New from Crown Lift Trucks,
the C-5 gas-powered
counterbalance forklift
addresses issues associated with high
use and tough environments.

Crown engineers collaborated
with John Deere to co-develop a
durable, low-maintenance 2.4L LPG
industrial engine designed to meet
the needs of arduous applications.

The cast iron head is said to be 24%
better at absorbing heat than
aluminium. This makes it less likely
to warp.

The gear-driven camshaft means
no belt or chain to maintain. This
efficient design is zero maintenance
and gives consistent performance over
a typical lifespan. The accessory poly
belt is ribbed and maintained at the
required level of tension by an autotensioner,
removing the need to
manually adjust during service.

For operator comfort and
increased component life, two
internal balance shafts have been used
to virtually eliminate engine
vibrations. These low-friction parts
are said to provide refinement
without adding any heat.

Where high levels of dust or debris
exist, an optional on-demand cooling
system is available.
