Rotatable workplace from 0 to 180 degrees

Forklift operators are exposed to high levels of physical strain, particularly when transporting large, bulky goods. These goods restrict the operator’s view, so they need to drive backwards. The operator twists their upper body in the direction of travel in order to operate the truck safely. However, this posture damages their spine. It often results in fatigue, pain and lost working days.

Having a clear view and working ergonomically do not have to be mutually exclusive. When using the rotating operator’s work station for IC- and electric forklift trucks from Linde or the rotating cabin for heavy forklifts, the work station rotates rather than the operator. This improves the view of the load or the direction of travel and takes the strain off the operator’s musculoskeletal system. Lost working days are reduced, as well as potential errors due to tiredness. For the operator, this ultimately means a greater handling capacity and increased safety.
