Technical Description

The Crown SC 4540-40 is an electric sit-down counterbalance forklift engineered for warehouse and material handling operations requiring precision and maneuverability in confined spaces. Powered by a 36V electric system, this four-wheel truck delivers a 4,000-pound load capacity with a 24-inch load center, making it suitable for standard pallet and carton handling applications. The forklift features a triple-section mast capable of achieving a maximum fork height of 15.9 feet, enabling efficient vertical stacking with a lift speed of 58 feet per minute and a lower speed of 90 feet per minute. Its compact overall width of 3.6 feet and tight 5.3-foot turning radius facilitate operation in congested dock and aisle environments. The cushion tire configuration provides smooth operation on finished warehouse floors while contributing to the truck's 8,860-pound operating weight. Key dimensional specifications include a 6.5-foot length to fork face, 7-foot overall height when the mast is lowered, and a 4.6-foot wheelbase, optimizing stability and load distribution. The mast features 5-degree forward and rearward tilt capability with a 36-inch maximum fork spread for diverse load accommodation. With a maximum travel speed of 7.2 miles per hour and a 3-inch ground clearance at its lowest point, this model balances productivity with safety. The 6.6-foot height to the top of the overhead guard ensures operator protection during loading and unloading operations. The SC 4540-40 represents Crown's commitment to ergonomic design and operational efficiency, suitable for light to moderate-duty warehouse environments demanding reliable electric-powered material handling solutions.
