Electrical System
Features a 24-volt electrical system with a MOSFET controller, microprocessor-controlled with on-board service diagnostics, providing maximum energy efficiency, reduced maintenance, and infinite speed control capability. Faults can be recognized through a status flash code signalled by an LED, stored in the controller memory, and interrogated by service personnel. Robust drive and lift motors ensure high reliability and efficiency. The electric panel has a swing-out feature for easy access and maintenance. Emergency disconnect is easily accessible from all operating positions. Proven componentry ensures high component reliability, and all wiring is colour-coded.
Hydraulic System
Heavy-duty hydraulic motor with integral pump and reservoir for maximum efficiency and durability, selected for optimum lift performance and low operating noise. The hydraulic control module provides quick, smooth initiation and stopping of lift function. Single-speed lift and two-speed lowering is standard. Cylinder rods are hard-chrome plated with polyurethane seals. Relief valve tuned to capacity protects all components in the hydraulic system.
Drive Unit / Brake
Heavy-duty gearbox with helical spur input gear for low noise emission. Fixed, vertically mounted drive motor ensures minimum wear on electrical cables, minimum contamination, and optimum cooling. The drive unit is equipped with an electro-magnetic brake, spring applied, electrically released. The brake is directly mounted on the drive motor shaft, and the braking effort is transmitted through the gear reduction. The brake is activated by the control handle position.
Frame
Easy serviceability of all components in the power unit and simple adjustment to compensate for tyre wear is possible. Single swing-out door design allows easy access to all components. Contoured panels around the power unit and mast give maximum protection to the operator and internal components.
Mast
High visibility two and three-stage mast design features nested I-beams and angled rollers. Lift cylinders are positioned in the outer I-beam profile for best visibility through the mast and clear view onto fork tips during load handling. Standard equipment includes full free lift for two and three-stage mast. Mast cushioning between stages ensures smooth operation. Heavy-duty mast carriage and chain rollers are sealed and lubricated for life. The WI model features fixed formed steel forks welded to a high visibility backrest, accommodating Euro pallets or other containers without bottom boards.
Control Handle
The robust X10® control handle is designed to allow for optimum turning radius with low steering effort. Nearly all control buttons can be operated with either hand and accessed with minimum hand and wrist movement. The operator’s hands are protected within the handle yoke. The horn switches are integrated into the hand grips. An ergonomic forward and reverse thumb wheel allows for precise manoeuvring. The parking brake is activated at the lower and upper end of the tiller position.
Brake Override Function
For easy operation in tight areas, a brake override function is incorporated, allowing the WI 2300 to be driven safely and precisely at creep speed with the handle in a near-vertical position. The control handle remains within the profile of the power unit at all times, even when performing 90° turns. When the forward/reverse thumb wheel is in neutral position, the parking brake is immediately activated, preventing unexpected movement.
Steering
The centre-mounted X10® handle allows for an optimum turning radius and enables the operator to drive and manoeuvre in very congested areas. Steering effort applied at the handle by the operator is transmitted to the drive unit via a double universal shaft and a maintenance-free self-adjusting steering chain.
Battery
Hinged battery top cover allows easy access to the battery and lift out. The battery compartment offers space for batteries up to 375 Amp. hours.
Safety Regulations
Conforms to European safety standards. Dimensions and performance data may vary due to manufacturing tolerances. Performance is based on an average size vehicle and is affected by weight, condition of the truck, how it is equipped, and the conditions of the operating area. Crown products and specifications are subject to change without notice.
