Electric pallet trucks for use in ATEX zones
The introduction of the T16 EX to T20 EX series (photo) marks the debut of new compact pedestrian pallet trucks on the market. Featuring a robust chassis and reinforced forks, they are designed for loads of up to 2 tons. The models are available in the 2G/2D and 3G/3D equipment categories for ATEX zones 1/21 and 2/22. The narrow design, tight turning radius and intuitive steering and controls make the trucks quick and easy to maneuver in confined spaces. Explosion-protection measures include ignition protection against electrical and mechanical sparks, continuous temperature monitoring of relevant components and precautions to prevent electrostatic charging. Another new product available for explosion-protected counterbalanced trucks is the artificial intelligence (AI)-based Reverse Assist Camera system. It identifies people to the rear of the truck and alerts drivers of potential collisions. Hall 4.1, Stand G13 — Linde Material Handling GmbH, Aschaffenburg, Germany
