Crown’s WJ 50 Series electric pallet trucks are nominated for IFOY Award 2026

Crown has been named a finalist for the International Intralogistics and Forklift Truck of the Year (IFOY) Awards 2026. Its WJ 50 Series is nominated in the “Warehouse Truck Lowlifter” category. The WJ 50 Series is Crown’s most compact lithium electric pallet truck, designed to help today’s wide range of operators move heavy loads in tight spaces with reduced effort.

The electric pallet trucks deliver impressive, industry-leading energy efficiency powered by a V-Force 48-volt lithium-ion battery. In addition, the WJ 50’s compact design and exceptional manoeuvrability make it ideal for working in tight spaces. Crown’s comprehensive, industry-leading 3-2-1 Warranty further highlights the durability and quality built into every WJ 50 Series pallet truck. Numerous positive customer reviews praise the pallet trucks for delivering precise control, a comfortable operator experience and exceptional durability.

“Being nominated for the prestigious IFOY Award with the WJ 50 Series underscores Crown’s focus on innovation, quality and reliability. It confirms that since Crown was founded more than 80 years ago, it has continued to develop advanced technology that helps shape the future of material handling and keep our customers’ operations running worldwide. The WJ 50 Series continues that tradition by putting the operator at the centre – true to the Crown standard,” says Ken Dufford, Vice President Europe at Crown.

The IFOY Award honours outstanding products in warehouse and material flow technology and it is one of the world’s largest technology competitions for intralogistics providers. According to the organisers, an IFOY nomination has become a recognised B2B-sector benchmark for cost-effectiveness and innovation. The IFOY Awards 2026 ceremony will take place on 25 June in Stuttgart.
