Operator Area and Controls
The PE 4000 Series has a new
operator platform which increases
operator comfort and produc-
tivity. Rounded edges and careful
placement of operator contact
points make the PE 4000 Series
user friendly. Contoured steel
doors allow for maximum
operator and foot room.
The Crown PE 4000 Series has a
microcellular composition floor
mat and a rubber knee pad for
improved operator comfort.
The Crown PE 4000 Series has
dual, soft urethane twist grips
with automatic return to neutral
when released. Two textures and
a unique “cam” design aid in
plugging, steering and long dis-
tance travel. On the control pod
are full width raise, lower, and
horn buttons for easy actuation.
Reversing button in control han-
dle reverses direction of travel if
button should come in contact
with operator. Soft urethane
operator grab bar provides
operator security and comfort.
Grab bar has raise, lower, horn
and high speed controls for
improved productivity.
One touch high speed allows op-
erators to activate the high speed
button once and not have to hold
the button down to travel in high
speed. High speed is deactivated
when the twist grip returns to neu-
tral or when the brake is applied.
The Quick Coast™ option allows
the truck to coast as the operator
walks down the aisle performing
low-level order picking. The Quick
Coast switch is conveniently
placed on the grab bar for easy
activation. The Quick Coast
option includes infinitely variable
handle positioning within the
coast range, and the audible and
visual feedback features remind
operators the Quick Coast option
is activated. The Quick Coast
option meets current ANSI/ASME
requirements.

option, normally used in conjunc-
tion with coast control or Quick
Coast™, assists an operator to
perform low-level order picking.
The QuickPick control handle has
two switches on each side of the
handle. The QuickPick control
handle activation allows the
truck to travel, power unit first,
at walking speed.
Many optional features for the
operator area and controls are
available to suit a wide range of
applications.
Electrical System
Heavy duty 24-volt electrical sys-
tem for demanding warehouse,
dock and transport applications.
The new 1404C separately excit-
ed traction control integrates
many of the operating features to
provide excellent control and reli-
ability. Directional contactors are
eliminated while traction speeds
have been improved for optimum
productivity. Crown manufac-
tured, separately excited, high
torque drive motor is application
designed for reliability and ease
of service.
Anti-tie down is a standard feature
designed to encourage proper
operation of the truck by deterring
the taping or tying down of the
high speed control button. A lift
limit switch operates at full lift
height to shut pump motor off at
full fork elevation. Color-coded
wiring is used for ease of service.
Hydraulics
Heavy duty pump, motor, reser-
voir and control are assembled
into one unit. A centrally located
lift cylinder, mounted vertically,is
equipped with long life polyure-
thane packings. A pressure com-
pensating flow control valve is an
integral part of the valve block
and regulates lowering speed.
Overload valve protects hydraulic
components.
