Description
The Linde H50–H80 (396 series) is a powerful forklift from Linde with an internal combustion engine, covering lifting capacities from 5.0 tonnes (H50) to 8.0 tonnes (H80). The series is available with a diesel engine and supports HVO diesel for a lower carbon footprint without technical modifications.
Linde H50–H80 specs, engine and lifting capacity:
The series covers lifting capacities from 5,000 kg (H50) to 8,000 kg (H80) with a maximum lifting height of 9,655 mm. Top speed is 23 km/h laden and unladen. Hydraulic oil replacement is only required after 6,000 operating hours. For full dimensions, engine specifications and technical data, see the product page for the H50–H80.
The Linde E60–E80 (1279 series) covers the same weight class electrically and is the natural choice where the operation requires emission-free indoor use. The Linde H50–H80 is the choice where the truck is primarily used outdoors, on uneven surfaces, over long distances or where charging infrastructure is not available. For operations requiring heavy lifting capacity but with lower load requirements, the Linde H35–H50 (1204 series) is an alternative in the mid-range class from 3.5 to 5.0 tonnes.
The drive system is hydrostatic direct drive without gearbox, clutch or drum brakes, providing precise and powerful travel in all situations while significantly reducing maintenance requirements. A torsion support in the mast reduces mast rotation at greater lift heights by up to 30 percent, and top-mounted tilt cylinders ensure stable load handling even at height.
The operator compartment is spacious with good legroom, an individually adjustable seat, armrest and steering column. All mast movements are controlled with fingertip precision via Linde Load Control integrated into the armrest, while twin-pedal steering provides efficient and precise travel in both directions. Axles, mast and tilt cylinder are decoupled from the chassis with elastomer mounts to protect the operator from vibrations. A 3.5-inch display showing vehicle information, steering angle and mast angle is standard.
Operating a forklift requires a forklift operator licence class T4, which can be obtained through a forklift operator course with us.
