Crown wins series of awards

“The 100-award milestone is humbling,” said Mike Gallagher, Vice President of Design, Crown Equipment. “We are honoured that some of the most prestigious design minds continue to recognise the work of our team. While the number 100 is easy to focus on, there are two other difficult-to-quantify metrics that really matter to us. The first is the number of forklift operators who have benefitted from our designs whether in ergonomics, safety, visibility or improved productivity, among others. The second is the number of Crown employees globally who have contributed to our traditional design excellence for over 50 years. They’re a very special group of people.”

The company achieved the design excellence milestone with recent recognition from two prestigious organisations. The Crown SC 6000 Series counterbalance forklift and Crown PTH Work Assist System both earned Good Design Awards from The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design and the European Centre for Architecture, Art, Design and Urban Studies.

The Crown WAV 60 Series won an award from the iF International Forum Design in the “Automobiles/Vehicles” category. 

The Crown SC 6000 Series is equipped with a fully adjustable, suspended seat for long-term operator comfort, even when working punishing 8-hour shifts.

The Crown PTH 50 Series is a manual pallet truck capable of moving palletised loads up to 2,300 kg. It is currently used in a wide variety of material handling applications.

The Crown WAV 60 Series is designed with features to help achieve a greater level of safety, efficiency and flexibility in situations where ladders are typically used to access high storage locations, such as those found in retail and manufacturing applications.
