R14 – R17 X - Linde Ireland

INNOVATIVE DESIGN FOR SHORT REACH DISTANCES AND DOUBLE THE AVAILABLE SPACE

R14 – R17 X reach trucks have an exceptional design, which significantly increases performance, driving comfort and safety. They are ideal for the efficient handling of loads up to 1.7 tons and a working height of over 11.5 meters in narrow rack aisles. The positioning of the battery under the cabin means that the driver has double the amount of space and the field of vision through the mast has doubled, compared to conventional reach trucks, thanks to a new mast concept. The mast is permanently mounted on the chassis. The reach travel movement is now performed by a special fork carriage. This design ensures extremely stable load handling. The position of the battery means that the center of gravity is very low, which leads to high residual load capacities. The special design with extremely short reach travel movements enables narrower aisles in high rack warehouses.

Description

Product Overview

Safety

The ultra-wide lifting masts on the R14 – R17 X trucks, narrow mast profiles and the proximity of the seat to the mast provide the best possible all-round view. An optional armored glass panoramic roof also provides a clear view of loads above the truck. An automatically engaging parking brake increases safety, for example, when stopping on ramps or gradients. The Linde Curve Assist assistance system supports the driver around bends by proportionally adjusting the speed. Four independent braking systems quickly and safely bring the truck to a stop in every situation. A wide range of additional equipment improves operating safety. For example, a camera system mounted on the mast provides the driver with a permanent view of the load.

Ergonomics

The improved all-round view thanks to the wide lift masts, as well as the intuitive Linde Load Control mast control make precise load handling easy and comfortable. The innovative truck design with the low battery position doubles the space available in the driver’s cabin. All control elements for driving and mast functions are ergonomically integrated into the armrests of the driver’s seat and are individually adjustable. The seat can optionally be rotated by 10° and the control resistance can be customized. The interaction of the individual elements and the very generous amount of available space enable particularly efficient and fatigue-free operation.

Handling

The unique design of the R14 – R17 X series enables a compact chassis with a short wheelbase. This gives the truck outstanding maneuverability and it requires less space for load handling than normal reach trucks. The short reach travel distance, the unique view through the mast, as well as the standard side shifter for the forks also improve handling performance. The low positioning of the battery under the driver’s work station and the permanent mounting of the mast on the chassis give the trucks a high residual load capacity and high stability. The dual-pedal control and Linde Load Control make the trucks faster and safer to maneuver.

Service

Easy access to the key service components mean that these Linde reach trucks are extremely quick and easy to service. The truck data can be exported via the CAN bus system to provide the service technician with information on the condition of the electronics and mechanics. The battery is easy to change using a pallet truck or the optional replacement stand. Maintenance-free electric motors and service intervals of 1,000 operating hours mean that the trucks are extremely reliable and cost-effective.
