Robustness and reliability are the most important selection criteria for the purchasers of new material handling equipment.
While the rest of the industry is outsourcing, Crown is unique in choosing to manufacture up to 85% of the components contained in our equipment. The result is a no compromise design with purpose- built components. For example, we use steel covers where others use plastic thereby reducing damage to both internal components and the truck.
Only Crown has this level of control over quality and costs. We engineer our trucks for the realities of the work environment.
The result is that Crown customers have reduced damage billing by up to 65% compared to the damage costs they had previously incurred.
Up to 70% of total lift truck costs are associated with the operator. So it stands to reason that an operator’s productivity, health and motivation are the key factors in overall productivity.
Crown has been the recipient of 80 design awards from world renowned institutions, such as International Design Forum, Red Dot and Good Design. These awards are judged not only for appearance but also for the benefits experienced through better operator control, comfort, visibility and safety, all of which contribute to warehouse efficiency.
Our customers recognise the value these awards represent to them as benefactors. “It was the drivers themselves, consulted by the management, who chose the new equipment”. Pierre Boucard, Adrimex.
Crown’s robust build quality naturally leads to superior reliability. Crown also has one of the lowest parts counts in the industry through the commonality of components used in our trucks. This means that our technicians are more likely to have the right component needed for the repair.
Crown also has developed a process for quick diagnostics and repair. Our unique Access 1 2 3 ® onboard system control allows for diagnostics and testing to take place without removing any covers or panels or the need for external handsets or computers. Once the diagnosis is complete, Crown’s unique component mapping further reduces search time to replace faulty components.
Product reliability is the no. 1 reason our customers give for choosing Crown lift trucks.
