Normally, I encounter these type of equipment inside the warehouses and distribution centers that I visit, and they\u2019re considered the lifeblood of these businesses since they help get jobs done in a jiffy by pretty much lifting and moving materials short distances. Now, if you\u2019re searching for a forklift truck to add to your warehouse biz but on a tight budget to invest in a brand-new one, you know you can always go for a used model, or you can just hire one.<\/p>\n<p>In today\u2019s review, I will be featuring\u00a0a forklift truck from one of the world\u2019s leading manufacturers, Linde. Here\u2019s my quick breakdown of the key features of the\u00a0H160-1200 model.<\/p>\n<h3>Linde\u00a0H160-1200\u00a0Forklift Truck: Key Features<\/h3>\n<p><em>Top-notch performance<\/em><\/p>\n<p>One of the outstanding features of all forklifts from Linde\u00a0is the hydraulic drive, and\u00a0it\u2019s good to know that\u00a0their\u00a0H160-1200 range\u00a0has incorporated that feature. This particular model is equipped with the Linde high precision hydrostatic drive, which is said to be the world\u2019s most advanced forklift drive system. Such feature\u00a0maximises the machine\u2019s\u00a0performance and lessens maintenance since you can eliminate the need for conventional\u00a0brakes, torque converters, or clutch packs. The drive system also allows the forklift to accelerate and decelerate smoothly.<\/p>\n<p>The Linde Dual Pedal Travel Control and Linde Load Control features added\u00a0in this truck also increase its performance and save time. These features allow the\u00a0operator to maneuver the equipment without exerting too much effort and can load warehouse materials, such as empty containers, smoother and quicker.<\/p>\n<p><em>Powerful standard features<\/em><\/p>\n<p>What I like about Linde is that they always make sure they equip their forklifts with nothing but the best features. This is\u00a0also what forklift resellers,\u00a0such as the <a href=\"http:\/\/mlaholdings.trado.com.au\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MLA Holdings Pty Ltd<\/a>., think. The H160-1200 model is strong enough to lift up to\u00a035,000 lbs and can travel\u00a0up to 18.5 mph speed under full load. This is actually faster compared to other forklifts in its class.\u00a0The model is also armed with a high-performance\u00a0hydraulic oil filter, an on-demand hydrostatic power steering, and a\u00a0Cummins QSB 6.7 liter diesel engine.<\/p>\n<p><em>Reliability and durability<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Given that it is powered by a Cummins diesel engine, and is armed with\u00a0a\u00a0Linde hydrostatic drive system that allows the machine to operate even without mechanical transmission, you can ensure low operating costs and minimised maintenance, therefore, providing a longer forklift\u00a0life.<\/p>\n<p><em>Comfort and ergonomic design<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Enough of the technical side, let\u2019s now focus on the safety and the built of the Linde\u00a0H160-1200. Basically, the truck\u2019s spacious, air-conditioned, and cushioned operator cab is mounted on\u00a0high-density rubber\u00a0bearings and is far enough from the vibrations of the engine. It comes with a comfortable\u00a0hydraulic suspension seat (with seat belt) that helps eliminate shocks when driving over rough surfaces and\u00a0fingertip hydraulic controls (built into the armrest) that lessen operator\u2019s fatigue. It is also equipped with\u00a0some\u00a0interior components that protect it from road shock damages and chassis vibrations, again\u00a0providing a longer forklift service life.<\/p>\n<h3>Linde\u00a0H160-1200\u00a0Forklift Truck: Price<\/h3>\n<p>Used: POA<\/p>\n<h3>Linde\u00a0H160-1200\u00a0Forklift Truck:\u00a0Videos<\/h3>\n<div class=\"video-container\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/UZ5OSIvtFVc?feature=oembed\" width=\"820\" height=\"461\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<h3>Linde\u00a0H160-1200\u00a0Forklift Truck:\u00a0The Verdict<\/h3>\n<p>Summing up, the\u00a0Linde\u00a0H160-1200 forklift truck provides both quality and comfort. Knowing that it\u2019s manufactured by a leading company, I think it can well compete with some of the finest when it comes to\u00a0performance, lifting power, and travel speed. The well-known\u00a0hydrostatic drive system and other impressive features that are incorporated to it allow it to operate efficiently and smoothly even when handling heavy loads. Thus, even if you\u2019ll just invest in a used and refurbished H160-1200\u00a0model, you can still guarantee a stable and great performance. I find it\u00a0suitable not only for warehouses but also for a wide range of construction and industrial applications.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Linde H160-1200 Forklift Truck: The Introduction The demand for forklift trucks has widely increased these past few decades, especially in the industries of manufacturing, mining, and agriculture.
