Vertical order picker

The N20 C D order picker has a robust chassis with rounded edges. The self-centring power steering requires only a slight turning of the steering wheel, reducing the operator’s movements within the operator’s platform. Speed is automatically reduced when steering. Three separate braking systems ensure safe braking to suit the environment and the load being transported: The service brake operates electromagnetically. In addition, a hydraulically assisted braking system adjusts to the load weight. In addition, Linde Brake Control enables automatic braking when the drive is released. Additional options such as front LEDs and Linde BlueSpot maximise safety.

Every driver can adapt the low-lift order picker individually to his or her needs: The Linde steering wheel and backrest are flexibly height-adjustable so that the driver can adopt a comfortable, gentle posture. The central controls are located directly on the Linde steering wheel, allowing the driver to reach and operate them intuitively with both hands. A cushioned platform with a non-slip rubber pad reduces the vibrations transmitted to the operator. Access to the operator’s platform has also been designed with ergonomics in mind: A wide design with low entry height facilitates frequent entry and exit on both sides.

Driven by a 3 kW three-phase motor, the order picker accelerates quickly up to 12 kilometres per hour. Either lead-acid or optional lithium-ion batteries ensure the optimum energy supply to suit the requirements of the fleet. With the intuitive operating concept of the new Linde steering wheel, the driver controls all travel functions as well as the first lift effortlessly and with millimetre precision. The mast control is conveniently located on both sides of the backrest. A liftable operator’s platform is available as an option for comfortable order picking on the first and second levels. Efficiency is also promoted by a clear multifunction display, numerous storage compartments on the vehicle and optional buttons on both sides for pedestrian operation.

The order picker ensures low maintenance requirements and only requires a service check after around 1,000 hours. The three-phase technology is completely maintenance-free. Brakes do not need to be readjusted. During maintenance, the service technician can easily remove the front panel to the engine compartment and has free access to all central components. All wiring harnesses and cables are clearly arranged for quick maintenance. The service technician can conveniently read out the vehicle data on his terminal via a CAN bus connection.

On the V08, the outer edge of the driver’s cab is slightly slanted upwards. This helps the driver to avoid missteps and provides additional safety, especially when the platform is raised. The driver’s platform of the V08-02 can be equipped with side rails, which also protect against falls and increase the driver’s sense of security. In the event of a collision, the robust chassis of the vehicles are equipped with metal bumpers and optionally with rubber reinforcement, which protect the driver and goods in the event of a minor collision. The vehicles can optionally be fitted with LED headlights and the Linde BlueSpot™ be equipped, which throws a blue point of light on the ground as a warning signal for pedestrians or other drivers in the direction of travel. The entire floor area of the operator’s station acts as a dead man’s switch. If the driver leaves the platform or presses the emergency stop button, the vehicle brakes automatically. When driving, the braking power is adapted to the current load weight and the speed in curves is automatically reduced to prevent tipping accidents.

• Raised outer edge for more surefootedness
• Metal or rubber impact protection
• LED front headlights and BlueSpot optional
• Platform floor as dead man’s switch

The V08 low-lift order pickers are equipped with the intuitively operated Linde steering wheel. It is height-adjustable to provide the driver with a back-friendly working position. The spacious operator’s platform with an entry height of only 14.5 centimetres facilitates frequent entry and exit. A non-slip rubber pad on the floor of the operator’s platform improves footing and prevents slipping accidents. The V08 has large storage compartments for working materials. Additional holders can be fitted to hold scanners, clipboards, film rolls and other utensils. The multifunctional colour display provides all important vehicle information at a glance.

The lifting platform of the V08 reaches a height of 1.2 metres so that the driver can also comfortably reach the second racking level. The Linde OptiLift lift mast control system simplifies handling with smooth, vibration-free lifting movements. Depending on the truck version, the V08s can reach a top speed of up to 10 km/h even with a load, thanks to the powerful 2.3 kW engine. The precise and self-centring power steering keeps the vehicle on track at all times. The butterfly controls for horn, lights, lift and all driving functions are integrated into the Linde steering wheel and can be used intuitively, even with just one hand. The V08-02 also has a walk-behind function: push buttons on the outside of the vehicle allow the order picker to be moved while the operator walks alongside it. This allows the vehicle to be manoeuvred back and forth comfortably without having to get back on for short distances. With the additional lift of the V08-02, the operator positions the pallet at the most comfortable working level.

A robust housing and several bumpers protect the chassis of the V08 in case of collisions. The stable, low-maintenance design of the order pickers ensures long maintenance intervals and thus ensures the high availability of the vehicles. Non-contact sensors do not wear out due to wear and tear and therefore rarely need to be replaced. For maintenance work, the CAN bus connection of the V08 ensures simple service processes: The service technician reads out the vehicle’s system data and analyses it for fast and precise troubleshooting via laptop. To enable service work to be carried out immediately, all important components of the vehicle are easily accessible. Cables and wiring harnesses are clearly arranged, which shortens the duration of maintenance work.

The driver must touch two hand sensors and a dead man’s switch to move the vehicle. This prevents misuse or operating errors. The electrically monitored side barriers must be closed from a platform height of 1.20 metres to be able to operate the vehicle. The vehicle automatically slows down when the cab is raised and when cornering. The optional Linde System Control (LSC) assistance system automatically and continuously regulates the speed depending on the steering angle and lift height.

