points make the PE 4000 Series
user friendly. Contoured steel
doors allow for maximum

The QuickPick™ control handle
option, normally used in conjunc-
tion with coast control or Quick
Coast™, assists an operator to
perform low-level order picking.
The QuickPick control handle has
two switches on each side of the
handle. The QuickPick control
handle activation allows the
truck to travel, power unit first,
at walking speed.

The Crown PE 4000 Series has a
microcellular composition floor
mat and a rubber knee pad for
improved operator comfort.
Many optional features for the
operator area and controls are
available to suit a wide range of
applications.
Standard Equipment
1. 24-volt fused electrical system
The Crown PE 4000 Series has
dual, soft urethane twist grips
with automatic return to neutral
when released. Two textures and
a unique “cam” design aid in
plugging, steering and long dis-
tance travel. On the control pod
are full width raise, lower, and
horn buttons for easy actuation.
Reversing button in control han-
dle reverses direction of travel if
button should come in contact
with operator. Soft urethane

Electrical System
Heavy duty 24-volt electrical sys-
tem for demanding warehouse,
dock and transport applications.
The new 1404C separately excit-
ed traction control integrates
many of the operating features to
provide excellent control and reli-
ability. Directional contactors are
eliminated while traction speeds
have been improved for optimum
productivity. Crown manufac-
tured, separately excited, high
torque drive motor is application
designed for reliability and ease
of service.
14. Bolt-on load backrest
15. Work Assist Accessories:
• Strobe light
• Flashing light
• Work lights
• Fan
• Storage pouch
• Pad clip and hook
• Shrink wrap tray
(Option 2 battery only)
operator security and comfort.
Grab bar has raise, lower, horn
and high speed controls for
improved productivity.
Anti-tie down is a standard feature
designed to encourage proper
operation of the truck by deterring
the taping or tying down of the
high speed control button. A lift
limit switch operates at full lift
height to shut pump motor off at
full fork elevation. Color-coded
wiring is used for ease of service.
One touch high speed allows op-
erators to activate the high speed
button once and not have to hold
the button down to travel in high
speed. High speed is deactivated
when the twist grip returns to neu-
tral or when the brake is applied.
16. Storage module (Option 2
battery only)
17. 7" wide fork (6000 lb only)
18. Drive tire and load wheel
options
19. Toggle switch in lieu of key
20. Tandem load wheels
21. Dual load wheels
22. Cold and corrosion
conditioning
23. Special color paint
24. Skid adaptor
The Quick Coast™ option allows
the truck to coast as the operator
walks down the aisle performing
low-level order picking. The Quick
Coast switch is conveniently
placed on the grab bar for easy
activation. The Quick Coast
option includes infinitely variable
handle positioning within the
coast range, and the audible and
visual feedback features remind
operators the Quick Coast option
is activated. The Quick Coast
option meets current ANSI/ASME
requirements.
Hydraulics
Heavy duty pump, motor, reser-
voir and control are assembled
into one unit. A centrally located
lift cylinder, mounted vertically,is
equipped with long life polyure-
thane packings. A pressure com-
pensating flow control valve is an
integral part of the valve block
and regulates lowering speed.
Overload valve protects hydraulic
components.

