Efficient and safe order picking with superior visibility
The N20 – N25 low-lift order pickers from Linde Material Handling impress as a versatile solution for order picking operations in a wide variety of industries, including transport and logistics, retail, and automotive. Their load capacity of up to 2.5 tons and the stable 4-point support make them the ideal choice for fast transport over long distances, where they can accelerate to speeds of up to 14 km/h. The version with an integrated, compact lithium-ion battery is the shortest truck (L2 dimension) on the market, offering maximum maneuverability. At the same time, the innovative vehicle design, with the battery positioned behind the driver’s platform, ensures the driver always has an optimal view of the warehouse environment. Designed as standard for order picking at ground level, the N20 – N25 can optionally be equipped with a raisable driver’s platform. This additional feature enables a picking height of up to 2.8 meters, making the truck perfectly suited to occasional work on the first and second rack levels as well. Thanks to different energy systems (lead-acid or lithium-ion) and diverse equipment options, the trucks can be optimally adapted to individual requirements and application areas.
Characteristics
Safety
Since the battery of the N20 – N25 is positioned behind the driver’s platform, the driver has an excellent view of the entire working environment and can identify potential hazards early. A safety function protects against unwanted rollback when starting on gradients, and two separate braking systems ensure maximum control at all times: The electromagnetic service brake is directly coupled to the emergency stop switch and brings the truck to an immediate standstill in an emergency. Additionally, Linde Brake Control ensures smooth, controlled braking when the drive lever is released. The optional Linde BlueSpot spotlight provides additional safety. Upon request, it is integrated directly into the vehicle contour and warns other employees in warehouse aisles and at blind intersections by projecting a blue light spot onto the floor. Linde Safety Guard (available as an option) further enhances safety by alerting truck operators and pedestrians to acute danger in the immediate vehicle surroundings through audible and visual signals. In combination with the optional Speed Zoning function, Linde Safety Guard also automatically adjusts the speed in certain areas. Furthermore, Linde Curve Assist ensures increased cornering safety, while a load backrest (optional) reliably secures high or unstable loads.
- Excellent visibility due to the battery positioned behind the driver’s platform
- Two separate braking systems for maximum control
- Linde Curve Assist ensures adjusted speed in curves
- Increased safety through optional Linde Safety Guard and Linde BlueSpot
- Optional load backrest for safely transporting high loads
Ergonomics
The N20 – N25 impress with a well-designed workstation concept. The low, wide entry allows comfortable access from both sides and noticeably facilitates constant mounting and dismounting during order picking. The serially spring-damped driver’s platform reliably protects against shocks, while the optional pneumatic suspension reduces vibrations even further. Thanks to the modular driver’s stand, operators can flexibly adapt the workplace to their needs. An optional adjustable backrest with folding driver’s seat offers additional comfort, especially for longer transport routes. The proven Linde Steering Wheel is height-adjustable on request, thus ensuring optimal comfort, regardless of the driver’s height. The standard display provides all important vehicle data at a glance, while the optional multifunction color display offers an even more detailed overview of operating hours, battery capacity, and service status.
- Low, wide entry for comfortable access from both sides
- Spring-damped driver’s platform as standard, optionally pneumatically damped
- Modular driver’s stand, optionally with adjustable backrest and foldable seat
- Ergonomic, optionally height-adjustable Linde Steering Wheel
- Optional multifunction color display for detailed vehicle information
Handling
With a travel speed of up to 14 km/h, the N20 – N25 enable fast and efficient goods handling. The 4-point support ensures excellent stability and a safe driving experience at all times. Thanks to the battery compartment specifically designed for the lithium-ion battery, the trucks in the Li-ION variant offer particularly compact dimensions, a small turning radius, and outstanding maneuverability. This makes them ideal for working in narrow warehouse aisles. For particularly efficient order picking, the operator can optionally activate the pedestrian mode. Using buttons on the outside, the driver can conveniently control the N20 – N25 without having to enter the driver’s stand. This makes working over short distances even more time-saving. The optional liftable driver’s stand or the fold-out step allows for working on the first and second rack level, significantly expanding the truck’s working range. Versatile holders for work materials such as clipboards or scanners also enable flexible adaptation of the workstation to the operator’s individual requirements.
- Travel speeds of up to 14 km/h
- Excellent stability and safe driving experience
- Optional pedestrian control buttons for efficient order picking over short distances
- Optional raisable driver’s stand or fold-out step for access to first or second rack level
- Compact dimensions and small turning radius
Service
The N20 – N25 are designed for maximum availability and minimal service costs. The robust construction guarantees a long service life and sustainably reduces maintenance effort. The maintenance-free three-phase technology and long service intervals of 1,000 operating hours ensure consistently high operational readiness. Thanks to the well-thought-out design, all important components are particularly quick and easy to access, significantly simplifying maintenance work. All vehicle data can be easily read out using the CAN bus connection to enable fast error diagnoses and preventive maintenance. At the same time, individual truck parameters can be conveniently set via the CAN bus architecture, allowing the vehicles to be optimally adapted to the respective operating conditions.
- Robust construction for high availability and low service costs
- Maintenance-free three-phase drive technology
- Long maintenance intervals of 1,000 operating hours
- Easy and quick access to all relevant components
