Offering the most versatility of any counterbalance on the market, the new RC 5500 Series can be used from unloading professional trailers, to internal and external transportation, to stacking and storage. Whether working in narrow aisles like a lift truck, crossing the warehouse and stacking vans and lorries like a conventional counterbalance or shifting pallets like a powered palletjack – the RC 5500 is truly three trucks in one.
The forklift is equipped with the latest technical innovations from Crown, including the maintenance-free e-GENTM Braking System and Crown’s patented FlexRideTM suspension technology for maximum uptime for the truck and the operator. In addition the RC 5500 features the Crown Intrinsic Stability SystemTM to minimise the causes of unstable conditions. The Access 1 2 3TM Comprehensive System Control ensures safe, reliable and industry-leading truck performance and system diagnostics.
Crown has also equipped the RC 5500 with the latest generation three phase motors which are designed and manufactured by Crown to ensure reliability and quality.
The RC Series trucks are available in 1.5 tonne and 1.8 tonne capacities. The series offers standard lift heights of up to 6,200 mm with the Triplex mast (TT-Mast) or 7,010 mm with a Quad mast.
The RC 5500 offers the same unparalleled visibility as a reach truck. This is supported by a low profile, sculpted drive unit, a clearview mast, a radial design overhead guard and flexible side stance. A soft grip steer tiller with hydrostatic steering reduces operator fatigue further. A low floor height of 240 mm aids entry/exit for the operator, and is particularly useful when scanning goods.
