    Crown WT 3000 Pallet Truck. A 2012 Red Dot Award Winner. The battery-powered, zero-emission WT 3000 pallet truck sets new standards in terms of robustness, performance and operator comfort. It is particularly suitable for tough applications in modern warehouses. The heavy-duty metal covers, which protect the truck against impact and damage, are contured into smooth and clean surfaces. The operator-platform suspension system, with its weight-adjustable functionality, is a one-of-a-kind feature in this sector.

    RC 5500 Series Rider Counterbalance Lift Truck. IDEA Gold Winner. The Crown RC 5500 Rider Counterbalance Lift Truck sets new design standards for operator comfort, visibility and task support.

The RC has the largest operator compartment in its class. The top covers form a large open desktop with document clip and storage areas, allowing paperwork and tools to be positioned where needed.
