Pallet truck: Crown Equipment Corp. has
introduced the Crown RT 4000 Series pallet
truck. The award-winning pallet truck features a highly maneuverable, compact design
ideal for very confined, congested dock and
aisle applications.
Whether operators are working on tight
docks or in narrow aisles, the Crown RT Series
pallet truck’s intuitive controls, standard electronic power steering, powerful acceleration,
and short head length all
work together to optimize maneuverability.
This flexibility in confined
spaces is one of the main
reasons the truck won
the International
Forklift Truck of
the Year (IFOY)
Award in the
“Warehouse Trucks
Lowlifter” category last year.
The new trucks were designed
with operator comfort in mind. The proven
left-hand steer tiller design, along with easy-to-use traction and lift/lower controls that
match the intended truck direction, delivers
smooth-response operation that helps minimize shoulder and arm fatigue. The wrap-around, soft foam lean pad provides operators with a comfortable surface, especially
during long transport or strenuous applications throughout the shift. (Crown Equipment
