Innovation has been part of Linde’s DNA for more than a century. That’s why every Linde is designed for efficiency and engineered to perform like no other new forklift on the market. From stationary engines and tractors, to specialised transport vehicles, and through over 50 years of new forklift design leadership, we’ve delivered performance, durability and total cost of ownership economy. In that time we’ve developed a complete range of material handling equipment, taken hydrostatic drive to an unrivalled level of efficiency, set new benchmarks for electric forklift performance and recently unveiled our first fuel cell forklifts.
It’s not just innovation. It’s Linde evolution at work.
