc brakes – as well as the mast and tilt cylinders are maintenance-free. General maintenance is required after every 1,000 hours of operation and the hydraulic oil needs to be changed after 6,000 hours. For smooth operation, the trucks are designed for easy access to maintenance parts.
- Long maintenance intervals
- Easy accessibility to all components
- Maintenance-free important parts
- Enclosed drives

Frequently asked questions about electric forklift trucks
The cost of an electric forklift truck depends on various factors:
The higher the load capacity of the electric forklift, the more expensive it usually is. In addition, various optional extras also have an impact. You can determine the individual price for a new truck with the help of our sales consultants.
The selection of the right drive concept always depends primarily on the intended use. Diesel forklifts and gas forklifts often come out on top when it comes to maximum operating time and moving loads to great lifting heights. However, there are premises and application profiles that require completely exhaust-free operation. In addition, electric forklifts have developed so well in the past that they are an absolute alternative to forklifts with combustion engines.
Forklifts with combustion engines are usually cheaper to buy. However, the overall picture is usually different:
Maintenance, servicing and repairs are distributed significantly differently in electric forklifts. Except for the drive battery, all parts in electric forklifts require less maintenance and are less prone to repair.
On the other hand, electric forklifts need charging stations, and older models that are not yet powered by lithium-ion batteries should always have a supply of battery water. As a rule, however, the maintenance costs of an electric truck are lower.
Although electric forklifts are less maintenance-intensive, they still need to be regularly checked, serviced and sometimes repaired. Maintenance is normally due every 1,000 operating hours. The supply of spare parts is good, especially for older models.
Batteries usually need to be replaced after about 6,000 operating hours. For technical reasons, lithium-ion batteries last longer if treated well and have the advantage that intermediate charging does not cause any “damage” to the battery.
Good reasons for Linde electric forklifts

Energy effectively managed
Electric forklift trucks from Linde feature an intelligent energy management system. It ensures that the vehicles get optimum driving performance and long availability from their drive batteries. This includes an accurate residual charge indicator, battery temperature monitoring and short charging processes. In addition, all Linde electric trucks are built in such a way that the electronic modules for controlling load handling and drive can be easily accessed and thus conveniently serviced.
Keyword compact axle
Linde’s compact axle drive integrates two powerful, maintenance-free three-phase motors with Linde’s typical double pedal control, maintenance-free oil bath multi-disc brakes and a lifting hydraulic motor. The unit, which is completely encapsulated against dust and dirt, offers active steering assistance and thus economical, safe, precise and absolutely jerk-free load handling. The compact axle not only allows high precision when moving loads, it also offers great energy efficiency.


Ergonomics for fatigue-free work
Linde electric forklift trucks are designed according to ergonomic findings for fatigue-free working. This means much more than generous foot space and adjustable seats. On the electric models, for example, the control elements for load handling are integrated into the armrest for back-friendly fingertip operation.
If required, the forklift models offer rotating operator workstations that minimise strain on the spine when reversing. The double pedal control avoids shifting feet when changing direction and the operator’s cab is specially insulated against engine vibrations.
Focus on active and passive safety
Linde’s electric forklift trucks are designed for maximum safety for the driver and those around him. Driver assistance systems such as the Linde Safety Pilot warn of overloading or excessive driving speed in relation to the load being carried.
Good all-round visibility, thanks to specially nested lift masts, increases the operational safety of the vehicles, as does the Linde Protector Frame. This specially designed driver protection zone against load falls results from the stiffened connection between the cab roof and cab frame.


Vehicles made to measure
No electric forklift truck from Linde is off the peg. In addition to standard equipment, each model comes with a choice of additional features. These include not only different load fork types, driver assistance systems or special cold store equipment, but also auxiliary hydraulics with which external attachments can be operated. A swivelling seat or external LED work lights are just as much part of the optional equipment as load guards, sun visors or the Linde BlueSpot warning light.
Technology is being driven forward
In the medium term, the trend in intralogistics is towards forklift trucks with electric drives. That’s why Linde Material Handling is driving forward all innovative technologies relating to this vehicle class. This applies, for example, to battery technology, the energy efficiency of the drives and the charging cycles of Linde electric forklift trucks and pallet trucks.
But the aspects of ergonomics, active and passive safety, and sustainability in the choice of materials are also permanently present in the designs of Linde’s engineers. This also includes topics such as networked fleet management and autonomous logistics vehicles.
