According to my point of view crown c-5 is working out smoothly.if we apply small plugin power then it will be working properly.

Like i have said before, crown builds a real good eletric unit.

Agree on comparing the c5 to a linde ic swoop. But I would take crown electrics over linde everyday of the week especially the vna's

heheh burt...

comparing a crown to a linde is like comparing a cadilac to a royles royce :o)

big difference between the two imo.

I had a C5 on demo, good solid truck, but noisy and a bit agricultural compared to a Linde H25 Evo we put it up against. Operator comfort was also an issue, as our drivers were used to hydrostatic trans, whereas the C5 is torque converter, drivers were getting sore legs operating the left pedal and the inside lower dash panel kept getting kicked.

Lagrange I didn't find them that bad to work on yes some jobs did take a bit of patience lol. As for sending mediocre engineers to work on them? I wouldn't send a mediocre engineer to work on any modern truck or if the truth be known any truck really

Thank you LaGrange This is just the info i was looking for. I have just received units with the new psi motor. Jury is out on it for now but it has a very impressive power band. These things will haul. Have to keep the enginr mode at a low setting and it will still pull a steep trailer ramp with no problem. With full load.

This machine is a big headache to work on.
Easy repairs are: replacing battery, alternator, forks, mast hoses.

Difficult repairs: Diagnosing and replacing Power Brake system accumulator, diagnosing and repairing On Demand cooling system, replacing Steer Control Unit located at bottom of steering column (have fun with those "proprietary" 2 piece o-rings that you CAN NOT buy from a local auto parts store- unless the design has changed in the past 2 years).

Requires additional patience. DO NOT dispatch mediocre tech's to work on this machine.

I'll state facts as well in not comparing the C5 to the trucks you have over there I'm comparing it with the crap we get over here. I've worked for mitsi dealers and for Crown.

PSG5........I'm very aware of this. As I've been with a Cat/ Mitsu & Crown dealer for 27 yrs. What I was pointing out, is that there's a difference in the product being put out in the US & Europe.

Budman only certain models of the Jungheinrich are produced in Houston and there are no Jungheinrich IC products. Rocla is some what sold here but only South of the border.

I'll state facts again. In the USA Caterpillar is built in conjunction with Jungheinrich. In Europe, they us Rocla product......Very big quality difference. Also in USA, Tier 4 Diesel is Perkins. Not Nissan.

Look at the quality difference between mitsi/cat and crown even bigger difference especially on the electric machines.

they seem to be doing just fine.

look at the difference in price between the Cat/Mitsu and Crown.....HUGE difference
