1System Controlled Hydraulic SpeedsThe hydraulic system automatically controls tilt and limits side-shift speed to increase vehicle stability and operator confidence.
Travel Speed ControlThe RC 5500 Series automatically controls travelspeeds and braking basedon fork height and otheroperating conditions.
Tilt Interlock When forks and mast aretilted more than two degreesforward, a tilt interlock keeps forks from raising above free lift. More tilt at higherlevels could lead to anunstable condition.
Stability-Enhanced CounterweightCrown’s tilt-table test usesreal-world worst-case scenarios. That’s why theRC 5500 Series features acounterweight that exceedsrequired standards, significantly enhancing stability.
Cornering Speed ControlThe RC 5500 Series knowsthe direction of travel, angle of steer wheels and speed of the truck. It uses thisinformation to automaticallyadjust travel speed in turns.
Crown’s proactive system technology
anticipates and meets your challenges.
It’s all about exceptional real-world
performance and reliability. You can
see it working for you on the RC 5500
Series with Access 1 2 3® Comprehensive
System Control, the e-GEN™ Braking System
and the Intrinsic Stability System.
Crown’s unique Access 1 2 3Comprehensive SystemControl enables safe,reliable industry-leading lift truck performance anddiagnostics. The systemcontinuously monitors truckspeed and direction, positionof the forks, thermal ranges,operator performance levels,functions selected andmore. As conditions change,it uses this information torespond immediately withreliable, optimisedperformance.
Crown’s intelligent e-GENBraking System featuresmaintenance-free frictionlessbraking. Benefits includevariable braking based onbrake pedal position andconsistent performance forthe life of the truck. It is alsofully integrated with theIntrinsic Stability System tocontrol speeds for a varietyof operating conditions.
The Intrinsic Stability System is engineered
to minimise the causes of unstable conditions. This
complements safe, efficient operating practices that
build the operator’s confidence, rather than test it.
Only Crown’ssystem
technologyassures real-worldperformance
withconfidence.
6Ramp Speed ControlThe intelligent control system maintains the truckat a constant speed on aramp so it won’t gain or lose momentum. It alsoautomatically holds the truckwhen stopped on an inclineuntil the operator initiatesforward or reverse travel.

The Intrinsic StabilitySystem, Access 1 2 3 technology and e-GENBraking System providethe critical balance youneed for performance you can safely use.
Unmatchedvisibil ity.
Ultimateergonomics.For operators working in confined
spaces, visibility is essential to
achieve acceptable levels of through-
put and safety. The unique design geometry
of the RC 5500 Series positions the operator
for visibility advantages all around.
Visibility on the RC 5500 Series outclasses all otherswhere it counts most – inlorries, narrow aisles andcongested areas withpedestrians, equipment and products.
On the RC 5500 Series, thepower unit curves in for aclear view of the front rightcorner. This sculptedcontour, along with the low-profile power unit, providesoutstanding visibility for loadpick up. An orange indicatoron the wheel guard providesa visual reference point in low-light situations.
The mast and pillar design also enhancesforward visibility with cleanrouting of hydraulics andchains and pillar orientation.The right pillar lines upbehind the mast so iteffectively disappears.
You gain a clear view to theleft with space between the left mast stack and theangled left pillar. And theunique overhead guarddesign offers exceptionalprotection and visibilityadvantages at height.
Crown’s stand-up design gives operators
the flexibility and comfort required for
faster throughput. Highlights include soft
touch points with shock-absorbing padding,
revolutionary FlexRide™ suspension,
unrivalled work space and easy entry/exit.
Armrest – padded support for comfortable, securepositioning; optional adjustablearmrest to accommodateindividual operator preferences.
Step Height – optimal height forfrequent on/off tasks.Entry Bar Safety Switch –if an operator places a foot on theentry bar, the truck automaticallyslows down and an audible alarm sounds.
Backrest/Hip Pad – contoursdesigned to enhance comfortand flexibility in repositioningthe body for a range of tasks.
Footrest – provides posturalrelief during stationary tasks,complementing the largefloorboard.
FlexRide Suspension – offers shock andvibration protection and includes a weightadjustment feature so the suspension canbe customized for operators of differentsizes.
