Versatile and user-friendly

The SC 6000 Series incorporates Crown’s proven ergonomics for operator comfort and control. For example, the low step height of 375mm and head clearance make it easier to get on or off the truck. Furthermore, the truck design gives operators unobstructed views in all directions – even when fitted with one of the many available cab options.

The partial cabin includes windshield, rear panel and roof with an optional reading light. The soft cabin features flexible doors with integrated magnets for weatherproof side protection. Even the hard cabin for outdoor use offers unobstructed sight lines in all directions including upwards. For all-weather protection, the hard cabin also comes with clear-view doors, two-way sliding windows and a heater option.

Regardless of the cabin option chosen, operators’ freedom of movement remains unimpaired. Thanks to a wide variety of other options – for controls, lighting, accessories and more – the lift trucks can be precisely configured to each customer’s specific needs.

Werner Drnec, purchasing and operations manager at Gebrüder Weiss Transport & Logistik, who tested the multifunction trucks prior to the market launch, reports: "The robust and durable Crown SC 6000 Series forklifts impress, both with their functional and ergonomic design, and their reliable and productivity-enhancing technology. The four-wheel model is exceptionally versatile and offers great ease of use, impressive hydraulic performance, and superb all-round visibility – even when a cab is fitted."

The solid design – including a robust chassis and a full-length, solid floor plate beneath the battery – keeps the truck in good shape in the toughest conditions and the most demanding applications. The steer axles feature massive steel/cast-iron construction and heavy-duty tapered roller bearings which enable the truck to withstand jolts as it travels over rough surfaces and dock boards. This long-life rear-axle steering system has been tested for thousands of hours – and yet even the four-wheel truck’s turning circle is said to be almost zero, making it almost as agile as the three-wheel version. A clear view of both front wheels facilitates taking advantage of the manoeuvrability this affords.
