Order picker: Crown Equipment Corp. has introduced the
Crown MPC 3000 Series order picker. Combining the versatility
of a counterbalanced forklift with the capabilities of a pallet
truck, the MPC Series features a high-lift mast that gives operators the flexibility to pick orders as well as stack, replenish, and
transport pallets using a single lift truck.
The Crown MPC Series is suitable for a variety of applications—
ranging from unloading at the dock to transport and putaway–
which helps save time and increase throughput. Operators can
raise and lower the forks as they build pallets at a comfortable
height, minimizing back strain and saving time. Overhead visibility is improved thanks to an overhead guard design that provides
a better view for operators who need to position forks and
loads at height. Sensors monitor steer wheel angle, fork height,
and load weight to adjust speed and acceleration for smooth
cross-docking and long-distance transport.
The counterbalance design of the Crown MPC Series provides
full clearance of the forks from the load wheel, which eliminates
the need to provide extra clearance between pallets and under
conveyors as would be necessary with a typical straddle-style
outrigger. This approach allows operators to save space by
packing pallets closer together and conserve effort by fitting
under conveyors more easily. The truck’s heavy-gauge steel skirt
and chassis reduce truck damage in demanding and congested
applications by protecting valuable truck components, while the
sturdy I-beam mast design enables the truck and operator to
confidently handle full capacity loads at height.
The spacious operator compartment, combined with a low
step height, accommodates operators of various sizes while
providing ample room for task movements and comfortable
entry and exit of the truck. The Crown MPC Series can also be
used with a range of Work Assist accessories. (Crown Equipment

Weighing instrument: Fairbanks Scales Inc. has released the
latest generation of the FB6000 weighing instrument, featuring
a new, dynamic Web interface that enables rapid calibration and
custom ticket formatting.
The FB6000 is ideal for all midrange single truck scale applications, including in/out, gross/tare/net, and basic (one button) in/out weighing,
Web interface, reducing time
spent on calibration and custom
ticket formatting to mere minutes.
Custom ticket formats are created with simple “drag and
drop” functionality. The interface automatically reformats for
viewing compatibility across most mobile phones, tablets, lap-tops, and desktop devices. The interface can also be used to
run reports and enter vehicle data. (Fairbanks Scales Inc., www.
