Lighting first: Linde E30 parts for electrics, seat and hydraulics

A Linde E30 working late shifts or in a dim warehouse is only as safe as its lights. That is why this page starts there. It lists more than 40 parts for the electric E30, from halogen bulbs and work lamps to seat cushions, gas struts and a couple of hydraulic fittings, made by GRANIT, HELLA, GRAMMER, BOSCH and MANN-FILTER.

Lights, mirrors and wipers

• halogen bulbs, including the H1 type used in headlights and work lights
• flood beam work lamps that light up the area in front of the forks
• an indicator and position light, plus a separate lens for when only the cover is cracked
• mirrors and metal bracket wiper blades
• switch symbols, a changeover relay and a round reflector

If bulbs keep failing on your E30, look beyond the bulb. A loose or corroded earth connection or plug creates heat in the holder and shortens bulb life. Clean the contacts before fitting a new one and handle the glass with a cloth, not bare fingers.

The round reflector is a small part that is easy to overlook, yet it keeps the E30 visible to other drivers when the lights are off. If the wiper blades chatter or streak, check the spring tension of the wiper arm while you change them, because a tired arm spoils a new blade within weeks.

Seat and gas struts

Worn upholstery does not mean a whole new seat. Seat cushions and back cushions in PVC for upper part 721 are available on their own, so the frame and suspension stay in place. One of the gas struts is made specifically for Linde trucks. Always compare the code on the old strut body with the one you order, because many struts look identical while force and stroke differ.

Hydraulic fittings

For the E30 hydraulic system there is a tank ventilation filter and a cutting ring for an adjustable elbow fitting. Treat a cutting ring as a one-time part. If the pipe is replaced or shortened, fit a new ring. Push the pipe in straight and fully home before tightening the nut, otherwise the ring bites unevenly and the joint keeps weeping.

Making sure it fits

Start with the data plate to confirm the truck is an E30. Then work from the reference number on the part you are taking off, whether that is on a filter housing, a bulb base or a strut. For seat cushions, the upper part number is what counts. If you run other trucks from this maker, their pages are under Linde parts.
