FC 5225 2.0 Crown electric forklift specs & dimensions (2016 - 2023)

e-GEN® Braking System

Variable regenerative motor braking is optimised and assisted with electric friction brakes, eliminating maintenance associated with typical wet, disk or drum and shoe style brakes. The appropriate amount of stopping force is applied to match operator brake input and the current operating conditions of the truck. The closed loop Access 1 2 3 traction control will keep the truck static until a travel input is requested, even when operating on a ramp. Automatic electric parking brakes activate when the operator leaves the seat, a travel input has not been requested or battery power has been disconnected.

Steering System

Full hydrostatic system with equal area, double-acting cylinder provides equally responsive steering rate both ways (4.8 turns lock to lock). Rugged axle frame, forged spindle and connecting links eliminate the need for adjustment. One-piece forged spindle and kingpin in tapered roller bearings for improved reliability and serviceability. Spherical bearings with tapered pins in connecting links eliminate any play in linkage. All bearing locations are sealed to exclude contaminants and are equipped with lubrication fittings. Load-sense hydrostatic steering is an on-demand system which reduces energy consumption. Smooth, quiet steering control with minimal operator effort required at the steer tiller. The steering geometry is matched to the controller to deliver smooth steering at all angles. The advantage is less tyre scrubbing which extends tyre life.

Crown Manufactured Mast Assembly

The mast has four points of attachment to the truck for good load force distribution. Two mounting points are at the frame, where tilt cylinders attach. Tilt cylinders use spherical bushings to resist off centre load distortions. Two large diameter studs secure the mast to the drive units. The high visibility mast features a nested-rail design with lift cylinders positioned behind the rails. This heavy-duty mast is engineered to provide smooth, reliable operation. Large hydraulic hose reeves and hose placement are designed to reduce hose wear and increase hose life. Additionally, hose routing places hoses in-line versus side-by-side to reduce visual interference. Large lift chains are used for long, reliable service life, and large diameter lift cylinders provide smooth operation. An optional TL, TF, TT, and quad mast is available.

Crown Drive System

Crown has applied the latest generation AC drive system, enhanced with Access 1 2 3 technology. Crown-manufactured, independently controlled, AC drive motors are specifically designed to optimise the integration between the traction and braking controls. The demand for high efficiency systems that closely match customer torque requirements is met with this generation control system. Crown’s Access 1 2 3 technology provides optimum performance and control by offering a communication interface for both operators and technicians, intelligent coordination of lift truck systems and simplified service with advanced diagnostics. The Crown display is used for troubleshooting, access event history and set performance features. A distribution panel is conveniently located with all test points, control fuses and central wiring for easy troubleshooting. Three modes of performance can be selected to accommodate operator experience or application requirements.

Drive Units

Two Crown-manufactured independent double reduction planetary gear drive offers 22 to 1 gear reduction. The first and second reduction use helical gears for low-noise and high efficiency. The drive unit gears are splash lubricated in an oil bath.
