Hall 10 / Booth B21, B17 and C38
Intralogistics managers looking for efficient, future-proof solutions for in-house material flow at LogiMAT 2026 can find precisely what they need at the Linde Material Handling (MH) exhibition stand. There, they will discover comprehensive automation solutions, AI applications, digital systems, unique forklifts, and a new series of reach trucks. This year’s trade fair motto, “Composed around you,” underscores the Linde brand’s commitment to providing the best solution for every individual customer requirement as a holistic solutions provider.
When the doors to the Stuttgart Exhibition Center open on March 24, everything will be up and ready for visitors at Linde MH’s 600-square-meter exhibition booth (stand numbers B21, B17, and C38). A live demonstration at the centrally located stand in Hall 10 will showcase the company’s expertise and know-how in advancing toward automated warehouse processes. Vehicle exhibits offer the opportunity for hands-on interaction, while the latest digital solutions will be demonstrated on screens. Outside the hall, in the nearby loading yard between Halls 8 and 10, visitors can enjoy individual demonstrations or test-drive forklifts themselves to experience their exceptional ergonomic characteristics and user-friendliness. Another exhibition area offering consulting services is situated on the exhibition premises between Halls 9 and 10.
“Linde MH’s offering aims to make our customers’ in-house material flows more competitive. To this end, we ensure our range spans everything from cost-optimized offers to high-performance solutions based on innovative technologies,” states Dr. Monika Laurent-Junge, Senior Director of Marketing and Brand Communications at Linde MH.
In addition to its standardized automation portfolio, Linde MH will be showcasing tailor-made solutions for specific industry requirements at its trade fair stand, such as those for the beverage industry with complex and heavy load carriers. These are part of the customized Linde I-MATIC portfolio line, which can be used to implement solutions for a wide variety of load carriers, even those weighing over 3 tons. “Linde MH is among the select few industry providers that have attained mastery in the integration of standardized and customized automation solutions, along with stationary applications, such as the Linde S-MATIC cube shuttle solution,” says Torsten Rochelmeyer, Senior Director Strategy and Solution Portfolio at Linde MH. “Orchestrated by the Linde Warehouse Manager, a wide range of industry needs and process requirements can be met with a holistic automation approach.”
More safety and productivity through digital solutions
The myLinde customer platform is at the heart of the digital solutions. This cloud-based web portal integrates a comprehensive suite of central fleet management, safety and energy solutions and impresses with its intuitive and clearly structured operating concept. Concurrently, data-driven and increasingly AI-supported decision-making is becoming more prevalent. The integration of an AI chat function enables users to retrieve fleet data by simply asking questions in natural language. In doing so, the AI accesses all data for vehicles registered in myLinde, ensuring a particularly simple, fast, and scalable interaction – a solution suitable for both small businesses and large corporate fleets.
Another highlight is the Real Time Locating System (RTLS+). It is based on proprietary localization technology developed in-house that can be installed efficiently and easily at any location – both indoors and outdoors. The precise real-time localization of manual industrial trucks enables a complete analysis of position and movement data. This provides fleet managers and safety officers with a transparent basis for evaluating safety-related situations, near misses, and shock events. RTLS+ also supports customers in the gradual transition to hybrid fleets that combine conventional and digitally connected vehicles. Its high degree of scalability makes it a central basis for modern digital safety and service offerings, offering both management and operational teams tangible added value.
New forklifts and warehouse trucks on display
Even though the automation solutions sector is growing rapidly, manually operated industrial trucks still dominate in many companies. That is why Linde MH will present numerous innovations in this segment as well. In the area of warehouse technology, the spotlight is on the new Linde Ri14, Ri16 and Ri18 reach trucks, which have load capacities ranging from 1.4 to 1.8 tons. Available in standard or narrow chassis versions, they are ideal for low- to medium-intensity replenishment tasks. These models feature an integrated lithium-ion battery and are compact and maneuverable, facilitating navigation in narrow aisles. Their ergonomic workplace design and numerous safety assistance functions protect and support operators while driving and storing and retrieving loads, forming the basis for trouble-free processes and high productivity. “With the introduction of these new models, Linde MH now offers an additional series for standard applications in its portfolio – one that is cost-effective without compromising quality, safety or user-friendliness,” emphasizes Torsten Rochelmeyer.
The new electric counterbalanced forklift series, which has a load capacity of up to 2 tons, successfully took its first steps last year on the road to becoming the benchmark in its segment. The Roadster model, which offers improved visibility, is a new addition to the lineup. Eliminating the A-pillar provides a wider field of vision, enhancing operational safety and enabling higher productivity. At the same time, the vehicle design meets the highest driver safety standards.
Finally, the future of intralogistics is taking shape with the help of physical AI and digital twins based on NVIDIA Omniverse, which are driving further optimization of logistics processes. The creation of 3D warehouse environment maps using portable scanners is already an established method for facilitating and accelerating automation project planning. Further development steps focus on the simulation and real-time control of fleets.
