It’s impossible to overstate the importance of safety in intralogistics. In addition to substantial costs, accidents and damage can have other serious consequences. Accidents involving people in particular often lead to personal harm and lengthy recovery processes. This can also impact productivity and the smooth running of operations, which can have extremely negative knock-on effects for the company’s competitiveness.
This is where Linde Material Handling comes in. With our wide range of innovative safety solutions, we offer the ideal technology for any application, providing optimal protection for your drivers and employees as well as the transported goods, racking, and other machinery. From the initial safety analysis to sophisticated light solutions and intelligent assistance systems through to fleet management, we provide you with comprehensive support to help you implement safe and efficient intralogistics processes.

Ensuring Safety in Intralogistics
It’s becoming increasingly challenging to keep warehouses safe. Each year, thousands of accidents involving industrial trucks are reported, many of which occur when trucks are reversing. In this episode of the Logistics Business Conversations podcast, experts Elke Karnarski and Fabian Zimmermann from Linde Material Handling discuss the biggest safety risks in warehouses and intralogistics and what can be done to avoid them.
Safety Solutions for Fleets
Our intelligent safety technologies and networked systems ensure optimal protection for people and machines during operation. From collision avoidance and fleet management through to automated processes, we offer sophisticated solutions to increase safety and efficiency.
Linde Safety Guard
In modern intralogistics systems people and industrial trucks often work side by side, in some cases under enormous time pressure. The risk of accidents is particularly high in areas where pedestrians and trucks frequently come into contact. Blind spots, areas with poor visibility, and high noise levels further increase the risk of accidents. Our Linde Safety Guard assistance system is a reliable solution to help increase the safety of drivers and pedestrians in the immediate vicinity of the truck. Warning zones are created around people, trucks, and infrastructure elements. In the event of danger, visual and acoustic warnings are emitted to warn those nearby. The warning zones can be individually adjusted.

Automation
Transport processes using automated guided vehicles (AGVs) can be another building block to help improve safety in internal material flows. Modern sensors for environment sensing, innovative navigation technologies, and integrated safety functions help to significantly reduce the risk of accidents. A high degree of process reliability is also ensured thanks to standardized processes.

Good visibility for the driver and other people nearby are essential requirements for a safe warehouse. That’s why we fit our industrial trucks with state-of-the-art lighting and warning lights that are visible from distance.
Assistance systems
Our intelligent driver assistance systems actively help the driver to avoid accidents and maneuver safely. Whether counterbalanced forklift trucks, warehouse trucks, reach trucks, or very narrow aisle trucks, Linde Material Handling offers a wide range of solutions that make drivers’ day-to-day work easier and increase safety in the warehouse.
Eliminating the Risk of Explosions
Explosive environments are a common occurrence in many industries, such as chemicals, pharmaceuticals, food, logistics, and recycling. In environments like this, gases, vapors, and dust can combine to create hazardous conditions. With this in mind, it is essential that industrial trucks used in these areas have the highest possible explosion protection.
Linde Material Handling GmbH provides tailored explosion protection solutionsthat guarantee an adequate level of safety without compromising on efficiency and ergonomics. The portfolio includes explosion-proof versions of various counterbalanced forklift trucks, reach trucks, pallet stackers, and pallet trucks, as well as a range of safety systems with an explosion-proof design that comply with EU standard EN 1755 and the ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU. This enables Linde to ensure safe and efficient material flows, even under challenging, explosion-proof conditions.
