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

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

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.

shop hurts the bottom line. Their task: minimise downtime

and do it economically. Diagnostic time, component

identification and access are the issues.

Crown uniquely provides the solution.
