Enhance Warehouse Efficiency

The versatile SL40AC and SL50AC forklifts replace conventional reach and counterbalanced fork trucks in standard warehouse pallet handling operations. These Landoll forklifts performs the same jobs as reach and counterbalanced trucks but in aisles over 50% smaller. This means they offer significantly higher storage density, enabling warehouses to optimize space utilization without compromising on functionality or productivity.

The unique design allows operators to use it as a counterbalance truck indoors or out, operates in very narrow aisles in the warehouse, replacing reach and counterbalanced trucks that require much wider aisles.

The operator’s compartment is offset providing a long load-carrying side deck so these trucks can be used as side loaders. The front tires are 20″ (508mm) diameter and the rear/steer tires are 14” (356mm) diameter providing great under clearance for avoiding floor obstructions. The rear steer axle is articulated to provide a smooth ride over rough floor condition

Linde Smart Guide Wire Guidance System

Linde Smart Guide Wire Guidance System is a fully integrated wire guidance system available for our VNA trucks to automatically guide the vehicles in narrow aisles.

A wire sensor mounted on the center of the truck receives signals from a wire buried in a groove in the stacking aisle floor. This signal controls the steering, allowing the truck to automatically follow the wire system.

Operators are freed from manual steering tasks and can focus on maximizing their productivity in tasks like order picking.
