Each of these features has been enhanced and improved on a consistent basis. The H20–H35 diesel and gas forklift trucks set the standard for performance, ergonomics, safety and connectivity – and will provide the answers to material flow challenges well into the future.
H20–H35 diesel forklift truck: man and machine working as one
Maximum productivity requires the perfect interaction between operator and forklift truck. This occurs where a powerful drive system, such as the hydrostatic drive, is complemented by intuitive control elements. As a result, the H20–H35 diesel and gas forklift trucks, together with the operator’s workstation, were designed entirely around the operator and their needs. The proven operating concept comprised of the dual-pedal control and Linde Load Control for controlling all operating and mast movements makes the forklift trucks easy, precise and intuitive to operate. The intelligent arrangement of all control elements ensures that the operator can reach and operate all control elements of the H20–H35 diesel forklift truck with minimum effort and maximum precision. This enables virtually fatigue-free working for the entire shift.

Hydrostatic drive
The maintenance-free hydraulic system of the H20–H35 diesel forklift truck transfers the power of the industrial engine to the drive wheels and lifting hydraulic system without any loss. The hydrostatic drive therefore enables gentle start-up, fast changes of direction, sensitive load handling and precise manoeuvring in the tightest of spaces.
Decentralised steering wheel
The steering wheel of the H20–H35 diesel forklift truck is positioned off-centre. This reduces the shoulder movements for the left arm and prevents joint wear. It is practical, easy to control and can be individually adjusted.
Dual-pedal control
The established dual-pedal control allows the forklift truck to be controlled with exceptional sensitivity and precision as both feet are in constant contact with the pedals. The right pedal moves the truck forwards, the left backwards. This gives the operator direct feedback on the movements of the forklift truck.
Linde Load Control
Linde Load Control gives the operator control of all of the diesel forklift truck’s key mast functions. The control elements are placed on an ergonomically shaped armrest, which minimises arm movements and prevents fatigue. Optional additional buttons can be assigned further functions.
Customisable overhead console
In the H20–H35 diesel forklift truck, important functions, such as headlights or heating, can be controlled via the overhead console. It contains eleven buttons, nine of which have been assigned lighting and hazard warning functions. The rest are freely programmable.
Effortless entry
The low step on the H20–H35 forklift trucks ensures that individuals of any height can comfortably enter and exit the truck. A non-slip tread plate and an ergonomic entry handle provide additional support.
Maximum seating comfort
The standard operator’s seat was further refined for the H20–H35 IC truck, which now provides greater headroom and more comfortable working. Twelve seating options offer additional comfort and protect against postural injuries.
Optimised operator’s compartment
The operator’s compartment of the H20–H35 diesel forklift trucks provides a particularly generous amount of headroom and legroom. The drive axle, steering axle and mast are decoupled from the chassis to protect the operator from physical stress caused by vibrations.
Spacious cab
The spacious cab of the H20–H35 diesel forklift truck offers the operator optimal visibility. The large glass surfaces give the operator the feeling that they are seated outdoors. The heating and air-conditioning system (contains fluorinated hydrocarbons) inside the cab regulate the temperature to a pleasant working atmosphere in just a few minutes.
Built-in safety: a diesel forklift truck for ‘Vision Zero’
When it comes to safety, nothing can be left to chance. ‘Vision Zero’ – no accidents in internal traffic – is the overriding goal. That’s why Linde has improved everything on the H20–H35 diesel forklift trucks that can permanently reduce the risk of accidents. A sophisticated design, perfect visibility, and numerous warning and assistance systems provide an optimal feeling of safety inside and outside the truck. Because the operator can only use their truck with maximum productivity if they feel safe.
Optimised visibility
The chassis, cab and mast of the H20–H35 diesel forklift trucks have been optimised so that the operator has an unobstructed view of the load and environment in all directions. The slender mast, the narrow A-pillar and the lowered front plate improve the visibility towards the front, while the narrow cross struts used for the roof structure and an optional reinforced glass roof ensure good overhead visibility. Optional cameras on all sides of the forklift truck expand the natural field of vision.
