Crown SC 5200 Series forklifts: Crown
Equipment Corp. presents the Crown SC
5200 Series of sit-down counterbalanced
forklifts, which are suitable for applications
ranging from dock work to transporting
and stocking. The new series features
what the manufacturer says is the
shortest three-wheel, 3,000-pound lifting capacity truck in the industry—the
Crown SC 5215—for applications
requiring additional maneuverability to work in limited spaces,
such as 10-foot aisles.
Customers can choose between Crown’s 36V or 48V AC systems, depending on application needs. These systems include
Crown’s integrated AC traction and hydraulic systems that
increase productivity with an efficient use of power. The system
features on-demand steering that reduces noise levels, a single
hydraulic motor designed for improved efficiency, and faster lift
speeds that can help maximize productivity. Forklifts in the series
support load capacities ranging from 3,000 to 4,000 pounds.
The SC 5200 Series also offers ergonomic features, including
easy-to-reach controls to help minimize operator arm movement
and stress. Crown’s FlexSeat delivers superior comfort through an
exclusive suspension, responsive back flex, and wider seat cushion. Visibility is enhanced through design considerations such as
operator-forward seating and mast configuration.
The lift trucks are equipped with the Crown Access 1 2 3
Comprehensive System Control, which monitors and controls all
systems of the Crown SC 5200. The Intrinsic Stability System uses
Crown Access 1 2 3 to monitor performance based on the operating environment, such as the lift truck’s direction, speed, wheel
angle, and fork position. For example, the forklift automatically
limits travel speeds based on lift height. (Crown Equipment Corp.,

Water Wise battery watering cap: Flow-Rite offers its Water
Wise flip top battery watering cap. Water Wise limits an automatic watering gun’s nozzle depth without the aid of an O-ring
or mechanical stop that requires tools for adjustment. This allows
for reliable electrolyte levels every time and prohibits interference
with the battery’s moss shield.
Water Wise is durable enough to withstand demanding industrial applications. The caps sit well below the inter-cell connectors
to reduce the risk of being accidentally dislodged. (Flow-Rite,
