Crown Equipment has launched its new low-cost WP 3010 series pallet truck
Designed and manufactured in Germany, the Crown WP 3010 features an AC drive motor combined with Crown’s e-Gen regenerative braking system for performance, reliability, long battery life and maintenance-free braking.
Crown Equipment director – sales and marketing Graig Kenchington says the WP 3010 series’ competitive pricing will bring Crown to a whole new market segment.
“Crown has made a power pallet truck with compact dimensions, so it’s ideal for moving and positioning loads quickly and safely in confined storage spaces,” Kenchington says.
“In doing so, it has also compressed the entry price of the Crown WP Series model line-up.
“It means that you no longer need to sacrifice quality, longevity and ergonomics to have an affordable power pallet truck,” he adds.
In terms of specs, the WP 3010 series’ short (500mm) head length, fork length of up to 1150mm, built-in charger and low weight (279kg without battery) make it nimble and convenient – perfect for back-of-truck work.
In terms of load capacity, the WP 3010 can carry up to 1600kg, while its heavy-duty gearbox, robust helical gear set, optimised steel structure and high-tensile steel forks highlight the pallet trucks’ solid build quality.
The WP 3010 series also features the same cast aluminium Crown X-10 handle used on the rest of the WP series range.
“This new model is perfectly at home doing kerbside deliveries, transport on truck beds as well as retail applications and even manufacturing environments,” Kenchington says.
