Crown is one of the better American walkies. However, if you really want the "best" electric walkie/rider pallet truck look to anything German. Linde and Jungheinrich make the best pallet trucks on the market. About 40% less wearable parts, built from virgin steel (not recycled, which means they will not rust out in a wet application), and all the wire connections and controllers are steam cleanable. However, they are pricey up front and parts tend to cost more money, mostly because the parts also come from German companies like Porsche and Bosch. If you are looking for a good in between truck check the Cat walkie/riders. They are made by Jungheinrich but will actually cost you less than buying a Jungheinrich branded truck.
