Crown earns third IFOY Award
05 July 2016
On 31st May, Crown, the material handling company, won the coveted International Forklift Truck of the Year (IFOY) Award for the third time.

The award was presented at the CeMAT trade fair in Hanover. Crown’s RT 4000 Series of rider pallet trucks took the prestigious award in the “Warehouse Trucks Lowlifter” category.
Over the IFOY testing period in February, the independent jury of internationally respected trade journalists was impressed by the customer benefits delivered by the RT 4020 stand-up rider pallet truck. The IFOY test report stated that “the Crown RT 4020 is ideal for users with very limited operating space who need high productivity. The pallet truck’s narrow design is, for example, perfect for pallet put-away in very confined spaces. The transverse operator platform provides good visibility in both directions.”
According to the Jury, the deciding factor was the extremely high productivity in tight spaces. "A compact design for the level of performance, important ergonomic features and, in particular, a range of safety features are implemented into this machine in an excellent fashion."
