Crown earns third IFOY Award

The award was presented at the CeMAT trade fair in Hanover. Crown’s RT 4000 Series of rider pallet trucks took the prestigious award in the “Warehouse Trucks Lowlifter” category. 

Over the IFOY testing period in February, the independent jury of internationally respected trade journalists was impressed by the customer benefits delivered by the RT 4020 stand-up rider pallet truck. The IFOY test report stated that “the Crown RT 4020 is ideal for users with very limited operating space who need high productivity. The pallet truck’s narrow design is, for example, perfect for pallet put-away in very confined spaces. The transverse operator platform provides good visibility in both directions.”

According to the Jury, the deciding factor was the extremely high productivity in tight spaces. "A compact design for the level of performance, important ergonomic features and, in particular, a range of safety features are implemented into this machine in an excellent fashion."

With a load capacity of up to 2,000 kg, the Crown RT 4020 stand-up rider pallet truck combines rugged, powerful lift-truck technology with safety features to deliver both responsiveness and reliability. Thanks to a chassis width of just 780 mm, its manoeuvrability and performance is suitable for fast-paced dock work. The AC motor is capable of powerful acceleration at speeds of up to 12.5 km/h. For ride comfort, the RT 4020 features a suspended floorboard plus a wraparound, soft-foam lean pad, and can be configured with right-hand or left-hand steering as required.
