Tackling Environmental Issues in Material Handling with Performance & Sustainability

Going green is no longer a choice. Companies and industries have to cut down on carbon emissions or face fines and penalties once the Paris Accords come into force. Across the world, many material handling equipment manufacturers are worried that by going green they might have to compromise on power and performance. They are also worried about making products sustainable. There is a struggle to find the right balance between performance and sustainability, whilst maintaining profitability. But Linde Material Handling has cracked the code.

Called the Green Performance, Linde Material Handling has innovated a wide range of future-ready products that are high on performance, low on emissions, and amazing in sustainability. From ethically and ecologically sourced materials to electrically powered equipment, Linde Material Handling is leading the way in tackling environmental issues with performance and sustainability.

What is Green Performance?

Linde Material Handling is offering a wide range of solutions and products that have been developed to reduce emissions without compromising on the quality of performance and profitability. These include consultation services for clients who want to switch to cleaner forms of energy and optimize their current energy systems, and sourcing materials in the most eco-friendly way. We have also created technological solutions and have equipped our industrial material handling equipment with these solutions to contribute to Green Performance.

Technological Advancements by Linde

Li-ION Power: With the perfect balance of flexibility and energy efficiency, Linde has developed power units made from lithium-ion that are vastly superior to the current generations of lead-acid power units. Our power units have a much higher energy density, so you get more electrical output, and you can charge these units whenever required without worrying about spontaneous charging issues.

Counterbalanced Forklift Trucks: Linde Material Handling is the only forklift manufacturer in India and the world to make forklift trucks on a universal platform that can be fitted with the engine of the customers’ choice. Yes, customers have the complete freedom to choose the engine from options like diesel, gas, lead-acid, and lithium-ion. This process also ensures minimal pollution in manufacturing.

Heavy-duty Electrical Forklifts: There was a time when electrical forklifts were easily outperformed by diesel engine forklifts. Hence, these forklifts were not a part of heavy operations but that has changed now. Linde Material Handling’s newest range of forklift trucks is capable of handling heavy weights and delivering long hours of work. The X20 to X35 models are great for handling weights up to 5 tonnes, and the E100 to E180 models can handle weights up to 18 tonnes. And yes, these are zero-emission forklift trucks.

Green Performance Benefits

Reduced Emissions: The primary benefit of Green Performance is the reduction in carbon emissions. The technologies developed are a part of most of Linde’s new range of material handling equipment, and companies can make a huge dent in their carbon footprint by switching to them.

Increased Performance: Through comprehensive R&D, Linde Material Handling has managed to create products that deliver low emissions without compromising performance. Material handling equipment is used for heavy-duty laborious work, so performance was an important criterion and there has been no compromise on that. The newer range of equipment can truly perform better.

Profitability: Thanks to the excellent performing capabilities, the equipment requires much less power and maintenance compared to the older machines, which directly reduces the overall costs, adding positively to the bottom line. Green Performance has made being environmentally conscious profitable.

Linde Material Handling’s Green Performance is a game changer in the material handling industry. From material-handling stackers to electric forklift trucks, every product is going to make a difference and inspire companies to switch to green technologies.
