Special vehicle nomination

This is the fourth year in which Crown has appeared as a finalist in this prestigious international competition. 

“We want to provide our customers with practical benefits and real-world added value by supplying high-quality, safe and reliable products and solutions,” Ken Dufford, Crown vice president Europe, said. “Our Wave multipurpose vehicle has already won over a multitude of customers in many different industries. The vehicle helps operators to carry out their daily work in safety and confidence. We are delighted that, once again, we are among the finalists nominated for the IFOY Award.”

With its intuitive controls, the Wave simultaneously enhances safety, productivity and flexibility in applications with operator reach heights of up to five metres for which ladders are normally used. It also excels in busy, confined spaces in a wide variety of retail, distribution and manufacturing scenarios. These include handling and transporting small loads in receiving, shipping and put-away applications, as well as order picking. The new WAV 60 is also suitable for facility cleaning and maintenance at height. 

Like all finalists, the Wave must now proceed to the next stage in the competition – a full week of testing known as “IFOY Test Days” in early March.
