When Henningsen Cold Storage, Hillsboro, Ore., needed pallet jacks and forklifts that were robust enough to hold up in a refrigerated application and could store more product at higher heights, the public refrigerated warehousing provider turned to Crown Equipment Corp., New Bremen, Ohio, for a solution.
That’s because Crown’s RM 6000 Series reach truck would maximize freezer space. The truck’s MonoLift rigid mast can reach 505 inches and deliver up to 1,000 pounds more capacity at height. The truck is equipped with forks that travel upward at a pace of 160 feet per minute. By offering a clear window of visibility at height and eye level, the truck also allows operators to move loads efficiently while reducing the risk of damage to product, racks and trucks.
