Award winning design

26 September 2013

A winner of the BITA Design for Safety Award, the Crown WT 3040 rider powered pallet truck was judged to have made a measurable contribution to improving safety awareness through its innovative Entry Bar Safety Switch.


The bar is integrated into the leading edge of the fixed platform and is designed to stop the truck immediately if the operator’s foot ventures outside the truck and depresses the switch. This means the rear-entry truck will not move until the operator’s feet are within the perimeter of the truck; if a foot strays outside the confines of the truck, stepping onto the Entry Bar Safety Switch, the truck will immediately stop.
