Design award

This most recent honour comes from the iF International Forum Design in the "Transportation Design/Special Vehicles" category of its 2014 product design competition. The iF jury has now recognised Crown product design excellence 35 times since 1969.

Crown’s QuickPick Remote is one of the first systems of its kind to use technology to reduce operator fatigue while improving productivity and safety. Order-picking operatives simply press a button on a wireless transceiver glove to remotely advance the forklift to the next pick location, virtually eliminating the need to return to the operator compartment while picking.

Crown field studies show that the technology helps reduce the number of steps on and off the platform taken by operatives, by up to 70%. Customers using QuickPick Remote have experienced an average of 10 to 25% increase in productivity, according to Crown.