Designed for safety
The passive safety of the H20–H35 diesel forklift truck is in a class of its own: the side skirts of the frame structure are extremely robust and provide ram protection. The truck’s low centre of gravity and high steering axle reduces the risk of overturning. At the same time, the overhead tilt cylinders and the warp-resistant mast design ensure a high residual load capacity as well as high lifting heights for safe and sensitive load handling.
Stability and good visibility
Numerous safety features on the H20–H35 diesel and gas forklift trucks help prevent operating errors. The automatic engagement of the parking brake ensures that the truck stops securely on ramps and gradients so that the operator can safely dismount. All forklift trucks without an optional cabin are also fitted with electronic seatbelt monitoring as standard. This ensures that the forklift truck can only operate at creep speed when the operator is not strapped in. For better visibility and added safety, the H20–H35 can also be fitted with numerous warning and lighting solutions, such as the Linde LED Stripes, the Linde Truck Spot and the Linde VertiLight.
Hard-working assistants
The H20–H35 diesel forklift trucks are fitted with the Linde Curve Assist as standard. The system adjusts the driving speed to the steering angle to reduce the risk of overturning when cornering. Linde Load Assist is also included as standard. This determines the forklift truck’s residual load capacity to reduce the risk of tipping accidents. The Linde load weight indicator as well as theLinde Safety Pilot and Linde Safety Guard assistance systems can also be fitted for even greater safety.
Equipped for the future: connectivity meets diesel forklift trucks
Data is the currency of the future, especially in the material flow of modern companies. That’s why all of the performance data for the H20–H35 diesel and gas forklift trucks can be analysed using software. The data transmission unit installed as standard means that the forklift truck can be easily integrated into fleet management systems such as Linde connect . This enables a more efficient use of the truck, more precise maintenance planning, and more reliable cost calculation.
Maximum efficiency: less downtime, better performance
The H20–35 diesel and gas forklift trucks are the most efficient counterbalanced forklift trucks in their performance class. This is made possible by the tried-and-tested hydrostatic drive system, which transforms the operator and the truck into an intuitively operating unit. In addition, the tough construction and service-friendly design minimise downtimes for repairs. This exceptional efficiency is also reflected in the fact that the new H20–H35 forklift trucks are superior to the competition from a total cost of ownership perspective.
Drive for optimal handling performance
Linde Material Handling has spent decades perfecting a drive system that enables the precise and sensitive control of the drive performance of its counterbalanced forklift trucks. This superior technology is based on the hydrostatic drive.
The closed and maintenance-free hydraulic system transfers the power of the industrial engine to the drive wheels and lifting hydraulic system without any loss, meaning that the operator receives exactly the power that they require in every work situation. This guarantees maximum handling performance together with minimum fuel consumption. Linde Material Handling diesel forklift trucks have had the lowest emissions in the market for years. The new H20–H35 forklift trucks meet the Euro 5 emission standard.
Maintenance can wait
Interruptions due to downtimes and maintenance work cost time and money and strain the nerves. The tough construction and service-friendly design of the H20–H35 diesel and gas forklift trucks reduces downtimes to a minimum. The strong side skirts act as ram protection and prevent damage caused by accidents involving collisions. Even the new industrial engine is extremely robust. For example, instead of the drive belts usually used in automotive engines, it uses low-maintenance spur gears. What’s more, the Engine Protection System (EPS) monitors the engine and protects it from overloading.
For fast and straightforward maintenance, accessibility to important components was improved by removable cladding and larger service openings. Our Truck Health Monitoring enables comprehensive fault monitoring and faster fault localisation. It also transmits error codes so that an initial diagnosis can be made. This makes it possible for the service technician to immediately take the necessary spare parts with them for the repair work.
This forklift truck pays off
The focus on maximum efficiency when designing the H20–35 diesel and gas forklift trucks is also clearly shown by the performance data. A certified performance test shows that the trucks take less time for the same amount of transported load, while also consuming less fuel. The model calculations show that the trucks achieve the best total cost of operation in their direct competitive environment, even with operating times in excess of 20,000 operating hours. Besides the performance of the truck, maintenance and personnel costs are also taken into account.
