To rise to the business challenges of the future, you need to optimise how you use your energy today. That is why more and more companies are asking which energy system will best enable them to square productivity with environmental protection. The motto in intralogistics is: Maximise efficiency, reduce costs, increase sustainability.

From our many years of experience, we know that the “one size fits all” does not work. That is why we at Linde offer a comprehensive portfolio of different drives, batteries, chargers, and software tools, and tailor them to your individual goals. We provide expert consulting services to ensure that individual factors such as fleet size, network infrastructure, work processes, and production targets are taken into account.

Whatever the optimal solution for you is, be it a classic combustion engine, lead-acid battery, lithium-ion drive or fuel cell. With us, you get the best technology for your needs – for maximum performance and sustainability.

With optimal advice for the optimal solution

Every company has different requirements and expectations. That’s why Linde takes a holistic approach to energy consulting. We analyse where you’re starting from, taking into account aspects such as fleet, operations, infrastructure and sustainability goals, and focus on specific requirements rather than individual technologies or products.

We help you to choose the right drive system, support you with resource planning for your trucks, provide a tailor-made design of your energy infrastructure, and optimise your charging cycles. This brings a number of advantages:

  • Up to 40% reduction in energy costs
  • Optimisation of the availability of your fleet
  • Avoidance of power peaks in the power supply
  • A simplified charging process for your operators
  • Support in achieving your sustainability goals
  • Better use of your own energy sources

Overview of our energy systems

Li-ION technology

Lithium-ion batteries have a high energy density and deliver up to 30 percent more power than lead-acid batteries. They can be recharged at any time, which enables flexible 24/7 use without the need to change batteries. A multi-level safety system ensures maximum performance even under difficult conditions.

Fuel cells

Fuel cells convert hydrogen into electricity, without emitting any CO₂. The trucks can be refuelled quickly and easily, which guarantees maximum availability. Fuel cells are maintenance-free and therefore offer a long-lasting, reliable solution.

Find out more

Lead-acid batteries

Lead-acid batteries are a cost-effective and reliable energy system based on proven technology. Easy battery replacement makes the trucks ideal for round-the-clock operation. You are guaranteed to find the truck that best meets your requirements in our wide range of models.

Diesel engine

Our fuel-efficient diesel engines guarantee high handling capacities and maximum availability even under the toughest conditions. To reduce CO₂ emissions further, the trucks can be completely or partially powered by biofuels without additional conversion.

Gas drive

Gas-powered forklift trucks combine the power of an internal combustion engine with lower emissions. They are particularly quiet and provide a pleasant working environment. Owing to the lower exhaust emissions, gas forklifts are also suitable for indoor use. Depending on the model, they may be operated using either a propellant or natural gas.

Everything from a single source, everything from Linde

The integration of truck and energy system is a key factor in the energy efficiency and performance of forklift trucks and warehouse handling equipment. That is why we offer pallet trucks and stackers, tow tractors, reach trucks, electric forklift trucks, order pickers, narrow-aisle trucks, tugger trains, and our automated trucks with lead-acid and lithium-ion batteries and the associated chargers from our own development and production. It is also why we developed our own hydrogen technology and now manufacture the drive system for our pallet stackers and trucks, electric forklift trucks, tractors, order pickers and tugger trains with fuel cells.

Charge management

The connect:charger from Linde is an intelligent charge management system for electrically powered industrial trucks. It networks multiple chargers to monitor and coordinate current power consumption. The availability of the trucks in the overall process is largely decided at the charging station. However, charging several trucks at the same time can lead to peaks in consumption and thus to high costs. Linde offers an efficient solution with the connect:charger.

Energy at work

Electric forklifts in their element

First came one test machine, then another two were added, and the aim is that soon, the entire fleet of 8-tonners will be powered by environmentally friendly lithium-ion technology. At leading mineral water producers Gerolsteiner, the Linde E80 offers impressive proof that electric forklift trucks have no trouble matching up to their combustion-powered equivalents.

Unbeatable handling and zero emissions guaranteed

With the ultimate goal of electrifying their entire fleet in the future, the specialists at Liebherr have tested the E160 electric forklift truck in action over the course of several weeks.

An internal combustion stronghold converts to electric

It started with E and continues with X: the company Westfälische Drahtindustrie (WDI) is pushing for a switch from internal combustion to electric forklift trucks at its central German plant in Hamm. The Linde X50 puts in a convincing performance during the four-week field test, even with heavy loads.
