Electrical System
24-volt electrical system
incorporating:
1. Transistor “MOSFET”
controller, microprocessor
controlled with on-board
service diagnostic capability.
This transistor controller
provides many benefits
such
as maximum energy
efficiency,
reduced
maintenance and infinite
speed control capability.
Fault Monitoring System:
Through a fault flash code
signaled by an LED, 17
detectable faults can be
recognized. Using an optional
hand set, faults can be displayed
digitally. Controller settings are
programmable. Functional
tests of components are also
possible. Incorporates storage
register for fault history that can
be interrogated by service
personnel.
2. Heavy-duty drive and lift
motors provide high reliability
and efficiency.
3. Electric panel with swing-out
feature, allows good acces-
sibility and serviceability to
the distribution panel and all
other electrical components.
4. Emergency disconnect is
easily accessible from all
operating positions.
5.
Solid-state switching ensures
high component reliability.
6. Control and power circuits
are fused. Distribution panel
and controller are short-
circuit protected.
7. All wiring is color coded.
Hydraulic System
1. Heavy-duty compound
motor and gear pump
selected for optimum lift
performance and low noise.
2. Control block houses
proportional pressure
compensated flow control
valve, check valve, relief
valve and direction control
valve to select lower
function. The proportional
valve ensures smooth load
handling. Single speed lift
and two speed lowering is
available to the operator.
3. Cylinder rods are hard-plated
chrome with polyurethane
seals.
4. Relief valve tuned to capacity
protects all components in
the hydraulic system.
Drive Unit/Brake
Heavy-duty gear box with
helical spur input gear for low
noise emission. Drive unit is
equipped with an electro-
magnetic brake, spring applied,
electrically released. The brake
is activated by the control
handle position.
Frame/Pivoting Carriage
Frame and Articulated Truck
Suspension system (ATS) are
of a rugged design ensuring
minimum deflections during
operation. Modular pivoting
carriage design ensures excellent
traction, optimum truck stability
and minimum steering effort in
all load conditions. Easy service-
ability
of all components in
power unit and simple adjust-
ment to compensate for tire
wear is possible. Single swing-
out door design allows easy
access to all components.
Mast
High visibility two- and three-
stage mast design features
nested I-beams and canted
rollers. Lift cylinders are posi-
tioned in outer I-beam profile for
best visibility through mast and
clear view onto fork tips during
load handling. Standard
equipment includes full-free lift
for two- and three-stage mast.
Mast cushioning between
stages ensures smooth
operation. Heavy-duty mast
and chain rollers are sealed
and lubricated for life. Easy
access to carriage rollers.
Operator Controls
The robust X10™ control
handle is designed to allow for
an optimum turning radius with
low steer effort. All control
buttons can be operated with
either hand and can be
accessed with minimum hand
and wrist movement. The horn
buttons are integrated in the
hand grips. An ergonomic
forward/reverse thumb wheel
allows for precise maneuvering.
Depending on conditions and
operator experience, maximum
travel speed can be reduced
via the rabbit/turtle switch.
Exclusive brake override allows
slow speed travel with the
handle near vertical. This feature
improves maneuverability in
tight areas.
Battery
Removable side panels and top
hinged cover allow easy access
to battery, as well as battery
change in three directions,
either side or top lift out.
Compartment rollers are fitted
as an option.
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. Crown products and
specifications are subject to
change without notice.
