The TSP 6000 Very Narrow Aisle Truck

Logistics Insight Asia - New Products, 3/3/2008

The TSP 6000, Crown’s new turret truck targeted at the warehousing segment, combines many new features to replace the work of 2 trucks namely the traditional reach truck and stockpicker to allow for full pallet put away and order picking.

By enhancing the speed of acceleration, travel, lift & lowering, as well as load handling, productivity is greatly increased.

Operators can travel at the same time as lifting the platform and also the auxiliary mast, which saves time on positioning the forks. There is a facility to program the forks to pivot into the racking safely and precisely, thereby saving on rack damage.

However, working at such great heights as 11.6m with load capacities of 1500kgs, can be unsettling for any experienced operator. Crown’s engineering coupled with exhaustive testing, has implemented many safety and control features to enable the operator to feel confident whilst working with the TSP 6000. Working securely translates into better efficiency and productivity.

The key to this productivity is Crown’s breakthrough Mono Mast which is a single boxed in design with heavy steel I beams tied together with massive cross beams giving the truck superior stability in order to avoid twisting and swaying at height which is often the case with competitor turrets.

The new Intelligent Braking System continuously monitors the operator lift height with other key variables and so adjusts braking at all heights to avoid any jolting of the mast and platform when the truck comes to a halt.

One of the added benefits of the TSP 6000 is that is works very well in narrow aisles of 1.8m, and being able to turn in a tight radius.
