Versatile truck for optimized automation
The automated L-MATIC AC k pallet stacker from Linde Material Handling raises efficiency in intralogistics to a new level. With its load capacity of 1,400 kilograms and a storage height of up to 3.8 meters, it is ideal for ground transport, storage and retrieval in wide-aisle warehouses, and as an infeed truck for narrow-aisle applications. Thanks to its cantilever fork, the counterbalanced forklift truck can pick up closed load carriers directly from the ground. Its comprehensive sensor system for load detection enables different pallet types and special load carriers to be handled. Different fork lengths and variants offer added flexibility for a wide range of load sizes and shapes while extensive safety equipment reliably detects obstacles and people in its surroundings, ensuring maximum protection.
Characteristics
Safety
The L-MATIC AC k offers a comprehensive safety concept in line with the highest standards. The 360° safety scanners continuously monitor the surroundings in all directions and automatically adapt their range to the driving speed and curve radius, allowing the truck to navigate safely even in the tightest of spaces. If an obstacle is detected in the immediate vicinity, the truck slows its speed and comes to a gentle stop. Various sensors in the fork tips and on the fork carriage reduce errors during storage and retrieval and thus prevent damage to the goods and the racking systems. Acoustic and visual warning signals alert pedestrians and drivers of manual trucks to potential hazards. In an emergency, easily accessible emergency stop switches allow the truck to be brought to an immediate standstill. For additional safety, an optional 2D laser curtain can be selected, which detects objects above floor level, such as protruding loads or suspended objects. This additional function is ideal for automating existing facilities.
- 360° safety thanks to laser scanners
- Automatic adaptation to speed and curve radius
- Sensors in the forks for precise storage and retrieval
- Acoustic and visual warning signals
- Easily accessible emergency stop switches
- Optional 2D laser curtain for objects above floor level
Handling
The L-MATIC AC k impresses with its versatility and seamless integration into existing systems. It can pick up closed load carriers directly from the ground with its cantilever fork. The advanced load detection sensors not only detect individual pallets, but also stacked load carriers, providing additional safety and efficiency during storage and retrieval. This minimizes damage to goods and racking systems while reducing downtime due to accidents. Thanks to interfaces to the Linde Warehouse Manager and to common WMS and ERP systems, the L-MATIC AC k can be easily incorporated into existing infrastructures. The Linde MATIC:move control software enables rapid commissioning of the forklift truck and is particularly suitable for smaller automated fleets. If the need for automation increases over time, the truck can also be integrated into larger fleets using MATIC:move+; an easy process thanks to the intuitive touchscreen with user-friendly interface. If required, it is possible to switch from automatic to manual mode at any time. An optional function for automatic charging maximizes the availability of the truck and enables continuous operation without manual intervention.
- Cantilevered fork for picking up closed load carriers
- Advanced load detection for stacked goods
- Seamless integration into existing systems
- Fast commissioning and flexible scalability
- Optional automated charging function
Service
The L-MATIC AC k benefits from the latest Linde standards for automated trucks, including maintenance software, workshop manuals, training courses, and the reliable availability of spare parts. Linde MH’s comprehensive service network ensures that trucks can be serviced and repaired quickly if necessary, providing a high level of process reliability for automated workflows. Local service technicians can access the truck data directly using modern service and diagnostics tools, which enables efficient on-site support, minimizes downtimes, and reduces operating costs in the long term. A digital twin is available to support the safe and reliable maintenance of software and hardware.
