Description
The Linde Xi10–Xi20 (1251 series) is an electric three-wheel forklift from Linde, covering lifting capacities from 1.0 tonne (Xi10) to 2.0 tonnes (Xi20). The Xi10–Xi20 is part of the Linde 1251 series, which brings together a wide range of compact electric counterbalance forklifts in the 1 to 2-tonne class.
Linde Xi10–Xi20 specs and lifting capacity:
The series covers lifting capacities from 1,000 kg (Xi10) to 2,000 kg (Xi20) with a maximum lifting height of 8,000 mm. 90-volt technology combined with synchronous reluctance motors and an integrated Li-ION battery delivers lift speeds up to 20 percent above the industry average and a top speed of 20 km/h. For full dimensions and technical specifications, see the product page for the Xi10–Xi20.
Compared to other Linde forklifts, the Xi10–Xi20 is the high-performance option in this weight class. The Linde E14–E20 (1251 series) is also a three-wheel model in the same family, but uses 48-volt technology and supports flexible energy solutions including lead-acid batteries, making it more versatile in terms of battery system choice. The Linde Xi10–Xi20 has an integrated Li-ION battery and 90-volt technology for the most intensive operating conditions.
The Linde Xi14–Xi20 R (1251 series) is also a three-wheel model with comparable performance, but is specialised for maximum visibility and is particularly well suited where the operator frequently drives in and out of containers, trucks or narrow racking aisles where visibility down to the fork tips is critical.
What sets the Xi10–Xi20 apart from conventional electric forklifts in this class is its 90-volt technology combined with synchronous reluctance motors and an integrated Li-ION battery without a battery tray. This delivers high lift speeds, a top speed of 20 km/h and full performance throughout the entire work shift without power loss towards the end of the charge cycle. The absence of a battery tray also provides significantly more legroom and a lower step-in height than competing models in the class.
Operating a forklift requires a forklift operator licence class T4, which can be obtained through a forklift operator course with us.
