ESR 5000
S e r i e s
During development, Crown engineers met with operators, service engineers
and their managers in order to fully understand their everyday challenges. What
did they learn? Over and over, they heard it’s all about moving more pallets, safely and
efficiently. Managers can’t simply tell their workers to move faster. They need lift trucks
that, by their design, significantly improve working methods. The ESR 5000 Series is the
answer when they say…
Show me a truck that makes it
worth my time.

The revolutionary design of the ESR 5000 Series gives the operator a distinct
advantage, encompassing every detail that affects throughput. Specifications on paper
are not enough. You need an evaluation based on demonstrated performance. The
ESR 5000 Series increases throughput with advances in ergonomics, visibility, application
flexibility and serviceability while also addressing operations, safety and service managers
concerns. The ESR 5000 Series proves Crown’s commitment to reach new levels of
performance for your entire team.
Visibility
The ESR 5000 Series’
dynamic visibility
improves throughput and
reduces risks. Now your
operators have a clear
advantage from every
angle and with every
move they make.
First-Class Control
Whether transporting or
placing loads at height,
the ESR 5000 S Class
operator compartment
provides a unique
workspace loaded with
features that make every
task less challenging for
the operator. Hour after
hour, that adds up to
more throughput and
greater efficiency.
Serviceability/Reliability
Only the ESR 5000 Series
offers Access 1 2 3™
Comprehensive System
Control, which provides
safe, reliable performance,
advanced diagnostics and
simplified troubleshooting.
When you add up the
savings it provides, you’ll
call it revolutionary.
Ergonomics/Safety
The ESR 5000 Series
applies ergonomics that
turns heads – comfortably.
Operators find more of
what they need. Upward
visibility. Desktop
and storage space.
Easy movement, on
and off the truck. All
are needed to safely
improve productivity.

The ESR 5000 Series gives you powerful performance along with numerous productivityand energy-efficient features youcan safely use throughout the warehouse for a range of applications.
Safety and training managers know that operator competence
is the key to preventing mishaps and injury in a fast-paced
environment. Operator competence is optimised when coupled
with state-of-the-art equipment featuring enhanced controls,
visibility and stability. The ESR 5000 Series has the features you
need to…

When you optimise the operator’s work
experience, their level of competence rises. And
competence improves safety and productivity.
Operators need a truck that won’t slow them down. That means
precise handling and all-around visibility. They want operator controls
that fit their preference. They want space – for themselves and tools
like clipboards. They want to enter and exit the truck quickly with
minimal effort. They also want a seat that won’t wear them out.
There’s a lot riding on what they do. The ESR 5000 Series can help
them do it better.

The ESR 5000 Series design simplifies truck and loadpositioning for improved safety and productivity. OnlyCrown offers an offset mast for unequalled visibility to the load wheel and forks. The clear-view mast design andpatented overhead guard minimises obstructed views duringdriving and lifting operations. Fork position indicators showside-to-side alignment.
Managers and operators are always reaching for more.
Throughput. Comfort. Competence. Safety. That’s what inspired
Crown to push the ergonomics envelope. On the S Class, you’ll
find a solution that’s more than mechanical. It’s personal…

SClass...the science
of productivity.
How operators interactwith the reach truck and the surroundingenvironment greatlyaffects the level ofproductivity. Fast-paced,demanding applicationsplace even more stress onthe operator. The S Classoffers a unique space wherethe operator can work andmove more effectively, bothon and off the truck. Theseat and controls worktogether to improve workefficiency and all-around visibility for a range of tasks.
The advantages you’ll findon the ESR 5000 Series S Class are the result of amulti-faceted analysis ofdynamic real-worldapplications. Repetitiveoperator motions, all-aroundvisibility requirements,efficiency studies,ergonomics and physiology –they all went into the mix togive you the ESR 5000Series S Class.
Long transport distances. Operators frequently on and off the truck.
Higher reach elevations. Intensive duty cycles. The ESR 5000 Series
S Class was built with these in mind.

Crown’s body of work on ergonomics is based on
a fundamental concept. Before you change the truck
body, you should first understand what’s going on with
the operator’s body – how it interacts with the truck in
real-world applications. That explains the revolutionary
innovations of the S Class.
Complementing an efficient compartment layout, the MoveSeat optimises visibility andreduces postural stress. It’s especially helpful whenoperators spend substantialamounts of time positioningloads at heights. With littleeffort, the operator can
easily tilt and/or swivel theseat for optimal positioningduring any dynamic worktask. This innovationsignificantly reduces trunkand neck rotation, as wellas cramped positions thatcontribute to fatigue andinefficient operation.
