K
The combination forklift for narrow aisles
Work effectively and with a view in the high shelving
The K man-up turret truck from Linde Material Handling enables high turnaround capacity for order picking and handling processes in high rack warehouses. The powerful drive trains make this possible, as the truck can move and lift at the same time. Also, even at high lift levels the speed remains high and a high level of residual lift capacity is available. Various assistance systems are available that help to navigate accurately through warehouse or to avoid obstacles. In particular, Linde System Control improves the process: depending on the version, the system adjusts the lift and travel speed according to the weight being transported. There are various versions of the mast, chassis, battery and cab for the very narrow aisle trucks, which can be combined according to usage requirements. There are around 10 million possible truck configurations.
Characteristics
Safety
The operator must make contact with three points, otherwise they will be unable to move the combination forklift: the hand sensors on the control panel as well as the dead-man’s switch on the cab floor. This prevents incorrect operation which may lead to accidents. For the safety of the operator, there are also electrically monitored side cabinets which must be closed when the platform height is above 1.2 metres. The optional staff protection system continuously scans the aisle and stops the truck if people are in the vicinity. For additional safety, an optional Aisle Safety Assistant detects RFID-tagged or barcode-marked unevenness, obstacles in the shelving, on the floor or on the ceiling and automatically limits the speed, lift height or fork extension at these locations. Service technicians can program general travel, lift and lowering end stops in the truck system, which can be adjusted. The standard, load and weight variants within the 'Linde System Control' assistance system assist the operator by adjusting speed and optimising driving behaviour depending on the lifting height, load recognition and load weight.

Ergonomics
The new control panel has an ergonomic design. In addition, its position can be adjusted across three axes – for example to aid comfortable working in both a standing and sitting position. The operator can also adjust the height and incline of the folding seat. The colour display of the control panel shows all the important information such as the time, speed, lifting height and steering angle at a glance. To make work easier, several storage options are available in the large, draft-protected cab. The chassis and the cab are decoupled from each other so that less shock is transmitted to the operator. Tilting side barriers are also available as an option. They swing outwards if the operator leans on them. This decreases the operator's distance from the shelving and makes order picking easier for the operator.
- The control panel’s height, incline, and angle can be adjusted
- Split control panel for whole-pallet handling, particularly in a sitting position
- Large cabin with the best view of lifting and loading
- The height, incline and angle of the seat are individually adjustable
- Storage options available

Handling
Even at high lift levels, the modern drive train technology of the combination forklift can achieve a high speed. In addition, the high residual lift capacity as well as modern RFID assistance systems enable navigation in the warehouse and handling on the shelving to be carried out more quickly. When using the Linde connect: fleet management system, it is also possible to optimise the whole usage cycle of the trucks. Additional support for handling is provided by functions such as the automatic lift height pre-selection and the automatic forks cycle. In this process, the truck automatically carries out three movements during pallet placement or removal at the press of a button. In the new version of the K truck, the main and auxiliary lifts can be raised or lowered simultaneously. This allows the operator to reach high-bays in a single step without having to operate the main and auxiliary lifts successively. The forks can also be put into position considerably more quickly through simultaneous control and can be controlled very easily at a convenient height. The energy generated by braking and lowering the load is restored to the battery. This improves usage duration and cost-effectiveness equally.
- High speed at high lift levels
- Modern assistance systems
- Several positioning aids
Service
The robust technology of the Linde K combination forklift ensures low service costs and a long service life. Its CAN bus connection enables technical problems to be rapidly diagnosed and rectified using a notebook. Like the three-phase motors for lift and movement, both of the independent braking systems are maintenance-free. With the battery carriage frame, which is available as an option, lateral battery changing is completed rapidly.
- CAN bus connection
- Low-wear braking system
- Fast battery replacement

Personal Protection System (PPS)
In accordance with DIN 15185, laser scanners detect people in a safety zone of nine meters in front of and behind the truck. If a person is detected, a warning signal sounds, and the truck stops automatically. Two additional, adjustable warning fields allow the speed to be reduced even before the safety zone is reached, and can also be used for safely switching aisles.
Modular truck design
The forklift can be adapted in various ways: there are various motors, batteries, lift masts and chassis available. Linde can also individually configure the operator’s cab with different seat variants and storage facilities. This enables more than 10 million configuration variations.
Attachment bars
The operator cab can be enhanced with several individual fittings, such as monitor, terminal scanner, storage facilities and writing support.
Operating panels
For the cab, the customer can choose between a front or divided operating panel. Both variants can be adjusted quickly for working in a standing or sitting position. The integrated full-colour display provides the operator with all the relevant information at a glance, from the speed of the forklift and the lifting height to the steering angle and the time of day.
Tilting barriers
If the operator leans on the barrier, it tilts outwards by 10 cm. This enables the operator to reach the racking better, making order picking easier.
Mirror module
The equipment package includes a large rear-view mirror as well as lateral working lights to illuminate the working surroundings in the racking. There is also an optional ventilation system available to cool the operator when working at high lift levels in hot weather.
Active Stability Control (ASC)
The intelligent assistance system Active Stability Control is an intelligent assistance system that detects unevenness between the left and right sides of the aisle and automatically compensates for shocks and vibrations so the truck can achieve its maximum handling performance even on less than perfect floors.
Linde System Control (LSC)
The system provides improved throughput rates and enhanced safety. The LSC Standard basic version indicates to the operator the residual lift capacity for the particular lift height. Enhanced LSC versions adapt additional lift and/or travel speed to the weight of the load being transported.
Dynamic Reach Control (DRC)
This system combines all other LSC functions, and adds intelligent load stabilisation. When putting away or retrieving loads, the system adjusts reach according to current load weight, and eliminates lateral mast oscillations. This enables loads to be moved faster and reduces risk of damage to loads and racking.
Aisle safety assistant
The assistance system detects barcodes or RFID tags in the aisle which mark unevenness in the floor, as well as obstacles in the shelving or on the ceiling, and restricts truck functions such as lift or driving speed, lift height or fork extension at these specific locations.
Warehouse navigation
The forklift receives driving tasks via the customer's warehouse management system. Using barcodes or RFID tags, the system determines the location in the aisle and measures the current lift height. Based on this information, it guides the truck automatically to the desired location. The operator only has to operate the drive function.
Fleet management
How and by whom are the individual forklifts used? What does the usage data of the forklifts look like, and is every single truck fit to drive? Using a combination of software and hardware, connect: provides the appropriate answers.
Cold storage protection
The K-truck is available for cold store application. Amongst other things, the forklifts are operated with special hydraulic fluid and lubricants and receive a corrosion-proof coating. Additionally, there is the option to choose from a variety of enclosed, insulated cabs. A closed and heated cold store cabin provides comfortable working conditions.
