High throughput rates and particularly safe handling processes in the smallest of spaces – no problem with our narrow-aisle trucks. Linde Material Handling has comprehensively designed its high-rack stackers and vertical order pickers to meet the challenges of narrow aisles. This includes powerful travel and lift motors that allow the forklift to accelerate and lift at the same time, so that the desired position in the rack is reached quickly.

At the same time, Linde System Control regulates lifting and travel speed depending on the load weight, thus optimizing performance depending on the travel situation. Other optional assistance systems from Linde protect against accidents and help with fast navigation through the warehouse. Energy feedback when braking and lowering the load saves energy costs and increases availability. The load capacity ranges up to 1.5 tons, depending on the model and configuration.

Narrowly built pacesetter

Narrow aisle truck – A

The high-rack stacker A from Linde Material Handling stands for high handling performance in particularly narrow aisles. This is ensured by a modern drive that achieves high lifting and travel speeds even at maximum lifting heights. In addition, the truck can accelerate and lift at the same time. Equally important are the large residual capacity and various camera and assistance systems. They help, for example, with navigation in the warehouse, protect against accidents or facilitate fast handling at great heights. The narrow-aisle truck A has a modular design. Motors, batteries, lift masts, chassis and much more are individually assembled by the customer for his application.

The sideways seating position offers optimal visibility, both when driving forwards and in reverse. The driver can keep an even better eye on the load at great heights with the optional fork camera and cross-line laser. The systems facilitate load handling on the upper racking levels and reduce the risk of accidents. The optional Dynamic Reach Control (DRC) intelligently adjusts the reach to the current load weight and reduces lateral mast sway during storage and retrieval. These features increase safety and handling performance. A service technician can programme travel, lift and lowering stops. Unintentional lifting or lowering of the load during travel is thus prevented. The aisle safety assistant, available as an optional extra, uses RFID tags or barcodes to determine its horizontal position in the aisle, then reacts to uneven floors or obstacles on the racking or ceiling and adjusts the lift height and speed accordingly. The personal protection system (PSA), which is also optional, uses sensors at the front and rear to detect whether there are people or objects in the travel path and stops the vehicle.

The driver operates the lift axle effortlessly with an ergonomically shaped multifunction joystick. The large cab, the seat with many adjustment options and the intuitive arrangement of all controls ensure driving comfort. Because of the lateral seating position, the driver has a good view in every direction, avoiding strenuous body turns. A soft, non-slip floor mat and an optionally available air-suspended seat ensure that fewer jolts and vibrations are transmitted to the driver. A colour display shows all information at a glance.

Even at great lifting heights, the high-rack truck reaches high speeds with its drive technology. In addition, many assistance and camera systems are available for handling at great heights – for example, the automated fork cycle. At the push of a button, the truck automatically performs three manual movements when storing or retrieving a pallet. Via RFID technology, the vehicle can be integrated into a comprehensive warehouse navigation system. In this way, the driver finds the desired pallet position very quickly or vehicle functions are controlled depending on the location. Depending on the requirements, the forklift can be equipped with a swivel fork or telescopic fork.

Combined workers in the narrow aisle

Narrow aisle truck – K

The Kombi vehicle K from Linde Material Handling enables high handling performance in order-picking and handling processes in high-bay warehouses. This is made possible by powerful drives: the vehicle accelerates and lifts at the same time. In addition, the travel speed remains high even at high lift heights and a large residual load capacity is available. Various assistance systems are available to help navigate precisely through the warehouse or avoid obstacles. Last but not least, Linde System Control improves handling performance: depending on the version, the system adapts lifting, travel and auxiliary movements to the transport weight and lifting height. Several versions are available for the mast, chassis, battery and cab of the narrow-aisle truck, which can be combined according to the application requirements. Thus, about 10 million vehicle configurations are possible.

The driver must touch three points, otherwise he cannot move the combi vehicle: the hand sensors on the control panel as well as the dead man’s switch on the cabin floor. This prevents incorrect operation, which can lead to accidents. The driver’s safety is additionally ensured by electrically monitored side barriers, which must be closed from a platform height of 1.2 metres. The optional personal protection system continuously scans the narrow aisle and stops the vehicle if there are people in the vicinity. Further safety is provided by an optional aisle safety assistant that detects unevenness marked with RFID tags or barcodes, obstacles in the racking, on the floor or on the ceiling and automatically limits travel and lift speed, lift height or fork extension at these points. Service technicians can flexibly programme general travel, lift and lowering stops in the vehicle system. The “Linde System Control” assistance system – in the Standard, Load and Weight variants – supports the driver with speed adjustments and optimised travel behaviour depending on lift height, load detection and load weight.

The new control panel has an ergonomic shape. In addition, its position can be precisely adjusted with three axes – for example, for comfortable work while standing or sitting. The driver can also adjust the height and inclination of the folding seat. The colour display of the control panel shows all important information such as time, speed, lift height and steering angle clearly at a glance.For the large and draught-protected cab, many storage options are available to make work easier. The chassis and cab are decoupled from each other so that less vibration reaches the driver. A tilt barrier is available as an option. It folds outwards when the driver leans against it. This reduces his distance to the racking and makes order picking easier.

