Crown SP 4000 Series battery-powered stockpicker

Crown Equipment Corp's new SP 4000 Series offers a 36-volt, battery-powered stockpicker capable of handling capacities up to 3,000 lb. (1,350 kg) and reaching a lift height of 366 in. (9.3 m).

A regenerative lowering system captures lost energy and returns it to the battery. An AC traction system offers responsive control and smooth directional changes. An AC lift system has a variable lift/lower feature for precise operation. The SP 4000 has a maximum travel speed of 7.5 mph. (12 km/h), a lift speed of 100 ft. (3 m) per minute and a lower speed of 80 ft. (2.4 m) per minute.

"Our customers are looking to us for ways to save costs and increase efficiencies," says Tim Forlow, marketing product manager for New Bremen-based Crown. "By surpassing industry benchmarks in travel, lift and lower speeds in nearly all scenarios, the Crown SP 4000 Series puts operators in a successful position to complete more cycles within a defined time period."
