Crown launches RT 4000 pallet truck

Leading forklift firm says its latest rider pallet truck bristles with innovative and ergonomic features

Crown Equipment has expanded its range of rider pallet transporters, with the new RT 4000 Series boasting a load capacity of up to 2000kg.

The model is available in stand-up or sit-down variants, with the former able to be configured for right-hand or left-hand steering.

Sit-down models feature a height-adjustable floorboard with 60mm of travel, giving operators the most comfortable sitting position possible on a durable, ergonomic seat that can easily be adjusted to accommodate individual operator weight and leg length.

Sit-down models are also fitted with a low entry step for convenient entry and exit.

A suspended, shock-reducing floorboard enhances ride comfort on stand-up models while a wraparound, soft-foam lean pad provides further support.

Designed and developed at Crown's European headquarters in Munich, Germany, the RT 4000 is powered by an AC motor that can propel it to a top speed of 12.5km/h.

Safety is enhanced by an Entry Bar Safety Switch, with slows the RT 4000 to a stop when the operator places a foot on the entry bar or outside the truck's perimeter.

The model has already proven its worth, receiving an iF Design Award in the Vehicles category for 2016.
