Crown Forklift Trucks


A forklift is one of the strongest and most dependable equipments for any construction, warehouse, shipping, or manufacturing company. The daily operations of such businesses require the use of forklifts (these include moving numerous pallets or big boxes). These can be quite hazardous if the forklift truck is operated by the wrong hands or if the quality of the vehicle is questionable. Either way, tragedy could ensue or life could be lost.

Crown Equipment Corporation in the UK is located at 5631 Devon Road Brixton New Plymouth Taranaki. They specializes in providing the following products and services:

    * Forklift sales
    * forklift hire
    * Forklift Petrol or LPG
    * forklift rentals
    * Forklift Seroica
    * Pallet trucks
    * Materials handling

Crown forklift trucks are one of the most sought-after forklifts around the globe. This is because Crown Equipment Corporation is still one of the leading manufacturers of industrial lift trucks. It currently ranks as the number 1 American manufacturer of electric narrow-aisle lift trucks.

Crown forklift trucks compete side by side with other industry giants such as Yale, Caterpillar, Hyster and Clark. A total of 25 of the major design awards for trucks were taken home by Crown forklift trucks in 1994. These honors, along with the excellent features of their forklifts, catapulted the name—Crown—to recognition.

Crown forklift trucks are now being distributed globally through major dealership contracts. Just like many industries all over the world, forklift truck manufacturers (especially those in the US and other European countries) have suffered from overbearing competition with Japanese companies in the 80’s.

But Crown forklift trucks are made of strong materials and are made by strong individuals as well. These trucks continued to be sold in the market along with its big competitors yet it still goes away with its big share of the pie.

Crown forklift trucks that are electrically-powered have been produced in the late 70’s and have since gained fair market share. The major advantages of electric forklifts are quiet operation, longer life, and cheaper repairs and maintenance; add to that the zero emission that are not detrimental to the environment.

Some of the latest models of Crown forklift trucks that are currently being sold are:

    * SC 4500 Series—these are 3-wheel counterbalanced trucks that have 3000-4000 pound weight capacity. It also boasts of precision control, superior visibility and maneuverability.
    * FC 4500 Series—are 4-wheel counterbalanced trucks that have 4000-6000 pound weight capacity. These models feature Technovation™ which is the fusion of technology and innovation. These features are evident on the Crown forklift trucks’ durable frames, power brakes and train, and enhanced productivity.

Crown definitely lives up to its name which depicts royalty and being the best.
