Buying Considerations
1. Application Match
Crown forklifts are designed for indoor warehouse applications including electric rider forklifts, stand-up forklifts, reach trucks, pallet trucks, and order pickers. Very narrow aisle operations benefit from the TSP 1000 series with lift heights up to 13,485 mm.
2. Power Source
Crown offers electric (battery-powered) and LPG models. Electric models cost more upfront but save on fuel. Lithium-ion batteries are available on new models like the WP 3210-1.6 Li-Ion.
3. New vs. Used
New units offer the latest technology, full warranties, and lower long-term maintenance. Used units offer significant cost savings but may require more maintenance. Crown‘s refurbishment program provides superior performance at competitive prices with comprehensive inspections.
4. Warranty Coverage
Some dealers offer 120-day full warranty on the forklift and 1-year warranty on the battery, with options to extend.
5. Dealer Support
Crown dealers provide the same level of service support for new, refurbished, and used forklifts, backed by a large parts inventory.
6. Total Cost of Ownership
Crown aims to reduce the cost of ownership by creating high-performance, reliable, and innovative forklifts. Purchase price between comparable Toyota and Crown models is generally close; the bigger cost differentiator is usually dealer proximity and service response time.
