Keeping the overview with us
We are your competent partner for the construction, maintenance and optimization of your forklift fleet. Decades of experience and hundreds of successful customer projects enable us to provide you with individual and targeted advice. In doing so, we not only consider your industrial truck fleet, but the big picture: your entire logistics.
After a comprehensive analysis of your fleet, your material flow and your logistics processes, we create a concrete catalog of measures for efficient deployment optimization.
Linde FleetConsult
FleetConsult takes the first step towards fleet optimization. During an on-site analysis, Linde experts take a close look at the customer's entire intralogistics and fleet structure. They do not focus solely on vehicles, but analyze all process flows. They evaluate fleet data, such as operating hours and distances traveled, using analysis software.
Based on the information obtained, the experts at Linde create a new fleet concept that is precisely tailored to your intralogistics needs. After the planning phase, the new concept is implemented together.
Linde FleetMonitoring
For productive and proactive fleet management, you need to know how your forklift fleet is being used. No matter how big the fleet is or how it is composed: The FleetMonitoring reporting tool offers the connect application: a tool for efficient fleet management. Thanks to the software, you always know which vehicles are currently in use at which location.
FleetMonitoring presents all data simply and clearly. At a glance, you get all the information you need for proactive fleet management. In this way, FleetMonitoring helps to reduce operating, process and communication costs.
Linde FleetManagement
FleetManagement ensures proactive fleet management with ongoing optimization and adjustment measures. If the Linde experts identify necessary adjustments or changes, they are implemented in consultation with the customer. If necessary, drivers are trained on new equipment.
The Linde experts review the new processes at regular intervals and adapt them to the changed circumstances. On request, FleetManagement can also take over all administrative tasks relating to the vehicle fleet (e.g. vehicle creation in the management software).
This allows you to concentrate fully on your core business. You are kept up to date on the status of your vehicle fleet in regular coordination meetings. If you experience major fluctuations in demand, you will be supported by the targeted provision of stand-by vehicles or flexible access to the Linde rental fleet. This allows you to bridge bottlenecks and peak times quickly and unbureaucratically.

Transparent comparison of drive technologies
As part of your sustainability strategy, GRUMA analyzes and documents the environmental impact of products over their entire life cycle using life cycle assessments.
The exhaust emissions of IC engine-powered forklifts were examined - with a sensational result: Linde diesel forklifts are the cleanest in the largest sales segment, the 2.5 to 3.5 tonne load capacity range! And in the other load capacity classes up to 2.5 tons and from 4 to 8 tons, Linde diesel trucks are also among the lowest-emission vehicles.
With its diesel forklift trucks Linde H25 to H35 EVO, Linde MH is the only forklift truck manufacturer to comply with the strict Stage IIIB of the emission directives 97/68/EC and 2004/26/EC for mobile machinery, which has been in force in the 37 to 55 kW power class since January 2013. Equipped with a modern common-rail diesel engine with an output of 44 kW and a particulate filter as standard, the vehicles not only meet the legally prescribed limit values for emitted pollutants, but also fall below them many times over. The value of the emitted particulate mass (PT) is 83 percent below the limit value, for hydrocarbons (HC) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) it is 26 percent and for the dangerous respiratory poison carbon monoxide (CO) it is even 99 percent.
At the same time, the battery-powered vehicles from Linde are among the most economical devices and lead the consumption statistics. This means that Linde electric forklift trucks and warehouse trucks not only perform better, they also consume less.
Let us prove it and we will calculate your eco-balance now and after the exchange to a new fleet.
Longer forklift operating times, an optimal mix of the fleet, high transparency through technical solutions and extremely high availability make it possible to achieve meaningful and economically necessary savings in many projects.
Let us discover savings potential for you, too!
Our life consultants analyze the current state of your logistics organization free of charge and use this information to develop customized solutions and implementation targets. In doing so, we take a close look at the existing vehicle technology and the resulting follow-up costs. This means: analysis of the routes as well as the rack storage functionality. We use new technical assistance options such as RFID, supported booking in the LVS (warehouse management system), the use of a forklift guidance system, route trains and our online fleet tool. This allows us to reduce the number of vehicle units, which increases utilization and avoids follow-up costs.
Act and react effectively with GRUMA
The term Key Performance Indicator (KPI) refers to the most important key figures that relate to the success, performance or utilization of the operation, its individual organizational units or a machine.
Do you know the critical success factors in your business environment? How often do you check them? Let the experts at GRUMA analyze the right data in your core supplier area, prepare the basis for decision-making and make recommendations.
Here is an overview of the most important key performance indicators for your forklifts: Permanent. Preventive. Reliable.
Forklift fleets can be assessed quickly and reliably on the basis of a number of criteria. These criteria are evaluated, compared and analyzed by Linde Fleet Experts. To do this, we use a database of comparable vehicles from your industry, which provides more information about your profitability.
We act continuously and preventively so that you can react correctly in your market environment.
Statistics on the individual key performance indicators can also be accessed via the system. In addition, we offer you the option of displaying performance statistics on the ratio of input to output. How did the fleet expenditure relate to the pallet turnover in recent years? How many hectoliters were produced per operating hour? Why have actual forklift hours decreased in relation to the product produced?
Let us clarify these questions for you. We look forward to your call.
The process of constant change is the cornerstone of future success
Kaizen is a philosophy of life and work that focuses on the pursuit of continuous improvement. The aim of continuous improvement is not just to find new ideas.

This includes the fundamentals of process analysis, supplier relationships, quality management and a holistic approach in the sense of GRUMA fleet management.
The Linde Fleet Experts concept
Structured collection of relevant fleet data, analysis of collected data, reporting, periodic coordination meetings, implementation of measures, sustainability monitoring.
That is part of our philosophy. Concentrate on your core tasks and let us work out the impulses in fleet management. No change means standstill and standstill means your profitability in the long run. Let us work together on a positive change in your company's profitability. We look forward to your call.

Everything in view - everything from a single source
The web-based online tool from GRUMA was developed in 2010/2011 to meet the requirements of the market and the development of the fleet business. Two key aspects influenced the basic decision to implement the tool: the usual and necessary transparency and the up-to-dateness of the fleet parameters.
