Crown C-5 Series Cooling System Implementation

This case study details the implementation of the Crown C-5 Series cooling system by Houston Powder Coaters, a leading custom coating applicator in South Texas. The company faced significant challenges with overheating and downtime due to powder paint residue accumulating in the radiators of its internal combustion forklifts. Prior to the solution, Houston Powder Coaters incurred substantial costs for radiator replacements and lost productivity. The C-5 Series features a dual radiator cooling system that separates cooling for the engine and transmission, significantly reducing fluid temperatures and enhancing overall performance. Additionally, its On-Demand Cooling system prevents debris build-up, thereby minimizing maintenance needs. The results of this implementation included the elimination of radiator replacements, substantial savings in maintenance and repair costs, and an increase in operational throughput, enabling the company to sustain its growth rate. This case study illustrates the effectiveness of the C-5 Series in improving equipment reliability and operational efficiency.
