Counterbalance stacker performs the tasks of multiple lift trucks
Crown Equipment Corp., New Bremen, Ohio, introduced the Crown SHC 5500 Series counterbalance stacker, which performs efficient handling of loads weighing up to 4,000 pounds, a lift height from 114-172 inches and can easily work within 10-foot aisles.
Featuring power steering and reduced head length, the Crown SHC 5500 is designed to easily maneuver and position heavy loads in tight congested spaces on the dock, in the rack or on the warehouse floor. The design eliminates the need for outriggers and adds the ability to handle block stacking and loads that exceed the width of the truck. Electronic power steering minimizes steering effort and reduces fatigue, while the brake override feature facilitates operation with the handle in a nearly vertical position. The exclusive X10-degree handle places all control buttons in the optimum position for ease of operation with either hand and to minimize hand and wrist movement.
