Big Moves in Small Spaces

Dual drive motors turning in opposite directions, along with steer axle geometry designed for maneuverability, enable the FC Series sit-down counterbalance forklift to navigate tight turns in small spaces.

The short head length small turn radius allows for a larger battery in a small, nimble chassis. That means more power, longer runtime and more uptime, with reduced battery changes for multi-shift operations. When equipped with V-Force lithium-ion batteries, one battery can handle multiple shifts, reducing battery maintenance and even eliminating mid-shift battery changes.

Comfortably in Control

Operators of all shapes and sizes can achieve a personalized fit on the FC Series counterbalance forklift. With more headroom and leg clearance, operators enjoy easy entry and exit. Low effort steering, optional full suspension seat and multiple storage options provide comfort and convenience throughout the entire shift.

The optional D4 Armrest provides one-handed height and fore/aft adjustment for all-day comfort. It can be used with manual control levers or configured with one of four integrated bionic control options for precise truck control and efficient product movement.

Travel and corner speed control dynamically adjusts travel speed limits based on load weight, lift height and steering angle.
Ramp speed control maintains travel speed and momentum on declines.
Hill hold maintains lift truck position, controls tilt and manages sideshift on inclines.
Tilt interlock prevents the forks and mast from rising above free lift when tilted more than two degrees forward.

Designed for Durability

All Crown lift trucks are engineered, designed and manufactured for long-term performance. The FC Series sit-down counterbalance forklift is no exception.

The FC Series' durable steel steer axle is built to withstand constant punishment in harsh applications. Steer linkage design reduces tire wear while improving taper roller bearing life.

A thick steel I-beam mast design with rugged mast carriage and a strong load backrest, enable the FC Series counterbalance forklift to handle loads while resisting bending and twisting in virtually any direction.

The FC Series' Crown-built AC motors ensure enhanced performance and reliability, while eGen braking virtually eliminates brake maintenance.
