The Crown RC 5530/35-30 is an electric stand-up counterbalance forklift designed for efficient material handling in tight spaces. It features a 36V electric powertrain with AC motors, delivering a maximum travel speed of 7.2 mph (11 kph) and a load capacity of 3,000 lbs (1,360 kg) at a 24-inch load center. The forklift’s compact dimensions include an overall width of 3.5 ft, a wheelbase of 4 ft, and a turning radius of 4.7 ft, facilitating excellent maneuverability in narrow aisles and congested environments. The mast is a three-stage design capable of lifting forks up to 15.9 ft (4.85 m) with lift speeds of 65 ft/min and lower speeds of 90 ft/min, allowing for precise load positioning. The mast also tilts 5 degrees forward and backward and supports a maximum fork spread of 33 inches. Ground clearance is 3 inches, and the height to the top of the overhead guard is 7.4 ft. The forklift is equipped with cushion tires on all four wheels (two front drive, two rear steer), optimized for indoor operation on smooth surfaces. The operating weight is approximately 8,579 lbs, reflecting its robust and stable build. Key operator-focused features include a stand-up ergonomic design with enhanced visibility granted by the curved power unit and a low-profile overhead guard, reducing blind spots. The FlexRide suspension system and shock-absorbing padding increase operator comfort and reduce fatigue. The e-GEN Braking System enhances braking performance and minimizes maintenance needs. Overall, the Crown RC 5530/35-30 blends power, precision, and operator comfort in a compact forklift engineered for demanding warehouse and dock applications.
