Remote lift & lower
Crown has extended its tried-and-tested QuickPick Remote technology with a variant that controls lift and lower functions. Available now for fitment to Crown’s ES 4000 and ET 4000 Series stackers, this version of the successful remote glove technology features a special transceiver for the stacker’s lift system.
The new lift technology means operators can now raise and lower the truck’s forks without having to use its control handle. Consequently operators have both hands free and no longer have to walk as far, bend as often or lift as much – all of which help improve productivity by reducing physical strain and operator fatigue. The transceiver communicates with the truck via a receiver mounted on the mast.
A light indicates system status (raising or lowering). By pressing the button, operators can position the forks at an ergonomic working height of up to 1.8 metres, making it easier to transfer objects between pallets and shelving. But in addition to filling shelves, remote adjustment of the height of the forks can also provide an ergonomic aid for setting up production machinery or carrying out a range of workshop or assembly activities.
