A 40001b capacity heavy-duty walkie-stacker has been added to the Crown Controls range.
The new truck is similar in appearance to the 1500, 2000 and 3000lb capacity trucks but features thicker and heavier forks and outriggers, it has tandem load-wheels in the outriggers, a larger hydraulic lift cylinder, and a special heavy-duty mast.
Power for lift and travel comes from a 24V electrical system and the truck is supplied with battery and charger.
Loads are power-lifted to heights ranging from 66in. to 154in. and 90deg stacking of 42in. x 42in. pallets is possible in aisles only 6ft 9in. wide.
The machine is fitted with Crown's control handle which features a wrap-around guard for operators' hands, dual twistgrips, providing leftor righthand control of three-speeds forward and reverse, full-width raise and lower buttons which enable the operator to alter height of load while moving to and from stacking area, and a spring-loaded handle which automatically returns to upright position.
It also has a third-speed cut-out switch, preventing accidental high speed in congested areas, and a special control device which prevents operator from being crushed if machine is accidentally put into reverse gear. A mechanical brake is actuated by lowering, or releasing the handle.
The stacker is available in straddle and non-straddle versions.
