Safe By Design
Crown forklifts are designed with safety in mind. We aim to help you maintain a safe operation with equipment designed around your operator.
Seat Restraints
All Crown sit-down models incorporate restraint systems designed to help keep the operator in the running lines of the lift truck in case of tip over. These restraints have proven to reduce injuries if properly utilized and maintained.
To accommodate various application and operator needs, Crown has various seat and restraint system products, including suspension seats and hip restraint systems, available for Crown lift truck models.

Stand-up Rider Floor Board Pedal and Sensor, Entry Bar™ Safety Switch
Crown's stand-up rider counterbalanced and rider reach lift trucks afford correct operator positioning and control by incorporating independent floorboard pedals/sensors for the operator's feet. The suspension floorboard also provides a cushioned, shock-absorbing ride, enhancing operator comfort.

Stand-up Rider Posts and Extensions
All current Crown stand-up rider counterbalanced and rider reach lift trucks have backrest extensions that are 57.5 inches from the floor in the area behind the operator. Third corner posts are also standard.
