Contact: Michael P. Gallagher, IDSA, Crown Equipment Corp., 419.629.2220 x2668 Designers: Crown Equipment Corp. and Design Central With the challenge to create a substantially improved pallet truck or abandon the project, the Crown team had its work cut out. After two years of research, ergonomic studies, focus group sessions and field trials, the most maneuverable truck on the market emerged, in a sleek, approachable form with unprecedented safety and comfort features. The WP2000 design resulted in a 20 percent part reduction and a 75 percent decrease in assembly time. "Crown designers continue to provide ergonomic solutions, combined with high style aesthetics, in an industrial venue that seems to be ignored by many manufacturers. The pallet truck, with its beautiful soft lines, retains a sense of strength. The rounded front end allows for a tighter turning radius and reduces the potential for accidents and injuries." -Noel Mayo, IDSA, Ohio State University |
