D12 HP AP

For the D12 HP AP, both the foldable operator’s platform and the tiller are decoupled from the chassis and fully suspended. This protects the operator from shocks and vibrations in both drive and pedestrian modes. The electric power steering enables effortless vehicle manoeuvres even in narrow, difficult-to-navigate areas. To this end, travel speed and steering resistance are automatically and continuously adjusted to the steering angle. The D12 HP AP also features the Linde OptiLift assistance system. With its help, the operator executes all lifting movements precisely and intuitively, which allows fast and maximally ergonomic load handling at the same time. A multi-function display shows all relevant information on the vehicle status. The design of the battery cover provides sufficient space for work utensils such as wrapping paper, gloves and writing materials.

Thanks to the foldable operator platform, the D12 HP AP can be used in either drive or pedestrian mode. With the platform folded in, they are particularly manoeuvrable and ideally suited for confined environments. As high-performance vehicles, they feature a powerful 3 kW three-phase AC motor that enables rapid acceleration and a top speed of up to 14 km/h (without load). Up to 7.5 km/h is possible with a double load. A powerful lift motor ensures faster lifting movements. More power when handling two pallets is provided by the optional Linde Speed Management assistance system. A 5-point configuration with optional electrically controlled and hydraulically operated castor wheels on both sides, as well as a centre-mounted drive wheel, provides consistent traction and stability, especially when traversing ramps or uneven ground. The ergonomic double handle on the tiller includes all important vehicle functions. The D12 HP AP are available with a new generation of Li-ION batteries, which can be complemented with an on-board charger for more efficient charging management. Three independent braking systems ensure operator and load safety. A start-up assistant prevents unintentional rolling backwards on sloping ground.

The D12 HP AP are permanently available thanks to their maintenance-free 3kW three-phase motors. This enables long service intervals and constantly low maintenance costs. Robust cladding parts and a stable chassis ensure durability even under tough operating conditions. The vehicle was developed according to the ‘design to service’ principle. This means service technicians have fast access to all relevant components. Thanks to the innovative CAN bus structure, they can access all vehicle data through a plug-in diagnostic unit. The electric-electronic architecture allows software updates and new functions to be remotely installed on the vehicle at any time when it is equipped with an optional data transmission unit.
