Crown Equipment Corp., New Bremen, Ohio, introduced the Crown WAV 60 Series work assist vehicle, designed to help achieve a greater level of safety, efficiency and flexibility for applications where ladders are typically used to access high places.
Better known as the Wave, the Crown Work Assist vehicle is ideal for workers receiving, shipping and stocking/shelving small loads and/or products in busy, confined spaces, as well as order picking and order fulfillment. It can travel and lift simultaneously, so operators can move efficiently around a facility while raising and lowering to the appropriate heights in one smooth, seamless operation. The Wave’s AC drive motors and controls increase travel speeds to 5 mph. The on-board operating system enables optimum performance and control through intelligent coordination of operator prompts, lift/lower operations, steering and braking, performance levels and other vehicle systems.
