Improved comfort & productivity

Minimising the impact of shock and vibration on operators standing on truck platforms, while at the same time maximising stability and comfort, Crown has incorporated its new FlexRide floating operator suspension system in two new lift truck lines: the WT 3000 series of powered pallet trucks and the RC 5500 series of stand-up counterbalanced trucks. The system includes a patented weight adjustment feature that allows operators to adjust the suspension to suit their individual bodyweight, for even greater comfort.

The low step on the WT 3000 and RC 5500 Series makes it easier for drivers to step in and out of the truck during a shift, which means they can work faster and more efficiently. Further highlights of Crown's stand-up design include soft touch points with shock-absorbing padding, a contoured design and unrivalled workspace. Electronic steering is standard on the RC 5500 and optional on the WT 3000.
