Serviceability

Performance

Ergonomics

Crown’s leadership in

ergonomics positions

the operator for optimal

performance, in touch

with the truck, the

surroundings and the

task at hand.

You’ll appreciate how the SP 3500 Series

improves productivity the minute it rolls into

your facility. It’s the result of innovative engineering

that takes operators to new levels of performance,

while delivering substantial cost-savings.

What about uptime?

Every productivity gain

goes out the window when

the stockpicker is out of

service. Crown’s exclusive

Technovation™ – the fusion of

technology and innovation –

gives you industry-leading

reliable performance, backed

by our advanced diagnostics

and comprehensive system

of support.

The SP 3500 Series builds

on Crown’s 40 years of

real-world stockpicking

expertise to solve your

application needs.

The Crown SP 3500 Series

uniquely solves your

application challenges, the

ones that create inefficiencies,

limit your options and cost

you time and money. As a

result, your operators can

take full advantage of

industry-leading visibility,

ergonomics and confidence-

inspiring stability, in addition

to optimized performance

and control. These are the

productivity factors many

others lack.

You also need the flexibility to

meet the particular challenges

and needs of your facility. The

SP 3500 Series excels here,

as well, with four application-

specific models and a range

of options.

Confidence

Stockpicking at heights

requires confidence,

and the SP 3500 Series

has the backbone

others lack, with

engineering that keeps

operators solidly

centered on their work.

Faster. Safer. Productivity.

The SP 3500 Series gives you a versatile

solution for small

parts picking and a

variety of tasks in free

and guided aisles.

Visibility

In stockpicking, what

you can’t see will slow

you down. On the

SP 3500 Series, what

you can see is a design

for superior visibility far

outclassing any other.

Any way you stack it.

The SP 3500 improves productivity by delivering

performance you can safely use.

A visionary design demonstrates Crown’s

ergonomics leadership with the highest levels

of visibility, comfort and stability.

Ergonomically driven.

The SP 3500 Series comes

by productivity honestly,

because it’s based on

proven ergonomics. You’ll

find ergonomics advantages

all around the operator’s

compartment. The large

platform gives operators more

room to move. Standard power

steering provides smooth,

precise operation. Crown’s

unique anti-fatigue floor

mat features a microcellular

composition that reduces

the effects of vibration and

standing fatigue, while

enhancing operator stability.

Operators also benefit from

storage areas for portable

task tools, as well as Crown’s

Work Assist™ accessories,

including an optional universal

clamp system for convenient

mounting of fixed tools

such as RF terminals and

scanning guns.

Ergonomics drives design on the

SP 3500 Series. It accounts for every

aspect of the operator-stockpicker interface,

from the control orientation and size of the

platform to side gates and portable task tools.

Control orientation also

demonstrates Crown’s

ergonomics expertise. Crown

uses a twist grip, similar to

the type used on motorcycles,

versus the joysticks used

on many other stockpickers.

With Crown’s solid, fixed

control handle, you’ll see the

difference in operator stability

and confidence, especially

when stopping and starting.

Neutral PositionWhile the neutral position appears

to be similar on the two designs,

the Crown design provides a hand

hold without the risk of initiating

unwanted traction, as is possible

with the joystick design. Crown

maintains this stability advantage

during forward or reverse travel.

Forward TravelTo activate forward travel with

the Crown twist grip, operators

simply position their index finger

over the cam and push downward.

This allows the wrist to stay very

close to a neutral position while

the hand rolls over the top and

behind the handle.

Visionary design.

A huge visibility advantage on the SP 3500 Series eliminates tunnel vision and helps operators safely

improve productivity.

exceptional visibility, far

superior to any truck in

its class. You won’t find

a larger platform window

or a clearer view of pick

locations and intersecting

aisles. At lower elevations,

a clear visibility mast offers

an unobstructed view. As

a result, operators perform

tasks faster, easily locating

stock items before they

reach them.

Putting an operator in a

stockpicker with limited

visibility is like putting a

tightrope walker in a

straightjacket. It’s not likely

to inspire confidence, safety

or productivity, especially at

heights. The SP 3500 Series

offers a clear advantage.

