The trucks we have in our training centre are as follows:

Linde Reach R14

This is an electric reach truck and is equipped with a triplex mast with a 6 metre lift height.   A reach truck will usually work in a smaller space than a counterbalance because of it’s forwards and backwards reaching mast.  The reach truck will also turn within it’s own length.  This truck also has a side shift fitted as standard.

Linde Counterbalance E14

This is an electric counterbalance truck and is fitted with a triplex mast with a lift height of nearly 5 metres.  This truck also has a side shift fitted as standard.  It is a 3 wheeled truck which will turn within it’s own length.

Pedestrian Stacker L14

This is an electric pedestrian stacker truck and is fitted with a duplex mast with a lift height of 4.2 metres.  This is classed as a high level pedestrian stacker.  Once trained on this truck, you are also qualified to operate an eye level and low level pedestrian stacker.

Linde Counterbalance H16

This is a 4 wheeled gas powered truck fitted with a triplex mast with a lift height of 4.6 metres.  This truck is also fitted with a side shift as standard and has a maximum capacity of 1.6 tonnes.