Thanks to particularly simple and ergonomic controls, the driver can operate the V10 precisely and without fatigue. For picking operations, the cab offers plenty of space, it is suspended and protects the operator from vibrations. The low entry relieves the strain on the legs when getting in and out frequently. The low parapet to the forks facilitates movements between racks and pallets on the model with auxiliary lift. A variety of storage areas and equipment options such as radio preparation, fans, data terminal and goods scanner, mirrors or lighting support the operator in his work.

The V10 vertical order pickers have powerful three-phase motors for high lifting and travel speeds. In addition, the vehicles can drive and lift at the same time. This allows the operator to reach the desired rack location in the fastest possible way, saving time. With the two basic variants with walk-on platform or additional lift as well as the multitude of cabs, chassis and mast variants, the vehicles of the series can be configured very individually for every application. Thanks to this and the ergonomic operation, they always achieve high productivity. Economical electric motors and energy feedback during lowering make the operation more economical.

All vehicle components are easily accessible for the service technician. In addition, he can easily read out and check all data on the service laptop. A CAN bus connection is available for this purpose. The active cooling system improves the availability of the vehicle even under intensive working conditions. The encapsulated three-phase drives are maintenance-free. The battery is changed laterally via roller conveyors and a changing rack or with the help of a crane.

The vehicle can only be moved if the driver touches the sensors on the control unit with both hands and actuates the dead man’s switch in the footwell. This reduces the risk of operating errors as well as the risk of injury. The electrically monitored side barriers must be closed from a platform height of 1.2 metres for the safety of the driver. Optional scanners at the front and rear monitor the travel path and stop the vehicle if there are people or obstacles there. The service technician can set general travel, lift and lowering stops in the vehicle system to make collisions with ceilings or walls impossible. The specially designed mast allows for particularly good visibility and thus contributes to safe operation.

• Three-point control
• Electrically monitored side barriers
• Emergency lowering valve under the rear cover
• Presettable travel, lift and lowering stops
• Very good mast visibility

The vertical order pickers have an ergonomically shaped control panel and a spacious cabin. The floor of the spring-loaded platform has a soft mat that absorbs vibrations while driving or lifting, preventing fatigue. The edge of the cabin floor has a solid base instead of the mat, so that the operator stands safely during order picking. In addition, a low parapet facilitates the picking process. Optionally, the side cabinets tilt outwards to make it easier to reach into the rack.

• Ergonomic control panel
• Large cabin with rounded contours
• Suspension cab with anti-vibration mat
• Low parapet
• Many storage areas and equipment variants

High lifting and travel speeds as well as low energy consumption characterise the various three-phase AC motors of the vertical order pickers. The vehicles therefore quickly reach lifting heights of up to twelve metres, ultimately ensuring increased handling performance. At the same time, they have a high residual load capacity even at these heights. Effective order-picking processes are also ensured by the precise electric steering, which allows the vehicle to be manoeuvred easily and quickly.

• High lifting and travel speeds
• High residual load capacity
• Precise steering movements for fast manoeuvring
• Low energy consumption

The travel and lift motors of the vertical order pickers are encapsulated and thus comprehensively protected against dust and dirt. On the one hand, this prevents cost-intensive failures, on the other hand, users do not have to maintain the unit. The entire design of the vehicle is service-friendly: the central components are located behind a panel and can be easily reached. This also includes the CAN bus interface, with the help of which service technicians can read out and check all central data.

• Vehicle data can be read out via CAN bus connection
• Maintenance-free traction and lifting motors
• Easily accessible service components
• Protected motors

The safety of warehouse employees is the top priority when picking at higher levels. For example, the vehicle automatically reduces speed when the cabin is raised, thus preventing accidents. The doors are automatically locked so that they cannot be opened unintentionally. This guarantees that the operator remains protected inside the cab when the platform is raised and lowered. Sensors on both handles detect whether the operator is holding the control unit with both hands. The vehicle can only be moved if he also stands on the double foot switch. This reduces the risk of operating errors and injury. Warning lights and signal tones increase safety for employees around the vehicle during operation.

• Reduced speed with raised cabin
• Automatic door locking
• Sensors on both handles reduce the risk of injury
• Double foot switch as dead man’s switch

The efficiency of order picking depends to a large extent on the workload of the driver. That’s why the MV01’s working environment is designed with ergonomics in mind, including a spacious cab where the operator can work in comfort. All controls are positioned so that he can reach them effortlessly. The operator can electrically adjust the height of the loading platform for optimal visibility and safe placement of goods.

• Spacious cabin
• Easy accessibility of all control elements
• Electrically adjustable height of the loading platform for optimum visibility

Due to the stable construction, the platform can be raised up to three metres. This makes a gripping height of 4.6 metres effortless for the operator. The short overall length of only 1140 millimetres makes the small parts order picker easy to steer even in narrow aisles and curves. The easy manoeuvrability reduces the physical strain on warehouse staff and thus increases their productivity. The DC motor accelerates the vehicle up to 6.5 km/h. In addition, the vehicle can drive and lift at the same time. This allows the operator to reach the desired racking location in the fastest way possible. The integrated charger allows the lithium-ion battery to be charged during short breaks, so that the vehicle is available for the entire shift.
