Linde Forklift trucks, diesel (358 series)

Automatic transmission fluid capacity & service interval

Linde Forklift trucks, diesel (358 series) require 19,5 liters of Automatic transmission fluid. Maintenance intervals include a 10 hour check and a 1000 hour change. The data covers 4 configurations.

Additional Notes

  • All four variants in the Linde 358 series covered here — H120/1200, H140/1200, H160, and H160/1200 — share an identical powershift transmission fluid capacity of 19.5 liters. In heavy industrial equipment, a capacity at this level reflects a full transmission system fill rather than a partial service top-up, accounting for the fluid volume held within the torque converter, valve body, and internal passages of a powershift unit.
  • A powershift transmission, as noted for each of the four 358-01 configurations, uses hydraulic pressure to engage gear clutches without interrupting drive torque. Maintaining correct fluid level in such a system is directly tied to clutch pack performance and hydraulic circuit pressure, which explains the notably short 10-hour fluid level check interval specified across all variants.
  • The 10-hour check interval corresponds to normal use conditions. In forklift operation, a 10-hour cycle aligns roughly with a single standard work shift, meaning fluid level verification is effectively a pre-shift or post-shift routine task under normal operating conditions.
  • The fluid change interval for all four variants is set at 1000 hours under normal use. For a forklift operating on a single-shift schedule, 1000 hours represents approximately one to two years of accumulated service time, placing the drain interval in a range typical for powershift transmissions in industrial lift truck applications.
  • The Perkins 1006.60T engine is paired with the powershift transmission across all four 358-01 models listed. The 1006.60T is a six-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine, and its use across the H120/1200 through H160/1200 range indicates a shared powertrain platform within the 358 series, with the transmission fluid specifications remaining uniform across all engine-transmission combinations listed.
  • The H120/1200 and H140/1200 designations carry a "/1200" suffix alongside the H160/1200, while the H160 appears without a suffix variant in the same listing. Despite this distinction in model designation, the transmission fluid capacity and service intervals are identical across all four, indicating no differentiation in transmission specification between suffixed and non-suffixed models within the 358-01 build series.
