Rider powered pallet truck

Posted on Friday 1 January 2010

An independent panel of experts awarded the Crown WT 3040 rider powered pallet truck with the prestigious BITA Design for Safety Award in the Industrial Vehicles category at IMHX 2013.

The Crown WT 3040 rear-entry powered pallet truck was judged to have made a measurable contribution to improving safety awareness through its innovative Entry Bar Safety Switch. This patented bar is integrated into the leading edge of the fixed platform and is designed to stop the truck immediately if the operator’s foot ventures outside the truck and depresses the switch.

 

This means the truck will not move until the operator’s feet are within its perimeter – and if a foot strays outside the confines of the truck, stepping onto the Entry Bar Safety Switch, the truck will immediately stop.
