Previously, operators were using man-down trucks, which required them to handle products twice to pull product from the racks, fill orders and replace the unused product. This arrangement inhibited productivity, and it increased the risk of product damage from multiple handlings.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur biggest concern was how narrow our aisles were. We wanted to make sure the equipment would be able to deal with our small space,\u201d said Ken Breiner, warehouse manager, Continental\/Midland. \u201cCrown worked with us to find the right product to fit our small space\u2014the <a title=\"www.crown.com\" href=\"http:\/\/www.crown.com\" target=\"_blank\">Crown<\/a> TSP Series.

The versatile man-up truck delivers advanced features to enhance operator comfort, ergonomics and productivity. Its fully adjustable MoveControl Seat features integrated controls on the cushioned armrest and can be positioned at various degrees to allow the operator to choose the optimum position for each task.<\/p>\n<p>With Crown\u2019s three-wheel design, fine-tuned steering and visibility, the Crown TSP Series is built to maneuver high, tight spaces with more control, while improving productivity with faster cycle speeds and more efficient energy utilization.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1692\" style=\"width: 280px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.findadistributor.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Screen-Shot-2015-12-07-at-11.52.13.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1692\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1692\" src=\"http:\/\/www.findadistributor.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Screen-Shot-2015-12-07-at-11.52.13.png\" alt=\"The versatile man-up truck delivers advanced features to enhance operator comfort, ergonomics and productivity.\" width=\"270\" height=\"361\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.findadistributor.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Screen-Shot-2015-12-07-at-11.52.13.png 270w, https:\/\/www.findadistributor.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Screen-Shot-2015-12-07-at-11.52.13-224x300.png 224w, https:\/\/www.findadistributor.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Screen-Shot-2015-12-07-at-11.52.13-172x230.png 172w, https:\/\/www.findadistributor.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Screen-Shot-2015-12-07-at-11.52.13-243x325.png 243w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 270px) 100vw, 270px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1692\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The versatile man-up truck delivers advanced features to enhance operator comfort, ergonomics and productivity.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\u201cThe operators love the Crown TSP stockpickers because they are able to pivot within a tight space.
