Logistic trains

Modular, Flexible, and Cost-Effective

Modern industrial production is dependent upon processes being perfectly coordinated to deliver material to the assembly lines on time and in the correct order. As a result, material flow during manufacture has become a decisive profitability driver. With the logistic train frames LT10 – LT20, Linde Material Handling provides tailor-made solutions to specific customer requirements in order to achieve synchronized transport of material over long distances within the company premises as efficiently and flexibly as possible. The logistic trains complement Linde's portfolio of forklift trucks and warehouse handling equipment, and comprise tow tractors that can each be combined with different trailer modules in order to transport load carriers with rollers or pallets They can be loaded with up to 2,000 kg per trailer module, and are ideal for internal transport distances starting at 150 m since they transport larger loads more quickly. The cost-effectiveness of Linde logistic trains arises from the standardization of the material flow, increased safety for personnel and materials, and the variety of applications that the trailer modules can handle, allowing any imaginable load or goods to be transported⁠—whether pallets, skeleton boxes, or individual items. All Linde logistic train models are characterized by their high tipping and directional stability, and small turning circles.

In Focus: Effectiveness in Handling

The main advantages of Linde logistic trains are their rapid and accurate handling, as well as the flexibility with which the trailer modules can quickly be adapted to all types of goods to be transported within the company premises. Each with a minimal turning circle, they can be used in even the most limited spaces. All Linde tugger trains operate with a variety of loading frames, which are equipped with a lifting function in order to raise the trolleys for transport and then to lower them again for unloading. This makes material transportation with Linde logistic trains not only effective and fast, but also safer and more energy-efficient than single transport runs.

Flexible Combination

The different and freely combinable frames can quickly and easily accept all types of goods that typically need to be transported within the company premises. They can be loaded with different trolleys and rolling racks, which will be automatically secured with a load locking device as a standard feature.

Future-Proofed

In Linde logistic trains, the future is already built in. In digitally controlled production processes, the requirements for precision and punctuality in material logistics are constantly growing. Networked logistics concepts are required, in which machines, goods, and transport systems communicate with one another to ensure that the goods are transported as efficiently as possible. Linde logistic trains are already fitted with powerful sensors, actuators, and control systems on the basis of which appropriate solutions can be implemented. The tugger train guidance system from Linde coordinates the driving orders and provides the drivers with the optimal routes. The software dashboard shows all essential information at a glance and can be used to generate analyses for process optimization.

5 x more output

More effective

Linde logistic trains operate cost-effectively, as they can carry and move large volumes of material. This makes them ideal for use in synchronized production.

Safer

Linde logistic trains are equipped with an immobilizer for safety: The trains cannot be moved unless all load frames in the trailer modules have been raised.

More cost-effective

Lifting up to 8,000 kg, the logistic trains move a great deal of material per operation, making them a particularly economical option for intralogistics.

More careful

The Linde logistic trains are optionally fitted with suspension and a smooth lifting mechanism. This enables them to move loads gently around the company premises.

More comfortable

Linde logistic trains provide maximum comfort in the workplace. What's more, the lift mechanism of the various trailers can each be operated by foot sensor.
