Picked for award
Material handling company Crown Lift Trucks earned its second consecutive International Forklift Truck of the Year (IFOY) Award on Monday 19 May at the CeMAT trade fair in Hanover.
The award honours Crown’s QuickPick Remote order-picking technology, which prevailed in the “Warehouse Trucks” category during an IFOY test week in real-world conditions.
The jury stated that the highly innovative and well thought-out “magic glove” remote control concept was the key factor in choosing the Crown GPC 3000 with QuickPick remote control for the award. Using a wireless remote control incorporated into a special work glove, operators can move their order pickers forward to the next pick location at the touch of a button without having to climb repeatedly on and off the truck’s operator platform. At the same time, operators can keep both hands free for their actual order-picking work.
In 2013, the company earned the prestigious award for the InfoLink wireless fleet and operator management system in the “Forklift Truck Solutions” category.
