Additional Notes

  • All five configurations in the Linde 356 series covered here share a uniform cooling system capacity of 52 liters, a figure that reflects the total volume of the entire cooling circuit rather than a partial service top-up amount.
  • A 52-liter cooling system capacity is notably large and consistent with the demands of a heavy-duty industrial engine. The Cummins QSM11 is an inline six-cylinder diesel displacing approximately 10.8 liters, and engines of that displacement class typically require substantial coolant volumes to manage thermal load across the block, cylinder head, and ancillary circuits.
  • The H420 and H460 variants, despite differing in rated lift capacity, share the identical 52-liter cooling system specification, indicating that the underlying Cummins QSM11 engine installation and cooling circuit architecture are common across those models in the 356-01 build.
  • The H460 appears in three distinct configurations within the 356-01 series: the standard H460, the H460 GPCH/2, and the H460 GPCH/3. All three carry the same 52-liter cooling system capacity, suggesting the GPCH variants differ in operational or attachment specification rather than in powertrain or cooling system layout.
  • The H480, the highest-capacity model listed in the 356 series here, also shares the 52-liter cooling system figure with the lower-rated H420 and H460 variants, pointing to a shared engine and cooling package across the full range of these diesel forklift configurations.
  • All rows are specified under normal use conditions, which in fluid capacity contexts typically refers to standard operating environments as opposed to severe-duty cycles involving extreme temperatures, heavy contamination, or continuous maximum-load operation.
