"We have a thing that can lift things 11 ft in the air at 3500lbs" T-ray said. And Men all over the world smiled and cheered.

@firefly2472 Год назад

Hell yeah we did.

@ecaffery8 Год назад

I used to work for Crown as a field tech. It shouldn't be that low. the drive wheel on the unit is worn down. You can go directly to Crown for service parts and get everything factory direct at your nearest branch, which I believe there is one in Orlando. I'd recommend hitting all the grease points on the unit and putting grease on the mast channels (where the forks ride up and down on) Also, if you feel like it, you should replace the outrigger wheels (they come out by hammering out roll pins, and that will help how the unit rolls around too.

@CarrotTop6z9 Год назад

Also to add. Make sure use distilled water for the battery. When pop the tops and look down into the cells. Will see a plate with holes. Only fill about 3/8inch above that plate at most. Only add water after been fully charged. If you post the serial # of the battery Deka will be 4 digits and 2 letters. I can tell ya how old it is. The built in charger is more of a trickle charger, so if run it dead won't be quick recharge. Think 6-10hrs depending how depleted it is.

@davidrobert2007 Год назад

I used to work for a forklift tyre company, it is sometimes cheaper to get the drive wheel refurbished, it looks like a direct bond polyurethane unit. The load wheels are small pallet rollers and usually cheaper to replace whole. In my experience Crown forktrucks are very high quality and durable machines 👍

You can also check with Crown they carry special non-marring tires for sealed and epoxy floors. We had them on all of our fork lifts. You will thank me later.

This truck has polyurethane tyres all round, which is non marking by default. Rubber tyres would fail in such a high load application.

Walk behind pallet jack is a must for a car workshop. A forklift would just be a pain in the ass in tight quarters

One tip, don't let the battery go too low. The charger in the lift is not the quickest, its more of battery maintainer.

Got one of these at my work, we call it Big Joe, we have manual pallet jacks and an electric pallet jack, as well as yours. We mainly use it to stack pallets in the rafters or separate pallets that are double stacked, and yes, they are all just as low. Pretty fun to mess with, they can be a little slow when weighted though. Awesome purchase.

It's not generally good practice to drill holes in the fork tines, it's better to put a tow hitch on a piece of steel box section that you can clamp to one of the fork tines.

@mariosrcmodels Год назад

This is always handy in a workshop😃👍, So a good purchase that you will enjoy. Personally, i would do as a color scheme, if you want to stay in the Milwaukee theme, make the bottom that you have now painted red, black, and the white part red. Then you could possibly put Crown Walkie Stacker BS2300-40p in the large red part with white adhesive letters. I think that will look nice 😉. Keep up the great work guys.

@axelito2124 Год назад

Crown tech here! Your local dealer should carry that oem beige and black which we call (dark gray) paint 🎨 That drive tire can be removed and taken to the local dealer so they can press on a new one if available. They should carry those outrigger wheels as well. I would check the water level on each individual battery . Top off with distilled water!! Check over your trucks harness to see if any wires might be pinched etc. this occurs especially where the handle meets the frame due to constant turning. Check the motor brush condition and springs. If the springs don’t snap back on to the brush that can cause bad problems! Check the contactor tips condition as well, you can visibly see if there are sparks occurring when activating it . Also you can see chunks missing were they spark on occasion due to weak batteries. Grease the mast channels so te bearings don’t get damaged and to avoiding an annoying walkie stacker that grinds each time you go up!

@HomebrewHorsepower Год назад

It's very important that if you use a 2 post lift to sling lift something like that, you must make sure your rigging is vertical. I attempted to lift a 6,000 pound lathe off a trailer using chains, but did not rig it vertically. I had the chains at an angle and it did pull the posts towards each other and my concrete floor broke. Cost me $2000 to have the slab replaced.

@benmanwiller6067 Год назад

I've been a crown technician for 5 years now. Only key maintenance things you skipped were checking the battery water and lubing the mast/chains. Batteries are expensive and the easiest way to kill one is running them dry. Any where on the mast the rollers touch should be greased. Also check the brushes on the motors, once they come flush with the holders they should be replaced. Cool unit though, great addition to the shop.

I work or cat in the uk as a forklift engineer. I’d recommend measuring forks and chains for wear too, fork heel must be less than 10% wear of the back or the fork and chains are allowed max 3% wear

@MrGuyBroDude Год назад

That thing is going to change your life for engine jobs. I would also make 2 very easy and important attachments. One that is a trailer ball so you can move around trailers easily in the driveway and such, and another is a hitch attachment that fits in a trailer hitch on a truck so you can lift the rear end from that have have an easy time moving vehicles in/out of the shop. I don't know what the weight limits are but our shop has basically the one step up about that size but instead of the pallet jack style of controls, it has a small standing pad and uses joysticks to control it. Basically the small indoor warehouse ones you find in a home depot/lowes. Also, go grab some skateboard deck grip tape. Put that on top of the forks. gets a little extra grip for basically free and as it tears up, it is easy enough to replace.

@ionstorm66 Год назад

Try to track down some good plastic or metal pallets for storing stuff and get in the habit of putting everything on pallets or dunnage. You'll use the forklift much more often if everything is ready to get picked up already. Also I'd drill a fork for a ball. Its super convenient for moving trailers, but also nice for keeping straps/chains from moving. Also making a fork boom is nice for picking stuff up. Straddle forklifts do pretty damn good with load center. They generally will do 3/4 or better of the rated load at the tip of the forks. So it will have no issues pickup up an engine with another foot or 2 of stick out.

The white paint should've been red and change the red at the bottom to black. If you want, you can also add your brand/name with white lettering and it'll match all your milwaukee stuff. Probably unsafe and not sure if this would be viable, but maybe you could weld some thick metal to the base of the forklift to make a "platform" to stand on instead of hanging off the rails when you operate it

@gregglynn3763 Год назад

From past experience with working with a big pallet jack, first, it not made to ride with a load on it. That's why there are no platforms to stand on. Second, wait until you get a load way up in the air. You'll start to have a panic attack worrying whether the unit will tip over or your load will just fall off. After a while you'll get used to it but my comment will be take your time and work carefully!!
