The order picker has now been nominated for the International Forklift Truck of the Year (IFOY) Award 2017 in the \u201cSpecial Vehicle\u201d category. This is the fourth year in which Crown has appeared as a finalist in this prestigious international competition.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cWe want to provide our customers with practical benefits and real-world added value by supplying high-quality, safe and reliable products and solutions,\u201d<\/em> asserts Ken Dufford, Crown Vice President Europe. <em>\u201cOur Wave multipurpose vehicle has already won over a multitude of customers in many different industries. The vehicle helps operators to carry out their daily work in safety and confidence. We are delighted that, once again, we are among the finalists nominated for the IFOY Award.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Multi-level versatility<\/strong><br \/>\nWith its intuitive controls, the Wave order picker simultaneously improves\u00a0safety, productivity and flexibility in applications with operator reach heights of up to five metres for which ladders are normally used. It also excels in busy, confined spaces in a wide variety of retail, distribution and manufacturing scenarios. These include handling and transporting small loads in receiving, shipping and put-away applications, as well as order picking. The new WAV 60 is also ideal for facility cleaning and maintenance at height.<\/p>\n<p>The Wave allows operators to simultaneously drive and lift, making for a smooth, efficient workflow. It can easily be recharged from a standard power outlet and its dual AC motors give rapid acceleration up to a top speed of 8 km\/h, making this multipurpose vehicle exceptionally agile. The built-in Access 1 2 3\u00ae control system delivers optimum performance and control by intelligently coordinating operator input with precision management of steering, braking, lifting and lowering functions.<br \/>\nThe top load tray can support up to 90 kilograms, while the bottom load deck holds an additional 115 kilograms. An optional powered, continuously adjustable load tray is also available for even greater flexibility with any load.<\/p>\n<p><strong> One week of testing before decision time<\/strong><br \/>\nLike all finalists, the Wave order picker must now proceed to the next stage in the competition \u2013 a full week of testing known as \u201cIFOY Test Days\u201d in early March. This includes a neutral test on the Munich exhibition ground, as well as the scientific IFOY Innovation Check. Apart from innovation, other test criteria include economy, energy efficiency, sustainability, safety, ergonomics and design. The winners of this year\u2019s IFOY Awards will be announced at a gala event during the \u201ctransport logistic\u201d trade show, due to be held in Munich in early May 2017.<br \/>\nThe IFOY Award recognises the year\u2019s best material handling equipment and intralogistics solutions, and is one of the most prestigious awards in the intralogistics sector. In 2013, Crown took the IFOY Award in the \u201cForklift Truck Solutions\u201d category for the company\u2019s wireless forklift fleet and operator management system InfoLink\u00ae. In 2014, Crown\u2019s QuickPick\u00ae Remote order picking technology won the award in the \u201cWarehouse Trucks\u201d category, and in 2016, Crown\u2019s RT 4000 Series of rider pallet trucks won the award in the \u201cWarehouse Trucks Lowlifter\u201d category.<\/p>\n<p>For more information visit:<a href=\"http:\/\/news.crown.com\/\">\u00a0http:\/\/news.crown.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Crown recently released the newest\u00a0generation of the company\u2019s popular Wave\u00ae Work Assist Vehicle.
