The RC 5500 Series Intrinsic Stability System™ is engineered to minimize the causes of unstable conditions. This complements safe, efficient operating practices that build the operator’s confidence, rather than test it.

System Controlled Hydraulic Speeds
The hydraulic system automatically controls tilt and limits
side-shift speed to increase vehicle stability and operator
confidence.

Travel Speed Control
The RC 5500 Series automatically controls travel speeds and braking based on fork height and other operating conditions.

Tilt Interlock
When forks and mast are tilted more than two degrees forward, a tilt interlock keeps forks from raising above free lift. More tilt at higher levels could tip the truck.

Stability-Enhanced Counterweight
Crown’s tilt-table test uses real-world worst-case forces,
which explains a counterweight exceeding ANSI standards.

Cornering Speed Control
The RC 5500 Series knows the direction of travel, angle of
steer wheels and speed of the truck. It uses this information
to automatically adjust travel speed in turns.

Ramp Speed Control
The intelligent control system maintains the truck at a constant speed on a ramp so it won’t gain or lose momentum. It also automatically holds a truck stopped on an incline until the operator initiates forward or reverse travel.
