SYDNEY, June 17, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Crown Equipment, one of the world's largest material handling companies, launches the new C-D^X Series IC Counterbalance Pneumatic Forklift. The new competitively positioned, cost-efficient C-D^X Series offers reliable performance, operator comfort and serviceability in various industrial applications.

The new C-D^X Series provides strong performance through a powerful Yanmar 3.3 L (Tier III) diesel engine, delivering honest torque, reliability and economy via a durable, rigid, one-speed powershift transaxle. Stylishly designed with generous leg room, its unique counterweight design also increases airflow to improve cooling capability in hot climates.

In addition, the C-D^X Series comes with enhanced mast visibility due to the increased inner width and thoughtful chain and hose locations, as well as various safety features and easy serviceability. Designed for reliability, the C-D^X Series' cohesive design has resulted in diesel engine lift trucks that are simple, reliable and comfortable to use in a range of environments.

The announcement signifies Crown's commitment to providing powerful, cost-efficient products while delivering performance, style and durability.

"For each of our products we strive to provide our customers with the quality and design excellence they expect while delivering a level of performance and confidence that helps keep their facilities running efficiently," said David Sultana, Asia Pacific marketing director of Crown Equipment.
