Internal Combustion Forklift

Crown Equipment Corporation’s first company-manufactured internal combustion (IC) forklift – the Crown C-5 Series – is now available. The new forklift is designed to push the limits of IC performance; it leverages the company’s core expertise and heritage in material handling to deliver commanding advantages to owners and operators seeking improved power and strength, service and uptime, and comfort and safety. The Crown C-5 features an industrial engine jointly developed with John Deere Power Systems; a proactive approach to engine cooling and radiator clearing via an on-demand cooling system; and design innovations that improve operator visibility, comfort and productivity. Product owners will see immediate return on investment from extended service intervals and an exclusive Crown power brake system that collectively reduce maintenance costs and downtime.
An integral element to Crown’s research and development efforts was the analysis of maintenance work performed on thousands of IC trucks. This process enabled Crown to determine the most common and costly problems, and focus its design to solve the most universal uptime and service challenges traditionally accepted within the IC market.
