performance and

long-term durability

with the PTH 50 Series.

Pallet entry/exit is easier

and faster due to metal
ramps on the fork tips and
optimally positioned rollers.

Hand pallet trucks
don’t get the respect
they deserve... unless
they’re built by Crown.

The PTH 50 Series may
be the smallest truck in the
Crown product family, but
it gets the same attention
to performance and value
that sets Crown apart.
That includes everything
from engineering and
design to manufacturing
and production testing.

Compare the PTH 50 Series
with all the others. The
differences between Crown

quality and a throw-away
design are clear. Crown
hand pallet trucks feature
solid construction and
generous amounts of steel,
especially at critical stress
points. You’ll also appreciate
the exceptional ease-of-use
and serviceability features.

You can expect more from
Crown, because we respect
your need for superior
performance at the lowest
cost of ownership.

Durability and
maneuverability

define the PTH 50 Series,
meeting the toughest
challenges in trailers
and across docks.

Easy handling makes

the PTH 50 Series an ideal
solution in retail environments,
providing unmatched versatile
performance from the back
room into the store.

Take advantage
of the
productivity­enhancing
features of the
PTH 50 Series.