The modern drive technology of the combination vehicle generates a high travel speed even at high lifting heights. Added to this are a high residual load capacity and modern RFID assistance systems, which make navigation in the warehouse and handling at the racking faster. When using the Linde Connect fleet management system, it is also possible to optimise the entire usage cycle of the vehicles. Additional handling support is provided by functions such as automatic lift height preselection or the automatic fork cycle. Here, the vehicle automatically performs three movements when retrieving a pallet at the push of a button. In the new version of the K, the main and auxiliary lift can be raised or lowered simultaneously. This allows the driver to move to high racking compartments in one step, for example, without having to operate the main and auxiliary lift in succession. The forks can be positioned much more quickly and are particularly easy to control to the individual comfort height. The energy generated during braking and lowering is fed back into the battery. This improves the operating time and economy in equal measure.

Functional logistics robot

Automated vehicles – K-Matic

The autonomously driving K-MATIC high-bay truck from Linde is designed for loads of up to 1,500 kilograms and lifting heights of up to twelve metres. Intelligent geonavigation safely controls the K-MATIC without additional tracks in the floor or laser reflectors in all common narrow-aisle applications. Whether as a stand-alone unit that autonomously processes defined process steps or as part of a centrally controlled fleet of robotic vehicles – the high functionality of the K-MATIC enables high handling performance even in complex application requirements. In the process, the vehicle interacts seamlessly with the customer’s infrastructure such as conveyor belts or packing stations. As an autonomous logistics vehicle, it causes less damage to loads and pallets, making it especially suitable for handling particularly valuable goods. Easy and quick to maintain, the robotic vehicle is reliably operational around the clock and can also be manually operated by a driver at any time.

With its on-board safety system, the K-MATIC self-steering truck reacts sensitively to its surroundings. Thanks to the laser and camera-based safety equipment, which is independent of the navigation technology, the K-MATIC steers safely through the operating environment and reliably detects people and other obstacles. The self-propelled narrow-aisle truck is also equipped with several emergency stop buttons as well as warning tones and flashing lights.

All-round monitoring of the working environment
Combined security technology with lasers and cameras
Audible and visual warning systems

The K-MATIC automated narrow aisle truck is controlled via the Supervisor software, which optimally coordinates the orders and routes of all MATIC vehicles used. The system is compatible with common warehouse management and ERP systems and translates the required goods movements into driving orders. The 3D pallet recognition with integrated distance monitoring ensures smooth storage and retrieval processes in the racking. In addition, the laser and camera-supported safety system ensures that the narrow-aisle truck also moves in areas with normal operating traffic without losing much time. Thus, the monitored areas around the truck are adjusted in real time depending on travel speed and curves. If the truck stops because an obstacle has been detected, it automatically continues the operation as soon as the way is clear again. Changes in the operational environment can be remapped in a short time by laser measurement and imported into the system.

All essential vehicle and job data can be called up on the vehicle via a 7″ LCD touch display and read out via USB. By entering a PIN, the technician activates the service mode and can safely perform the necessary maintenance work on the easily accessible components. Maintenance-relevant vehicle data is transmitted wirelessly and evaluated via diagnostic software. This enables predictive maintenance – wear and minor damage are detected at an early stage and necessary inspection breaks and parts changes are calculated and planned. This ensures maximum availability of the autonomous vehicle.

Good reasons for Linde narrow aisle trucks

Maximum performance in high-bay warehouses

Narrow-aisle trucks from Linde Material Handling enable exceptional speed in load handling: With an assumed rack height of seven meters, they process up to 30 pallets per operating hour – significantly more than counterbalance or reach trucks. One of the key factors here is that the forklifts accelerate and lift at the same time. For example, a pallet at a great height can be moved particularly quickly in diagonal motion and at consistently high speed.

More comfort thanks to better overview

In order to be able to transport as many goods as possible in the shortest possible time in the narrow aisle, VNA forklifts from Linde use various assistance systems as well as the optional Linde warehouse navigation. This system supports the driver and shows him the exact storage position for a product on the display. All he has to do is activate the drive function and he reaches his destination with pinpoint accuracy.
Alternatively, various positioning aids are available, such as camera systems that simplify handling at great heights, or the automated fork cycle. Here, the vehicle automatically executes three movements at the push of a button when storing or retrieving a pallet. Linde System Control detects whether a load is on the fork and automatically starts the corresponding movement cycle.

More safety for all

Narrow aisles are difficult to overlook from the vehicle. That’s why Linde high-rack trucks feature numerous safety elements that minimize the risk of accidents for the driver and other employees. For example, the optional aisle safety assistant (GSA) triggers targeted travel commands so that the truck slows down in the event of uneven floors or limits the maximum lift height in the event of obstacles such as ceiling beams. Work safety is ensured by the fact that the operator must operate the control unit with both hands and a dead man’s switch in the seat or on the cab floor. to move the vehicle.

Healthy workplace

The narrow aisle truck provides the operator with an ergonomic workstation: All controls are ergonomically designed and easy to reach, control is effortless with multi-axis levers, and there are many storage options. They make it easier to work in the spacious cab. Various mirror and camera systems improve the all-round view. The operator thus avoids strenuous body movements.

Customized narrow aisle truck

A huge selection of modules is available for Linde’s VNA trucks – for example, different engines, batteries, chassis, cabs and masts. The desired load capacity, handling performance or lift height determines the choice. The cab interior can also be configured as desired with attachments, alternative controllers and seats, or a closed cab for cold storage. In the end, the customer has a custom-fit solution for very many hours of operation.
