The R30XMS3, R30XM3, R30XMA3, and R30XMF3 are specialized electric order pickers from Crown Equipment designed for mid-level warehouse order selection. These models feature modular power systems, lift heights up to 11.5 meters, and capacities from 680–1,000 kg. They use AC drive motors for smooth acceleration and regenerative braking, complying with ISO 3691 safety standards for narrow-aisle operations. 48V 600Ah Lithium Forklift Battery
What distinguishes R30XMS3 from R30XM3/R30XMA3 models?
The R30XMS3 prioritizes ergonomic modularity, offering adjustable control consoles and multi-position forks. In contrast, the R30XM3 focuses on high-density stacking (1,000 kg at 9.1m), while the R30XMA3 has enhanced lateral stability for uneven surfaces.
The R30XMS3’s modular design allows operators to customize armrests and displays, reducing fatigue during 8-hour shifts. Its AC motor delivers 0–8 km/h acceleration with 2% gradeability—ideal for refrigerated warehouses. The R30XM3, however, uses dual pantograph forks for faster load handling (up to 25 cycles/hour). Pro Tip: Pair R30XMA3 models with cushion tires (not standard pneumatics) for outdoor yard operations. A beverage warehouse using R30XM3s reported 18% productivity gains from dual-fork cycling.
| Model | Capacity (kg) | Max Height |
|---|---|---|
| R30XMS3 | 680 | 9.1m |
| R30XM3 | 1,000 | 11.5m |
| R30XMA3 | 800 | 10.7m |
What operating heights do R30XMF3 order pickers achieve?
The R30XMF3 series supports multi-level picking up to 12.2 meters—the highest in its class. Its dual-stage mast maintains stability with 0.3m platform oscillations at full extension.
How do power systems vary across R30X series models?
All models support lithium-ion or lead-acid batteries. The R30XMF3’s 48V 600Ah lithium option enables 14-hour runtime, while lead-acid variants require 8-hour charging.

Lithium systems employ CANbus communication for real-time voltage monitoring, preventing deep discharges below 20% SOC. Crown’s PowerLogic™ chargers replenish 48V lithium packs in 90 minutes vs. 6 hours for lead-acid. But what happens if you mix chemistries? Pro Tip: Never install lithium batteries without upgrading the OEM battery tray’s thermal sensors. A 3PL provider reduced energy costs by 31% after switching R30XMS3 units to lithium.
| Power Source | Energy Density | Lifespan |
|---|---|---|
| LiFePO4 | 140 Wh/kg | 3,000 cycles |
| Lead-Acid | 35 Wh/kg | 800 cycles |
What ergonomic features enhance operator comfort?
Crown’s Adaptive Step™ technology auto-adjusts platform height during ascent, keeping the operator’s center of gravity stable. Multi-function dials replace traditional levers for intuitive load control.
What maintenance maximizes R30X series lifespan?
Biweekly PMs include motor brush inspections (replace at 15,000 hours) and hydraulic fluid analysis. Annual encoder recalibration ensures ±2mm fork positioning accuracy.

FAQs
No—its 1.2m fork length suits single-depth Euro pallets. Use R30XF3 models for 2.4m double-deep setups.
Is retrofitting R30XM3 with lithium possible?
Yes, but requires upgrading the BMS connector from SAE to DIN 44134 and reprogramming the PowerLogic charger via Crown’s EDGE software.
How often should mast rollers be replaced?
Every 4,500 operating hours or when lateral play exceeds 3mm—whichever comes first.
