Crown Equipment Corp. presents the Crown SC 5200 Series of sit-down counterbalanced forklifts designed for multiple applications from dock work to transporting and stocking. The new series includes the Crown SC 5215, which is a very short, three-wheel, 3,000-pound-capacity lift truck for applications that requiring maneuverability for working in limited spaces, such as 10-foot aisles.

Customers can choose between Crown's 36V or 48V AC systems depending on application needs. These systems include Crown's integrated AC traction and hydraulic systems that increase productivity with an efficient use of power. The system features on-demand steering that lowers noise levels, a single hydraulic motor designed for improved efficiency, and faster lift speeds that can help maximize productivity. Forklifts in the series support load capacities ranging from 3,000 to 4,000 pounds.

The SC 5200 Series also offers ergonomic features, including easy-to-reach controls to help minimize operator arm movement and stress. Crown's FlexSeat delivers superior comfort through an exclusive suspension, responsive back flex, and wider seat cushion. Visibility is enhanced through design considerations such as operator-forward seating and mast configuration.

The lift truck is equipped with Crown Access 1 2 3 Comprehensive System Control, which monitors and controls all systems of the Crown SC 5200. The Intrinsic Stability System uses Crown Access 1 2 3 to monitor performance based on the operating environment, such as the lift truck's direction, speed, wheel angle, and fork position. For example, the forklift automatically limits travel speeds based on lift height.
