Linde Scoop Design Award

Linde Scoop Design Award

Euronews, General
Linde Material Handling’s Roadster forklift has scooped a prize in the much-vaunted German Design Awards. An international panel of experts selected the vision-optimized version of the successful electric counterbalance truck series, Linde E20-E35, as one of the 2019 winners in the Utility Vehicles category. The unique vehicle concept, which eliminated the need for the traditional A-pillar, caused a stir in forklift construction when it made its debut in 2016.

Thanks to this creative solution, Linde Roadster drivers enjoy an almost unlimited all-round view, which makes their work not only much easier but also significantly safer. The German Design Awards jury agreed. Prior to...
