It confirms that since Crown was founded more than 80 years ago, it has continued to develop advanced technology that helps shape the future of material handling and keep our customers’ operations running worldwide. The WJ 50 Series continues that tradition by putting the operator at the centre – true to the Crown standard,” said Ken Dufford, Vice President Europe at Crown.
