Joysticks

Every millimetre counts
Linde Load Control joysticks

Joysticks need to be intuitive, comfortable and extremely sensitive to operate because they are effectively an extension of the forklift operator’s arm. The co-ordination between hardware and software and the interaction of multiple components creates precise operation of the truck.

Benefits of joysticks in Linde quality

Precise

Linde joysticks operate with a precise, linear, and defined electrical output signal that is monitored by the controller. This means that the relevant output signal is at the same actuation angle, regardless of the direction of movement of the joystick, i.e., raising/lowering or leaning the mast forward/back. The mast reaction is always proportional to the joystick's actuation angle, enabling intuitive operation and maximum safety whilst maintaining an efficient operation.

Comfortable and reliable

Linde joysticks have standard features across the range. As the joystick does not have a "dead zone," the work hydraulics always react immediately to the displacement of the joystick, i.e., the joystick movement also controls the mast movement and have an identical maximum actuation angle. These standard features mean that operators don’t need to make adjustments when operating different Linde models and reduces the risk of damage by unexpected machine reactions.

Additional safety features

Safe connector plug

Linde joysticks have a connector plug, making it practically impossible to connect the cables incorrectly or accidentally connect them to the wrong poles.

Redundant design

Linde provides a redundant design for all safety-related components. Even the joysticks have a two-channel output signal via signal voltage and reference voltage, with both being monitored by the Linde controller. This ensures that the mast only reacts when the joystick is actually moved. The system also detects and reports deviations in signal linearity. For operators, this means maximum safety and ease of use.

High moisture protection

The terminal board and soldering points of the Linde joystick are sealed with extremely high moisture protection in accordance with the IP67 standard.

Durable and cost-effective

The benefits of original manufacturer parts are particularly pronounced with regard to service life and cost-effectiveness: The high-quality materials used for Linde joysticks mean that they are designed for about six million actuations. While original manufacturer quality spare parts are generally more expensive, the exponentially longer service life more than compensates for these costs.
