Press releases N.C. Nielsen is now ready to deliver the new Linde 1251 electric forklift – considered the most efficient and powerful truck on the market today. The truck is the result of many years of development at Linde, and the new portfolio of high-performance electric trucks meets virtually every conceivable transport requirement in modern logistics, with lifting capacities ranging from 1.4 to 2.0 tonnes.

The Linde 1251 models represent a new generation of innovative electric forklifts. The series replaces the popular Linde 386 series, of which more than 200,000 units have been sold worldwide and which has set the standard in the category for two decades. The new Linde 1251 series take performance to a new level, thanks to targeted research, analysis, development, and deep insight into specific customer needs.

An extensive TÜV Nord test compared the Linde 1251 models to competing brands. The results clearly demonstrated that Linde 1251 offers superior performance, operating economy, and lifetime value. These results form a strong foundation as N.C. Nielsen introduces the new model to customers:

"It adds significant credibility that we can document Linde’s high efficiency and strong economic advantages. We have a comprehensive data set available that enables us to advise our customers with confidence. The new Linde electric forklifts deliver real value and contribute to a more sustainable, safe, and comfortable working environment”, says CEO Max H. Nielsen of N.C. Nielsen.

With the Linde 1251 series, N.C. Nielsen offers the most comprehensive range on the market. A total of 26 different models have been developed – both three- and four-wheel variants of the Linde E14-E20 and Linde Xi10-Xi20 trucks. With varying battery capacities, chassis sizes, and steering axle configurations, each truck can be optimally tailored to meet individual logistics challenges with maximum efficiency.

Linde E14-E20

All Linde E-models can be delivered with your choice of energy system: lead-acid batteries, Lithium-ION, or soon with hydrogen-based fuel cell technology. This flexibility is reinforced by N.C. Nielsen’s in-house development of Lithium-ION batteries at their Balling facility – work that is carried out in close collaboration with each customer.

Thanks to the plug-and-play concept, companies can also reuse existing batteries or switch between battery types without any retrofitting. This makes the Linde E14–E20 series the most flexible, versatile, and cost-effective indoor forklifts in their weight class.

The energy-optimised Linde 1251 electric forklifts are ready for action in no time. These compact machines are equipped with powerful asynchronous motors that enable a top speed of 20 km/h and deliver lifting and lowering speeds up to 20% faster than industry standards. This performance advantage provides a clear boost in on-site productivity.