Based on extensive ergonomics

studies, it focuses on how

operators work at their best

in stockpicking applications.

That explains its CompetitorCrown

SP 3500 Series Competitor

Reverse TravelFor reverse travel with the Crown

design, operators hook their index

finger over the cam and pull it

towards them. Again, the wrist

stays very close to its orientation

in the neutral position. Whenever

the twist grip is released, the handle

returns to the neutral position.

Ergonomics analysis and

user preference have

confirmed the benefits of

Crown’s twist-grip design.

It’s more comfortable to use

than the competitors’ pivoting

joystick design because the

wrist moves naturally. In

addition, Crown’s control

handle gives operators a

performance edge with its

raised index finger cam.

Crown’s index finger cam

facilitates easy

directional changes

while the fixed

control provides

operator stability.

Top travel speed in transport (mph)

Travel Speed LoweredImagine working on the ledge of a three-story

building every day. It’s easy to see how confidence

affects stockpicking performance, productivity and

safety. The Crown SP 3500 Series builds operator

confidence with a substantial stability advantage.

Operators quickly notice

the stability advantages

of Crown SP 3500 Series

Stockpickers over any other.

Crown’s unique Load Path

Stability Design is the key to

a solid foundation. It evenly

distributes the force of the

load from the platform

through the frame and power

unit, through the drive unit

and to the ground. That’s why

the SP 3500 Series features

the largest and heaviest

drive unit and largest drive

tire (13”) in the industry.

It’s been designed to

deliver superior performance

and stability over uneven

warehouse floors and proven

in the most demanding

applications on Crown’s

stockpicker, reach and

turret trucks.

Unlike other stockpicker

trucks that incorporate

plastic into much of the

power unit, the SP 3500

Series uses heavy gauge

steel in the skirt, doors and

battery cover. This additional

weight, combined with the

heavy-duty mast, gives the

SP 3500 Series substantial

load capacity advantages at

height and further contributes

to superior stability.

Performance that adds up.

Side gates, integrated into the truck’s control system, protect operators when and

where intended, and easily move

out of the way when not needed.

Their sturdy construction gives

operators an added measure of

stability and confidence when

performing picking tasks.

It’s your productivity advantage.

Crown’s AC motor, AC traction control and

Access 1 2 3 Comprehensive System Control

give you the performance advantage you need

to improve stockpicking safety and productivity.

The SP 3500 Series mast delivers rock-solid stability and cushioned staging for superior operator confidence at height.

Heavy gauge, wide outer

C-channels and inner I-beams

provide superior front-to-back

operator platform stability.

Stabilizing angular cross

members tie C-channels and

I-beams together to reduce mast

twist and sway.

Exclusive vertical mast braces

Friction BrakingMotor Braking + = Optimum braking at heights

Level 3

Level 2

Level 1

The Crown Intelligent Braking System uses Crown AC traction

motor braking combined with optimum amounts of friction braking.

The appropriate level of braking is applied dependent upon lift heights,

travel speed, direction of travel and other operating conditions.

Crown’s linear speed control (stepless) eliminates wasted productivity typical with a stepped speed implementation. Competitors

use simple height switches on the mast, while the SP 3500 Series uses a

variable height sensor to measure the exact platform height and determine

the optimum speed level. This important productivity feature, optional on

many others, is standard on all Crown stockpickers.

On many stockpickers,

braking at higher elevations

easily shakes an operator’s

confidence, including sudden

stops that may throw the

operator or load off balance.

The SP 3500 Series avoids

this scenario with Crown’s

patented Intelligent Braking

System, which combines

motor and friction braking.

Crown’s Access 1 2 3

Comprehensive System

Control continuously

monitors operator lift

height and other variables,

automatically adjusting

braking force to ensure

appropriate braking at

all heights.

You’ll also benefit from

other features designed

to deliver performance you

can safely use. Crown’s

Intelligent Steering, another

Access 1 2 3 active safety

feature, slows the SP 3500

Series automatically as the

steering angle increases.

Linear speed provides smooth

acceleration from the lowest

to the highest elevations.
