Battery Powered Pallet Jacks
Crown Equipment Corporation designs, manufactures and sells a wide range of pallet jacks, battery powered for the support of material handling and storage. The company has been providing superior quality service since 1956 and continues to evolve, distinguishing itself from the competition with highly innovative designs. Pallet trucks on offer range from the smallest hand pallet jack to the highest lifting turret jack all aimed at providing the user with safe, ergonomic and efficient products at low cost and decreased downtime.
Crown’s range of battery operated electric powered pallet trucks for the manufacturing, retail and warehousing industries are pedestrian operated, walk-behind models with ergonomically designed handle control for reduced fatigue and stress, easy control and heavy load bearing strengths. The new handle apparently needs only 50-70 percent hold down force when compared to other pallet jacks and the brakes can be operated from either the upper or lower ends of the tiller position to provide greater operator safety.
Other product features are the new 5 point suspension system to improve traction and stability especially on uneven surfaces. The narrower design of the unit makes handling applications and block stacking easier. It can enter narrow areas far more easily than the standard pallet and has excellent maneuverability despite its small turning radius that is heightened by the brake override feature. The pallet truck can be driven at creep speed with the control handle in an upright position.
The WP2000 traction pallet jacks, battery powered can be operated for a longer time period on a single charge due in large part to the energy saving design and the use of SEM technology. You will be glad to know that servicing costs for such superior equipment in at the low end of the scale. One of the reasons is the fact that technicians can work much faster and more efficiently on the machine due to component coded wiring and access to contactor tips, drive motor brushes and brakes. The larger operations can make use of a performance and diagnostic handset that is touted to provide accurate troubleshooting support, reporting functions and performance adjustment; this will help reduce downtime in a big way.
The operators of the pallet jack can customize the unit’s travel performance to meet individual skill levels, beginning with a novice all the way up to the skilled operator to ensure safe operation. Operators begin to appreciate the ergonomic design after using the equipment for some time and then feel they cannot do without it. This series includes a ride on pallet truck that has a spring loaded platform that flips down to allow the operator to ride on the pallet truck for faster travel in very long aisles or open spaces. There are side restraints to protect the operator that can be folded outward during travel.
Finally we have the Crown narrow aisle truck series designed to deliver high performance, fast travel times and greater load bearing capacity for AC and DC reach pallet trucks. These trucks are designed to maneuver successfully in aisles not much wider than the truck itself and it combines full pallet handling or case picking and pallet handling.
