Crown CDV180S-7 18-tonne lift truck

The Crown CDV180S-7 18-tonne lift truck is claimed to offer more power than any other comparable IC vehicle. With a 1200 cm load centre, the CDV180S-7 delivers high levels of capability and capacity.

The lift truck has a Tier 3 electronic control 254 HP 7.6l diesel engine that provides high torque at low revs, reduces fuel consumption and meets or exceeds current environmental requirements. This power and efficiency is matched by advanced synchronisation of the drive train with the vehicle’s hydraulics system.

The driver cabin has a centrally positioned heated leather seat that gives a clear, uninterrupted view of the forks. Heating and cooling comprises separate air-conditioning and heating ducts for the dash and the roof, as well as an efficient defrosting nozzle for the front window. The dash is fitted with both digital and analog instrument panels, as well as a technically advanced sound system.

Additional features of the CDV180S-7 include a rear-view camera, distance-measuring infrared camera, wheel steering sensors, weight scales and an air compressor for general cleaning and maintenance of the driver’s seat and footwell.

Operating the CDV180S-7 is easy, with all controls ergonomically located and with six roller bearings giving speed and precision to the lifting process.

Ease of maintenance has also been designed and built into the CDV180S-7, with a tilting cabin and hood system, centralised fuse and relay box, centralised steering axle grease inlet and conveniently located control valve.
