Crown Drive System
Crown has applied the latest generation AC drive system, enhanced with Access 1 2 3 technology. The demand for high efficiency systems that closely match customer torque requirements is met with this generation control system. Crown-manufactured, independently controlled, AC drive motors are specifically designed to optimize system integration between the traction and braking controls. Crown’s Access 1 2 3 technology provides optimum performance and control by offering a communication interface for operators and technicians, intelligent coordination of lift truck system and simplified service with advanced diagnostics.
e-GEN™ Braking System
Variable regenerative motor braking is optimized and virtually eliminates brake maintenance. 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 stable until a travel input is requested, even when operating on a grade. Automatic electric parking brakes activate when the operator releases the brake pedal, a travel request has not been registered or battery power has been disconnected.
Steering
Load-sensing hydrostatic steering is an on-demand system which reduces energy consumption. Smooth, quiet steering control with minimal operator effort required at the steer tiller. Steer tires rotate 182° for maximum maneuverability. Crown’s hydrostatic steering system is simplified with significantly fewer parts, thus reducing maintenance requirements.
