Advanced technology

According to Crown, advanced technology is evident in every detail – from the innovative, dual-radiator cooling system and ergonomic design through to the intelligent stability system, providing high reliability and productivity-boosting efficiency.

Available with lifting capacities of up to three tonnes, Crown C-5 lift trucks work through the longest shifts and in all kinds of weather while delivering a full range of performance even over rough terrain.

The 2.4-litre industrial engine is energy-efficient and produces minimal vibration. The gear-driven valve train eliminates the need for frequent belt replacements or chain adjustments while the power brake enclosure prevents the build-up of dirt and debris, which reduces maintenance costs.

The tough full-circle, four-piston braking system is highly durable and the hill hold function, fitted as standard, prevents the truck from rolling back down an incline – without requiring constant pressure on the brake pedal.

Kevin Cooper, Section Leader at Terex Trucks Motherwell in the UK, where the C-5 forklifts are already in operation, is impressed by their all-round performance: "We needed a tough truck for this application as the site is built on a hill and one of our main large-parts storage areas is at the top of the site. The Crown C-5 is very powerful, with enough torque to easily deal with the inclines, even when carrying heavy components.”
