Linde VertiLight and Linde LED Stripes
Excellent illumination
Seeing and being seen is fundamental not only to safety but also efficiency when working with industrial trucks. The right light at the right time in the right place is an essential prerequisite for this. However, many lighting systems for forklift trucks cannot serve this purpose. They illuminate the working area only at certain points and often leave the edges dark or cast reflections on the mast or load which dazzle the operator.
With the Linde VertiLight and Linde LED Stripes, Linde Material Handling offers two innovative lighting concepts which solve these problems. Both provide optimum illumination of the working area and enable safe, precise and efficient work even in the case of inadequate hall lighting.
VertiLight – innovative design provides optimum illumination
In contrast to conventional headlights, the Linde VertiLight illuminates the working area over a large area thanks to its half-circular design with a wide light band and seven ideally arranged LEDs. The LEDs distribute the light uniformly from the floor to the upper edge of the shelf and improve visibility of the shelf, load and forks.
With counterbalance and reach trucks, the illumination angle can be individually adjusted via the holder to adapt the lighting to any application in the warehouse, hall or production area. Ideal for high rack use: with reach trucks, the diagonal arrangement of the two headlamps further increases the illumination range.
The special arrangement of the LEDs and the pleasant colour of the VertiLight reduce glare and ensure greater safety in internal traffic. Oncoming vehicles and pedestrians are less dazzled and the operator is not irritated by reflective goods or truck interiors. Since the VertiLight is attached to the side of the mast, there is no distracting light reflection on the mast.
Benefits of VertiLight at a glance
- Uniform illumination of the working area
- Improved visibility of racks, load and forks
- Low glare effect for the operator
- Low glare for pedestrians and other vehicles
- Long service life
LED Stripes: optimised illumination for front and rear
The Linde LED Stripes provide optimum safety conditions at the front and rear of the vehicle: the two-colour light strips use white light to illuminate the truck's direction of travel. If the direction of travel changes, the light colour automatically changes from white to red. Pedestrians and other vehicles can therefore identify the direction in which the truck is moving, even from far away – which further increases safety in warehouse traffic.
The LED Stripes are attached to the mast and rear of the vehicle and illuminate the immediate working area just as evenly and extensively as the VertiLight. This enables safe, precise and efficient work in any environment.
As with the VertiLight, Linde's innovative lighting concept minimises glare for oncoming vehicles and pedestrians and allows the operator to work efficiently in the hall. Both lighting solutions have an impressive service life of up to 20,000 hours.
