WAVE Order Picker Crown – Performance, Safety & Flexibility
The Work Assist Vehicle (WAVE) from Crown is a new-generation order picker. Designed to boost productivity, reduce operating costs and enhance operator safety, it stands as an efficient alternative to ladders, rolling steps or traditional platforms. With a load capacity of up to 115 kg and a working height of 5 meters, the WAVE combines versatility, ergonomics and cutting-edge technology.
WAVE Order Picker Features

Technical Specifications
- Upper load tray capacity: 90 kg
- Lower load tray capacity: 115 kg
- Platform floor height: 2.99 m
- Vehicle length: 1.52 m
- Vehicle width: 0.75 m
Compact and highly maneuverable, the WAVE order picker moves easily through narrow aisles as small as 80 cm wide and reaches a top speed of 8 km/h, automatically adjusted depending on lift height.
Double Productivity with the WAVE Order Picker

The WAVE enables a single operator to do the work of two people safely:
- Simultaneous travel and lifting for smoother workflow.
- Two times faster than walking speed.
- Quick access to picking heights up to 5 meters.
Result: increased productivity, fewer unnecessary trips and measurable ROI from the first year of use.

Enhanced Safety at Every Start

The WAVE order picker integrates the Access 1 2 3® system, automatically managing speed, direction, braking and lifting.
Its built-in safety devices guarantee maximum operator protection:
- Interlocked gates: lifting is impossible if gates are open.
- Safety sensors under the platform stop movement when detecting obstacles.
- Hand presence sensors require both hands on controls for normal operation.
- Dual foot sensors disable all functions if one foot is removed.
A Profitable and Sustainable Investment

By eliminating risks linked to ladder use and reducing handling errors, the WAVE order picker helps you:
- Reduce accidents and downtime.
- Lower costs caused by product damage.
Optimize workforce allocation.
Versatility of the WAVE Order Picker
The WAVE adapts to a wide range of environments:
- Retail
- Warehousing and distribution
