Global acclaim

Crown was honoured with the
international Universal Design Award
for its WT 3000 Powered Pallet Truck
Series at the Hannover Messe trade
fair earlier this year.

To win this award, products must
fulfil evaluation criteria that include:
broad and flexible usability, easy and
intuitive operation, and safety and
error tolerance. Last year Crown’s
WT pallet trucks won the iF Product
Design Award 2011 and the IDEA
Award 2011 in gold, making the
Universal Award the third award the
company had received in less than a
year.

Crown’s WT 3000 Series has been
recognised for its increased focus on
ergonomic features and the positive
impact on health, safety and operator
comfort that such features provide.

This has also been confirmed in a
study on electric pallet trucks
conducted by the independent
Institut National de Recherche et de
Sécurité (INRS) in France.
