Crown adds diesel options
Crown Equipment Corporation has introduced a diesel option to the Crown C-5 Series, first launched in 2009 as the company's first internal combustion line of industrial pneumatic and cushion tyre forklifts.

The new Crown C-5 diesel forklift, available in 5,000 and 6,500 lb. (2,205 and 2,700 kg) lifting capacities, features a 2.5 l industrial engine.

"The new diesel C-5 follows the lead of the C-5 LPG model, with an industrial, heavy-duty Kohler engine, opening the series to an even broader range of customers that require maximum durability, long-lasting reliability and operator comfort in demanding environments," says Rob Chaney, C-5 marketing product manager. "The diesel C-5 is an ideal outdoor truck for foundries, lumber and masonry yards, scrap-waste recycling businesses, manufacturing logistics, and any other operations that have diesel fuel on site for delivery truck fleets.

"The complete C-5 Series offers a high-performance powertrain, precise cooling, ergonomic design for operator comfort, and stability," he says.

The new models are backed by a three-year/6,000-hour warranty.

A variety of options are available for special applications, such as debris guards that protect loads in wet environments; air-filled tyres instead of the standard solid pneumatics for better traction in mud and snow, and to prevent ground compaction; and dual drive tyres for greater stability and hauling wide loads.

Forkliftaction's JOB MARKET

It’s the year 2000. You’re in front of a boxy beige desktop waiting for the screeching ramblings of your dial-up to reach its finale.

And with web pages loading one image at a time, patience isn’t just a virtue – it’s a requirement!

As clumsy as this early iteration seems now, this technology was the great enabler that allowed Forkliftaction to connect to the industry across the globe.  

To everyone who has connected with Forkliftaction in the past 25 years, thank you for your contribution to our success! We feel deeply touched by your words of encouragement.
