For years, internal combustion (IC) forklifts have provided the power and durability needed to meet many industries’ demands. But the traditional mechanical transmission system in these machines often results in less-than-ideal performance characteristics. These can include jerky movements, slower acceleration, and even higher fuel consumption.
But what if there was a better way forward? With the technological advancement of Linde hydrostatic drive systems—there is! By replacing the traditional mechanical transmission with a hydraulic system, Linde hydrostatic forklifts offer a smoother, more efficient, and often more environmentally friendly operation.
Before we dive too deep into the benefits, though, let’s break these machines down. In short, a Linde hydrostatic forklift uses a closed-loop hydraulic circuit to transmit power from the engine to the drive wheels. It’s the absence of a mechanical transmission that allows Linde hydrostatic forklifts to offer an easier and often more precise driving experience.
In the next section, we’ll explore how Linde hydrostatic drive systems work to optimize your operations and even reduce your risk of work-stopping incidents.
