Crown has released a very-narrow-aisle truck that beats its predecessor with a tighter turning radius.

The TSP 6000 series, introduced in the USA last October, has a three-point design, giving it a tighter turning radius and higher manoeuvrability than its predecessor, the four-point design 30 TSP, released more than 15 years ago.

Northwest Handling Systems Inc sales manager Sam Swartz praised the TSP 6000's mono-mast.
"It's a true turret stock picker mast instead of a modified stock picker mast, which is common in the industry.

"The mast assembly is by far the most stable with maximum retained capacity of its class. There's very little mast sway when the operator is up high grabbing loads. It also has the tightest turning radius in its class and that's a big deal for us."

Exclusive to the new truck is Crown's MoveControl™ seat that allows the operator to swivel the seat to four different positions and operate the truck from each position.

Swartz said the MoveControl™ seat was an example of "dramatic changes" to the operator compartment.

The compartment featured floor sensors and hand controls to ensure the operator was in a correct position before the truck could operate.

The turret truck had all AC motors, unlike the previous series and its competitors, Swartz said.

Northwest Handling Systems Inc, headquartered in Seattle, Washington, received Crown's highest dealer recognition, the James F Dicke Pioneer Award, in 2005, and was one of the first dealers to receive the turret trucks.

In January, European journalists were invited to Crown's New Bremen plant for a product demonstration of the TSP 6000. The truck's European release is slated for April.
