See below for a list of just some of the innovative intelligent assistance systems we’ve launched over the years - there’s far too many to fit into one page! ![]() This includes reducing risks to the operator, personnel, equipment and warehouse. Linde safety solutions have been developed to ensure they address the specific safety requirements of individual businesses. From outstanding operator visibility to industry leading ergonomics and the inherent anti roll back assurance of our hydrostatic drive system - our commitment to safety is second to none. One of the key reasons our customers tell us that they’ve chosen Linde over a competitor is safety. In 2005, the business officially changed its trading name to Linde Material Handling and that is where we find ourselves today! A HISTORY BUILT ON SAFETY In 1989 Linde AG acquired Lansing Bagnall and became Linde Lansing. ![]() Linde started in Australia under the name Lansing Bagnall and was based in Lidcombe, NSW. In 1970 Australia was introduced to Linde’s innovative forklift technology. OVER 50 YEARS OF KEEPING AUSTRALIAN’S SAFE Nine years later in 1968 the 314 replaced the Hubtrac and remained in production until 1980. It was the first forklift to include a hydrostatic transmission, revolutionising the industry. In 1959 the Hubtrac, ancestor of all Linde forklift trucks, was produced. This technological innovation created efficiencies that saved on fuel, reduced tyre wear and improved safety. This was the first transport vehicle with Linde’s patented hydrostatic drive, which provided seamless acceleration, both forwards and backwards, with full engine power and without the need for a transmission. I find the Lindes to be great machines to use and now that we have spent countless hours gettting them to be more reliable by doing the obvious things that the factory should done in the first place they are actually starting to become reliable.In 1955 the Hydrocar was introduced. We are now into the AC drive Lindes and it is too early to tell how they will go. Except for blowing it's controller up and a lockup because of a sticking valve, it has been reasonably reliable. This same warehouse also has an H20 hydrostatic on LPG. I wo'nt even go into troubles and woes with the T20S pallet carriers. During all this time the Nissans which are all at least twice as old as the Lindes required nothing other than routine servicing. We had one of the big steering bearings on the drive unit wear out very quickly because the factory/importer never greased it. The same problem occurred with the later model except that it had a side mounted regen braking contactor as well to wear out (when will they learn?). The forward/reverse contactor needed it's coils replaced regulary because they were mounted lying on their side (they last forever if mounted upright). Rams and plumbing leaked regulary and the drive motors over heated because of the Mickey Mouse cooling system. After replacing all the pumps twice the brand suddenly changed and there has been no trouble since. They blew hydraulic pumps every few months and power steer motor armatures packed it in at about the same rate. These early Lindes were terrible and were forever breaking down. This particular warehouse used 6 R14's and 4 old Nissans. I have been working on Linde R14 reach trucks since 1996.
