The most important feature distinguishing a Linde Forklift is the driving force behind business success for innumerable companies across the globe: Linde Hydrostatic Transmission.

A remarkable package of advantages is incorporated in this superb example of industrial truck engineering. Smooth driving without stalling, millimeter accuracy of of positioning, minimum wear and correspondingly long life. Linde forklift trucks are their own best advertisement. No business facing tough competition can deny this wisdom.

All the more because hydrostatic transmission eliminates the need for a large number of components. What isn't needed can't wear out, fail or otherwise cost money. For instance, there's no conventional service brake on a Linde Forklift. The truck is braked automatically by the hydrostatic transmission as soon as the operator eases up on the driving pedal. Kinetic energy of the truck's motion is smoothly absorbed by the hydraulic fluid.

Less is more.

The hydrostatic transmission in Linde forklift trucks eliminates mechanical clutch, brakes and gearbox.
