Crown picked for award
Crown earned its second consecutive International Forklift Truck of the Year (IFOY) Award at the CeMAT trade fair in Hanover. This year’s award honours Crown’s QuickPick Remote order-picking technology, which prevailed in the “Warehouse Trucks” category during an IFOY test week in real-world conditions.
The jury stated that the innovative and well thought-out “magic glove” remote control concept was the key factor in choosing the Crown GPC 3000 with QuickPick remote control for the award.
QuickPick Remote brings together technology, workflow efficiency and optimised operator activity in a natural, systematic order-picking process. Using a wireless remote control incorporated into a special work glove, operators can move their order pickers forward to the next pick location at the touch of a button without having to climb repeatedly on and off the truck’s operator platform. At the same time, operators can keep both hands free for their actual order-picking work.
