Lindner

What Lindner does

Lindner (legal name: Traktorenwerk Lindner GesmbH) is a privately held, family-owned Austrian manufacturer of compact tractors and transporters, headquartered in Kundl, Tyrol since 1948. The company specializes in vehicles engineered for Alpine terrain and municipal year-round use, serving alpine mountain farmers, grassland operators, municipalities, industrial and cable-car operators, and ski resorts across Europe. The product portfolio centers on two series: the Lintrac tractor line (offering both continuously variable ZF transmissions and powershift variants, with optional 4-wheel steering) and the Unitrac transporter line, with power outputs spanning 55 kW (76 PS) to 129 kW (175 PS). Lindner manufactures critical components in-house at Kundl, including front axles and cabins, while integrating ZF CVT transmissions, Perkins and FPT diesel engines, and Bosch-Rexroth hydraulics, governed by its proprietary LDrive control concept and Smart Lift automation.

Lindner reaches customers through a contracted Vertragshändler dealer network and regional sales managers (Gebietsverkaufsleiter) across Austria, Germany, Switzerland, France, Canada, Scandinavia, Slovenia, and South Tyrol, supplemented by a digital parts shop, the TracRent rental portal, and the BBG public procurement channel for Austrian municipalities. The company produces approximately 1,200 machines per year with 253 employees, generating more than half of revenue from export markets. Auxiliary revenue streams include a 0.99% Drittelfinanzierung installment financing program, parts and accessories, service contracts, and driver training. The Lintrac 160 LDrive, launched in 2025 and entering serial production in May 2026, was awarded Farm Machine 2026 in the Allround-Traktoren category at Agritechnica, marking the company's most significant push into higher-horsepower arable farming alongside its traditional Alpine niche.
