Considering the overall costs, products from Linde Material Handling have an advantage over those of other providers for several reasons. On the one hand they are global leaders when it comes to energy efficiency, and on the other hand they have extremely long service lives. An additional advantage is the tight and reliable service network. Other providers only appear to have the advantage when considering the "tip of the iceberg", the procurement costs.
Less wear, a reliable spare parts service and long service intervals mean lower costs. Other benefits include higher availability and the low risk of damage or breakdown. Our customers also benefit from the highly qualified training of the service personnel. Not only the companies as a whole benefit, but also the drivers. They work with a low-vibration, low-noise, comfortable and easily operated forklift truck. This results in better motivation for the employees, and they fall sick less often.
Linde forklift trucks have a particularly long service life. They are equipped with the latest drive train and emissions technology, such as highly developed diesel engines and hydrostatic transmission. Parts subject to wear are largely eliminated. The proportion of recyclable materials amounts to over 90 percent. This results in low oil, energy and raw materials consumption. Linde forklifts are also notable for their low noise and exhaust emissions.
The procurement costs of a Linde forklift are balanced by the lower operating costs. Overall there is a significant cost advantage. Compared with vehicles from other providers, Linde forklift trucks work considerably more efficiently. The improved ergonomics and performance of the forklift result in improved transhipment performance, which reduces staffing requirements. Long service intervals and a tight service network ensure low downtime ratios. Linde forklift trucks are economical in terms of fuel consumption, and minimal depreciation also contributes to low costs. So acquiring one has a positive effect on the balance sheet.
