Intuitive experience
for lift-truck drivers
new generation of
narrow-aisle lift trucks
has been launched
by material-handling
specialist Crown.
The TSP Series is said to deliver
an intuitive operator experience,
improved ergonomics and more
efficient picking capabilities.
“Our VNA trucks, which have
proven themselves in practice
many times over, are designed
so they can be precisely adapted
to specific applications,” explains
Sven Vorreiter, senior manager for
product marketing at Germanybased Crown.
“Whether they’re moving full
pallets or picking high above
the ground, operators always
have the great feeling of being
A
in total control thanks to the lift
truck’s exceptional ergonomics
and comfortable working
environment.”
The new trucks use an operating
system that can be personalised
for the operator so that all key
functions such as operating hours,
steering angle and battery state of
charge are displayed in real time,
ensuring that the information is
easy to see, understand and use.
The system also has a Capacity
Data Monitor, which provides
at-a-glance details of load weights,
lift heights and capacity limits.
Colour-coded visuals – similar to a
traffic-light system – indicate the
truck’s current status to operators
so they can stay within specified
load limits.
Two optional, RFID-based semiautomation technologies for
the TSP Series enable the truck
driver to be alerted to hazards
in its working environment. An
‘auto-fence’ restricts the lift
truck’s travel speed or lift height
depending on where the truck
is located – at intersections or
in areas with lower ceilings. A
system also automates travel and
lift functions to deliver the most
efficient route to the next storage
location.
