Crown Equipment has introduced the RR5275S sit-down reach truck for high through-put applications.

Crown product manager Maria Schwieterman says operators working in high volume areas are often on their feet 10 hours a day and would appreciate the sit-down reach truck.

Customer Mark Harlen, Ventura Foods LLC's distribution manager, says his company's 19 forklift operators working at the company's 180,000 sqft distribution centre in Birmingham, Alabama are happy with the forklifts.

"Operators are comfortable throughout their shift. The seat makes all the difference," Harlen says.

Crown claims the reach truck has a shock-reducing floorboard design and provides 45% more foot room than its competitors' forklifts.
