Electric Forklifts Xi10 – Xi20 (three-wheeled forklift truck)

With the Xi10 – Xi20, the mast and axles are decoupled from the chassis by elastomer ring bearings. This improves shock absorption and protects the operator from harmful human vibrations when driving over bumps. The tried-and-tested operating concept consisting of dual-pedal control and Linde Load Control allows for intuitive control of the forklift truck. The automotive design of the operator’s cab includes a full-graphic 3.5-inch display and user-friendly controls. A large selection of comfortable seats with different backrests, upholstery and suspension types provides a relaxed sitting position. Thanks to the integrated Li-ION battery, there is no need for a battery tray, which provides greater headroom and significantly more legroom compared to its competitors. The entry point has also been enlarged and lowered. In forklift trucks with a full cabin, the optional, fully integrated and high-performance heating and air conditioning system ensures optimum temperatures. In addition, the Xi10 – Xi20 can be equipped with the optional innovative Linde Steer Control operating system, where the traditional steering wheel is replaced by a joystick or a mini-wheel in the armrest.

The Xi10 – Xi20 set new performance standards in their class. Thanks to the interplay of 90-volt technology, sophisticated synchronous reluctance motors and efficient heat management, full performance is always available even under extreme conditions in multi-shift operation. With lifting speeds up to 20 percent above the industry average, the Xi10 – Xi20 provide for maximum productivity. Designed as a three-wheeled version, the forklift trucks offer maximum manoeuvrability in the tightest of spaces. With a top speed of up to 20 km/h, they are ideal for fast transport journeys and enable high handling capacities. The robust design also allows for occasional outdoor use. Thanks to the state-of-the-art system architecture, the forklift trucks can be integrated into digital processes and maintained remotely to maximise availability. An optional on-board charger allows for fast intermediate charging, irrespective of location.

The Xi10 – Xi20 are developed according to the design-to-service principle to minimise downtime and service costs. The basis for this is the robust and low-wear design of all components. The encapsulated electric motors are dustproof and waterproof. Other functional parts such as the tilt cylinders or the decoupling elements on the mast are also maintenance-free. An overall inspection is only due after 1,000 operating hours, and the hydraulic oil and filter change only after 6,000 hours (about three years). All relevant parts are easily accessible allowing for straightforward maintenance. The design, based on assemblies, also reduces the time needed for repairs. Optimised service processes based on wireless data transmission and analysis enable remote diagnostics and predictive maintenance.
