Wave Work Assist Vehicles boast new height option (WAV50-118) that enables single operator to reach up to 17 ft. compared to 14 ft. with the original WAV50-84. Additional 34-in. boost helps in transporting and lifting materials that formerly would be carried by hand, using multiple operators and manual tools, such as ladders. Can cut labor costs in half by doubling a worker’s average walking speed and by traveling and elevating simultaneously. Supports up to 200 lbs. on load tray and up to 250 lbs. on load deck. Maneuvers in work aisles as narrow as 36 ins. Built-in safety system coordinates travel, lift/lower, steering, and braking controls. Applications include small parts picking, rail-guided operations, manufacturing, and distribution. Crown Equipment Corp., New Bremen, OH
