Crown Equipment Updates C-G Series IC Lift Trucks for Heavy Lifting, Increased Maneuverability

Crown Equipment Corporation, one of the world’s largest material handling companies, today launched the updated Crown C-G Series of internal combustion (IC) cushion tire LPG counterbalance forklifts, with capacity ranging from 8,000 to 12,000 pounds. The enhanced features and design of the C-G Series deliver robust lifting and agile maneuverability – even in applications with limited space – including manufacturing, warehousing, rail and freight, paper manufacturing and storage, and steel coil operations.

“This new generation of C-G Series 8,000 to 12,000-pound cushion tire forklifts represents a forward leap in technical and aesthetic design, drivability, operator comfort, durability and performance,” said Rob Chaney, IC marketing product manager, Crown Equipment. “The updated C-G Series includes both standard and box car counterweight models, each with capacities of 8,000, 10,000 and 12,000 pounds, and available with limited and full-free lift two-stage, three-stage and four-stage masts.


With a shorter head length than standard models, box car models have a smaller footprint for even more compact turns in limited space environments, according to Chaney. He added, “Despite their small footprint, all C-G Series forklift models feature a spacious operator compartment, generous floorboard and conveniently placed controls to provide shift-long operator comfort.”

“Key features that set C-G Series forklifts apart in superior durability, uptime and performance include the 3.8-liter Kubota industrial LPG engine, enclosed disc brakes with a 5-year/10,000-hour warranty, a cast iron drive axle, and an improved flow hydraulic system, which lowers fluid temperature, promoting improved forklift and attachment operation,” said Chaney.

A standard industrial dual core radiator further boosts the durability of C-G Series forklifts, with separate cooling for the engine and transmission. An optional open core dual radiator, with open core fins that resist clogging, is available for use in applications with dust, fibers, paper and other debris. Vented side panels are standard on box car models and optional on standard models and allow heat to escape from the engine compartment for operator comfort and to help cool the powertrain.

Several other features promote operator comfort and ease of operation. These include a tilting and telescoping steering column; a standard suspension seat; seat deck mounted levers; an easy to read LCD display; a low step height and sculpted seat for easy entry and exit; a conveniently accessible rear post handle with horn button; and an electronic switch park brake, which replaces a mechanical parking brake, reducing maintenance and creating more floorboard space. Additional comfort and convenience options are also available.

Hamilton Caster Appoints Andrew D. Stamp as Director of Sales

Hamilton Caster & Mfg. Co., a 117-year-old industry leader in heavy-duty industrial casters, proudly announces the enhancement of its legacy Super Endurance Caster (SEC) series, now rebranded as the Spinfinity® Super Endurance Caster (ZFSEC) series. In addition, Hamilton is introducing the all-new Spinfinity® Super Endurance Dual Caster (ZFSEC2) series, both of which feature a new heavy-duty 'V-Style' seal designed to elevate performance in the most demanding environments.
The Spinfinity® Super Endurance Caster (ZFSEC) series replaces Hamilton’s legacy SEC series, setting a new benchmark for kingpinless caster design in extra heavy-duty applications. Central to this upgrade is the heavy-duty 'V-Style' seal, which offers protection against dirt, debris, and moisture. This advanced sealing technology ensures consistent performance and extends the life of the caster, making it the ideal choice for environments where reliability is critical.
"With the introduction of the V-Style seal, the ZFSEC series is engineered to withstand the harshest conditions while providing zero-fix, 100% maintenance-free operation," said Mark Lippert, president of Hamilton Caster. "This enhancement allows our customers to minimize maintenance costs and downtime, further solidifying Hamilton’s reputation for durability and dependability."
The ZFSEC series retains the robust construction that Hamilton is known for, including a swivel top plate and inner raceway made from forged steel, providing superior strength for shock conditions. Sealed precision ball bearings are also now standard in all wheels, contributing to the maintenance-free performance of the series. Notably, the zerk fittings have been eliminated, as the new design makes them unnecessary.
Complementing the ZFSEC series, Hamilton introduces the all-new Spinfinity® Super Endurance Dual Wheel Caster (ZFSEC2) series. This dual wheel series is engineered for extra heavy-duty applications where stability, durability, and maintenance-free operation are paramount. Like its counterpart, the ZFSEC2 series leverages the new 'V-Style' seal, ensuring that each caster is fully protected against contaminants that could compromise performance.
Combined with sealed precision ball wheel bearings, this caster series ensures zero-fix, 100% maintenance-free performance. The dual-wheel configuration enhances stability and allows for a lower overall height, offering a perfect blend of strength and maneuverability.
Casters in both series are finished in a durable HAA polyester platinum powder coat and are available in a wide variety of wheel types, allowing for customization based on application needs. For complete wheel specs and product details check out the Spinfinity® Super Endurance Caster Landing Page and all-new Spinfinity® Super Endurance Dual Caster Landing Page.

New Horizon Releases Innovative Functionality for Optimizing Inbound Logistics Scheduling at DCs

ACTON, Massachusetts – September 3, 2024 – New Horizon Soft, LLC (https://www.newhorizon.ai), a global leader in AI-powered supply chain planning software, announced today the release of a new version of its Buyers Workbench procurement planning software. The latest version includes the ability to optimally schedule inbound deliveries, taking into account distribution center (DC) receiving capacity, thus minimizing receiving bottlenecks and lowering inbound logistics costs. A research paper describing the innovative methodology and its deployment at an iconic $10B+ U.S. quick-service restaurant chain was recently published in the peer-reviewed academic journal, the International Journal of Operations Research and Information Systems.

Supply chain organizations typically plan purchase orders without regard to DC receiving capacity. This leads to bottlenecks on some days and underutilized staff on others. New Horizon’s methodology, called Master Purchasing Receipt Scheduling (MPRS), uses a novel algorithm to automatically and optimally schedule deliveries. The algorithm plans deliveries at the time of purchase order creation and results in a steady volume of deliveries and lower planning and logistics costs. While first deployed at a restaurant chain, the methodology is applicable to any manufacturer, wholesaler, retailer, or foodservice company operating high-velocity DCs.
