WP 2300 Series
Technical Information
The standard fork design has 6"
of lift with a conventional fork tip
and comes in 36", 42" and 48"
lengths. Fork spreads are 22"
or 27" wide.
The forks are roll-formed for
maximum strength and the pull
rods incorporate fork tip adjust-
ment to aid in pallet entry/exit.
All pivot points have Teflon-
impregnated, bronze, steel-
backed bushings. In addition,
each pivot point is provided with
a grease fitting to flush out dirt
and moisture, reducing down-
time and providing increased
service life.
Serviceability
One piece steel power unit
cover is removed easily for
access to all major components.
Fork adjustment is done easily
using the threaded pull rod.
Brake rotor and disc inspection
and replacement are easy.
Drive motor brush access is
excellent.
Color-coded wiring speeds
troubleshooting and the Crown
transistor uses visible LED
flashes
for fault communication.
Optional
plug-in analyzer for
servicing and programming
capability.
Control handle switch cap is
easily removed to expose
components.
InfoPoint™ allows your techni-
cian to troubleshoot without
complicated schematics, wiring
diagrams or cumbersome ser-
vice manuals for over 95 percent
of your repairs. Simplicity is
complete with InfoPoint Quick
Reference Guide, color compo-
nent maps and “Information
nuggets” located on the truck.
Wheels and Tires
Drive tire - solid rubber
10" dia x 4" wide x 6.5" hub
Load wheels - Vulkollan
3.25" dia x 4.5" wide
Optional casters are
3.5" dia x 2" wide
Pallet Planning Guide
On WP 2300 models the load
wheel will drop into the second
opening of the pallet. When “A”
dimension equals nominal fork
length, “C” dimension is 6" maxi-
mum and “B” is 14" minimum.
Other Options
1. Audible travel alarm
2. Flashing lights
Safety considerations and
dangers associated with audible
travel alarms and flashing lights
include:
• Multiple alarms and/or lights
can cause confusion.
• Workers ignore the alarms
and/or lights after day-in and
day-out exposure.
• Operator may transfer the
responsibility for “looking out”
to the pedestrians.
• Annoys operators and
pedestrians.

Dimensions and performance
data given may vary due to
manufacturing tolerances.
Performance is based on an
average size vehicle and is
affected by weight, condition of
truck, how it is equipped and the
conditions of the operating area.

tions are subject to change
without notice.
Performance
The WP 2300 benefits from
Crown’s design and engineering
excellence.
The transistor control module
works in conjunction with a new
separately excited (SEM) drive
motor to provide excellent
acceleration and top travel
speed loaded or empty. Good
acceleration enhances efficient
pallet entry and exit to increase
productivity. Transistor control is
programmable for specific tasks
or operator skill levels.
Smooth travel and lift combine
with excellent controls to reduce
product damage and increase
productivity.
Electrical System
A heavy-duty 24-volt fused
electrical system provides good
travel and lift speeds.
Separately excited motor control
eliminates directional contactors
reducing maintenance and
downtime.
The transistor control is sealed
from dirt, dust and moisture for
trouble-free operation. Transistor
control features include over-
temperature protection, polarity
protection, self-test and visible
diagnostics.
Regenerative motor braking is
activated under a downhill con-
dition, during plugging or when
the directional control is returned
to neutral. “Regen” reduces heat
build-up and extends motor
brush life.
An anti-roll down feature will
apply the brakes if the truck rolls
without a travel command.
175-amp battery connector with
standard disconnect handle
.
Hydraulic System
Heavy-duty 4" diameter hydraulic
motor with integral pump and
reservoir for maximum efficiency
and durability.
Twin, hard-chromed lift cylinders
provide improved load stability.
Additionally, smaller twin lift
cylinders reduce truck length,
improving maneuverability.
Hydraulic lines, fittings and elbow
connections are minimized to
reduce heat from hydraulic oil
flow and improve efficiency.
At full lift, a top of stroke cutout
switch shuts the lift motor off,
which saves energy and prevents
motor overheating.
The totally enclosed system is
protected by pressure, suction
and return line filtration. A conve-
nient fill plug allows for easy fluid
level checks.
Drive Unit and Brakes
Heavy-duty gear box with spur
gears for low noise emission.
Drive unit is equipped with an
electromagnetic disc brake that
is spring applied and electrically
released. Brake is activated by
the control handle position.
Brake rotor and disc are easily
accessed for inspection and
replacement. Regenerative motor
braking assists brake effort and
improves component life.
Drive unit mounts in truck frame
with a permanently lubricated,
twin conical roller bearing that
disperses load forces evenly,
reducing maintenance and
downtime.
Forks
The WP 2300 has two fork styles
to suit the application.
The Crown “profiled fork” offers
tapered fork tips with shorter
lengths and wheelbase to
improve the turning radius
and facilitate load handling in
tighter areas.
