buy the tsp 6000 and you wont regret it...its one of the best trucks available today. the only problems i have with them is from customer damage.

I'll second that. The Crown TSP6000 is an awesome truck. Easy maintenance,and minimal downtime.

Why be a pioneer with Crown's newest product. Understand that in many applications with less then perfect floors, that the TSP600 has been slowed to a crawl. Very unproductive. Have you looked into BT or Raymond brand.

Good Question

i agree with the bob m - BT is definately a better truck having worked on Crown Raymond & BT i liked the BT the best we had the CTX 13000, sei. it was the best truck that i have ever worked on -- not to knock the competition i havev seen my friends trying to fix the Shyster & the Yale they had no good words for the truck

Personally i would be more concerned about who is going to Fix the thing when it goes down & what parts are available in todays market place lots of parts dept have no stock & bring the parts in from the manufacturers as required also Turret truck mechanics are a rare breed.

Good luck with your purchase.i

the tsp6000 is by far the easiest to troubleshoot...you can check all components through the display and no problems getting parts from the factory! the tsp6000 is designed to outperform anything that comes its way....see if you can get a demo and you'll see what im talking about...

WOW, Sounds like a brain washed CROWN Factory Tech. talking here. He even mentions the parts availability? Sounds like trouble, Don't be a pioneer with the TSP. I believe this product has the same Access 1-2-3 control system as Crown's last failure in the market, the 5000 Series Reach. Note: The TSP has (8) Eight, count them, (8)Crown made "proprietary" controllers spread all over the unit, including one on the upper fork trolley. You have to go to Crown when these fail ! What is the cost of these (8) Crown Proprietary controllers after the 3 year warranty expires?

all brands have proprietary controllers including bt, not just the crown tsp6000. let's be logical. the tsp6000 has 8 modules, not 7. and so bob, please get the facts right. i understand the rr 5000 controllers problem they had was a one-off because they used a non crown controller and got into trouble a little bt which crown fixed once and for all. the important thing is that the access system has 3 years warranty and as far as i know, crown backs it up.

Again, It sounds like a brainwashed CROWN Tech. Look at his Signature name. New Bremen would be proud of you.

I'd have to say that the original poster needs to try the Crown and the Yale in their application. When it comes to class II products, especially VNA, don't even bother talking to anyone but Crown or Raymond. Leave Yale out of the discussion unless you are buying an LP truck.

Bob_m get a clue, Access 123 has been around for 10 years. Crown backs it up with the best warranty in the business. Its sad that Raymond folk have no new material these days.

Crown only stepped up to the plate when a number of huge users started buying Yale, Linde, anything but Crown. The Original 5000 Series with Access 1-2-3- was a sales and service Disaster on Wheels. It may be fixed now, after 10 years. All I am saying is: Why be a pioneer with a brand new product. Go with a proven, dependable, reliable product. A Turret truck unit is a huge commitment.

I 100% agree that Access 123 was a near disaster when it was released in 1997 on the RR5000. However, because of that Crown is very, very careful about product engineering and testing before it realeases a new product. The TSP6000 is not a new truck anymore. It has now been on the market for 2 years with absolutely no problems. If you want to take it a bit further, that truck was tested in the field for 2.5 years before it was released for sale. So I would say the "why be a pioneer" statement holds no weight. As far as the demo's go. I would suggest to the original poster that they contact their local Crown branch to ask for a demo. EVERY Crown store and most all dealers have access to a new TSP6000 to show. Check it out. Most people buying a turret run a wire guided setup and the TSP 6000 can run on multiple frequencies from the factory. I can understand how that can be confusing to others who have never heard of such a thing in the past. BTW, build to order lead time on a Crown turret is less than three months right now.

1 of Every 3 Electric Lifts Purchased In the USA are a Crown.....

The TSP 6000 runs on any frequency 5.25 through 10.0 KHz.
