SC 4500 Series Provides Power and Control

Logistics Asia - New Products, 14/4/2008

For lift truck operators, performance and control are always uppermost in their minds. Crown Equipment Corporation delivers with its new SC 4500 Series sit-down counterbalance lift truck. Engineered to create long-term value, Crown carefully integrates every component of the SC 4500 Series creating an optimized lift truck system.

Several innovations help operators and owners realize increased uptime. These include:

· Access 123 Comprehensive System Control monitors and controls all systems on the SC 4500 Series to ensure superior performance and reliability.

· The Intrinsic Stability System helps keep the SC 4500 in a safe operating condition by monitoring performance based on the current operating environment such as the lift truck’s direction, speed, wheel angle, fork position and the weight of its load.

· The new e-GEN Braking System significantly reduces maintenance costs by eliminating adjustments, fluid leaks and other wearable parts. The system leverages the torque of the Crown AC motors with other integrated systems, replacing traditional maintenance-intensive brakes. In addition to consistent pedal feel, the e-GEN system also provides variable motor braking and an automatic parking brake.

· The InfoPoint System delivers faster, simpler and higher quality service and troubleshooting with quick reference guides and on-truck component maps.
