Crown has launched the ESR 1000 Series reach trucks. The new forklifts are available with lift heights of up to 13,560 millimetres, load capacities of up to 2 T and can optionally be configured to use lithium-ion batteries.

The new reach trucks can be optioned to include Crown's Xpress Lower technology which doubles lowering speed.

The optional Auto Height Select feature enhances precision. Operators can use this automatic, predefined height selector to stop the forks at programmed rack heights.

The Capacity Data Monitor gives operators an at-a-glance view of load weight, lift height and capacity limits to ensure that load handling stays within safe limits.

Another option, the Tilt Position Assist feature, compensates for mast and fork carriage deflection, automatically levelling the forks relative to the ground for more precise load positioning.

Operators, as well as service and safety managers, will benefit from the Gena operating system, newly developed by Crown and appearing for the first time in the ESR 1000 Series. The Gena system delivers all vital data and information clearly and concisely via a 7 in. colour touchscreen in one of 25 selectable languages.

Crown's new reach truck family includes the ESR 1020 with narrow chassis, maximum lift height of 9,090 mm, top speed of 10 km/h, and load capacities of 1.4 or 1.6 T. With an overall width of 1,285 mm, the ESR 1040 with standard chassis is a value-packed solution with a maximum lift height of 9,450 mm, load capacities of 1.4 or 1.6 T, and a top speed of 10 km/h. Finally, the ESR 1060 is designed for high-intensity applications involving heavier loads and lift heights of up to 13,560 mm, with load capacities of 1.4, 1.6 or 2.0 T.