Fork Assembly
Fork adjustment is done at the
toe with no need to remove a
cover plate. Fork heel height
adjustment is done quickly with-
out removing battery. Quick and
easy fork adjustment promotes
servicing of fork assembly to keep
pallet entry/exit productive.
Drive Unit
pallet. On models with a single
load wheel, the “C” dimension
should be 6" maximum and the
“D” dimension should be 14" mini-
mum. On models with tandem
load wheels, the “C” dimension
should be 6" maximum and the
“D” dimension should be 17"
minimum. Customers that need
tandem load wheel trucks, but
use pallets with smaller openings,
may be accommodated if the
maximum lift height of the truck is
reduced. Contact your Crown
dealer for details
Fork width - 9.12" on standard-tip
fork models, 10" on extended-tip
fork models. Fork spread - 22"
and 27" standard on standard-tip
models. 23"- 26" spread available
in one inch increments. 23" and
28" standard on models with
extended-tip models. Fork spreads
from 24"- 27" available in one-
inch increments. Fork lengths -
36, 42, 48, 54, 60, 96" with stan-
dard tip; 84, 93, and 96" forks
available with extended tip design
for shorter wheelbase.
All gear drive from drive motor to
drive wheel axle. Drive tire axle is
mounted in the drive unit on both
sides for maximum strength in
rough floor or docking applica-
tions. Drive unit is top and bottom
mounted. Top mount is a large,
tapered roller bearing for vertical
or horizontal forces. Bottom mount
has four shock mounted rollers on
drive unit running in a hardened
steel roller race. Gear train runs in
oil-filled, sealed housing.
Pull rod design incorporates a
replaceable “tenon” design for
fast servicing of pull rod while still
in the truck.
Power Unit Structure
Rugged steel doors are
Caster System
suspended on heavy-duty pin
hinges. Doors swing wide for
good access. Doors also can be
lifted off for unrestricted service
access. Door bolts have exclusive
convex design that mates with
concave door holes for fast rein-
stallation of bolts. Heavy steel skirt
surrounds entire area.
To facilitate pallet entry/exit
Standard on the PE 4000 Series
are shim free, spring-loaded,
articulating, stabilizing casters
designed and manufactured by
Crown for increased truck perfor-
mance and service life.
Other Options
1. Audible travel alarm
Crown has engineered several
features into their fork assembly.
Standard-tip forks have pallet
entry rollers to lift fork over bottom
board of pallet. Rollers are made
of high molecular weight polyeth-
ylene with .75" axle and roll pin.
2. Flashing lights
Safety considerations and dangers
associated with audible travel
alarms and flashing lights include:
Crown has designed two optional
caster systems for the PE 4000
Series to meet high-volume
warehouse requirements:
•
Multiple alarms and/or lights
can cause confusion.
Workers ignore the alarms
and/or lights after day-in and
day-out exposure.
Extended-tip fork design has
totally enclosed tip, with full
length convex bottom surface
creating an entry ramp. Ramp
design helps fork glide over
bottom boards of pallet and keeps
welded edges from touching
bottom boards of pallet.
Brake
•
Internal expanding mechanical
brake with fin-cooled 6" drum.
Braking on PE is actuated by
control handle position.
Option 1: Quick adjustment
casters enable braking, traction,
steer effort and stability to be
“balanced” based on your specific
applications. This system can also
increase drive tire life by as much
as 60 percent by permitting more
tire wear.
•
•
Operator may transfer the
responsibility for “looking out”
to the pedestrians.
Annoys operators and
pedestrians.
Pallet Planning Guide
On standard-tip fork models, the
load wheel will drop in the second
opening of the pallet when “A” or
“B” dimension equals the nominal
fork length. On extended-tip fork
models, the load wheel will drop
in the first opening of the second
Abrasion resistant steel entry/exit
slides on both sides of each fork
have convex bottom surfaces to
prevent snagging as forks move
over bottom boards of pallet. One
piece design with radiused edges
are welded away from contact
point of slide.
Dimensions and performance
data given may vary due to man-
ufacturing tolerances. Perfor-
mance is based on an average size
vehicle and is affected by weight,
condition of truck, how it is
equipped and the conditions of
the operating area. Crown prod-
ucts and specifications are sub-
ject to change without notice.
Option 2: All of the advantages of
quick adjustment casters are
yours, in addition to a torsion bar
suspension that maximizes stabili-
ty on tall, unwieldy and less stable
loads.
B
A
Exit roller design prevents load
wheel from dropping after cross-
ing bottom board. The 4" wide,
steel exit roller is positioned
directly behind the load wheel to
keep the fork rolling. Entry/exit
slide design also assists in trouble
free pallet entry/exit.
