2. Ergo-logic
The logical application of advanced ergonomic design principles.
The “all new” Linde E20C/600 – E30C/600 electric lift trucks represent a new standard of design
and engineering innovation. These four high-performance models, encompassing capacities of
4,500, 5,500, 6,000 and 6,500 lbs., clearly establish Linde as an industrial truck manufacturer at the
leading edge of ergonomic design excellence. The “all new” 347-Series trucks are distinguished by
a multitude of advanced standard features.
The exclusive Linde features outlined below illustrate Linde’s vision of excellence in the form of the
347-Series. Trucks so advanced they embody the application of sound ergonomic design principles
in a logical manner thus representing the “Ergo-logic” solution to the complex challenges posed by
21’st century truck users.

armrest is an integral
part of the seat
assembly any seat
adjustment by the
operator will automatically result in an ergonomically
proper matching adjustment of the armrest itself. The

and productivity with drastically reduced operator fatigue
and merchandise/truck damage.
