Award-winning design

The RT 4000 rider pallet truck has a load capacity of up to 2000kg. The forklift combines powerful, robust technology with a range of safety features, agility, responsiveness and reliability. Both the stand-up and sit-down models are suitable for fast-paced dock work, and are said to offer outstanding transporting performance as well as exceptional manoeuvrability even in confined spaces.

Developed and manufactured by Crown, the RT Series’ AC motors are capable of powerful acceleration at speeds of up to 12.5 km/h.

“The RT 4000 Series represents a design concept that puts operators at the heart of the development process,” explains Jim Kraimer, director industrial design at Crown. “The result is a high-performance product that helps cut costs by improving productivity and safety in the warehouse.”

The stand-up model – which has also been nominated for an IFOY Award 2016 – features a suspended floorboard plus a wraparound, soft-foam lean pad and can be configured with right-hand or left-hand steering. Crown’s patented Entry Bar Safety Switch reduces the danger of injury to the operator’s feet by deactivating travel as soon as the operator places a foot outside the truck perimeter. The sit-down model is specifically designed to excel in long-distance, high-throughput applications. It is fitted with a fully suspended driver’s seat and height-adjustable floorboard. The elevated sitting position gives operators an excellent all-round field of vision.
