Automated industrial trucks

Technology in Flux
Automated forklifts from Linde Material Handling’s MATIC series in the warehouse.

Automated industrial trucks are the future of efficient material flow. They relieve employees of tedious transport tasks, increase handling capacity, and reduce error and accident rates in the warehouse.

With the electric forklifts, pallet trucks, tow tractors, and mobile plattforms of the MATIC series, Linde Material Handling offers a wide range of advanced automation solutions. All automated industrial trucks are equipped with intelligent navigation and safety technology and those based on our proofen conventional warehouse trucks can also be maneuvered using the manual controls if necessary.
