PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE PULICATION

RED DOT AWARD FOR WF 3000 STACKER SERIES

In recognition of its outstanding design, the new Crown WF 3000 Stacker
Series from Goscor Lift Truck Company (GLTC) has received one of the most
sought-after design awards world-wide: the red dot.  The Design Zentrum
Nordrhein Westfalen awards this quality symbol annually for superior design
quality.

The red dot design award is an important indicator of innovation and because
of the international nature of the design competition the red dot is
regarded as a highly prestigious award.

“Following the race for the best technical innovations in the last years,
companies now increasingly focus on sophisticated designs to meet the
demands of target-groups in order to maintain their position in the market”,
says Prof. Dr. Peter Zec, the initiator of the red dot design award.

says Prof. Dr. Peter Zec, the initiator of the red dot design award.

Because of the new emphasis on design it has become difficult to receive
awards in the international design competition and the value of an award
like the “red dot” is immeasurable.

“Crown trucks have often won major European and American design prizes.  In
2004, the Crown X10™ handle for powered pallet trucks and stackers received

                                                                            
                             …/2
two prestigious awards for outstanding industrial design: the iF design
award 2004 and the red dot award for product design.” says Shafto.

The new Crown WF 3000 Series is available from Goscor in both fork-over and
straddle versions for a wide range of applications in retail, distribution
centres and warehouses.  Together with innovative Crown design and
robustness features, the stackers incorporate a short turning radius,
compact power unit, and centre-mounted award winning X10™ control handle
with brake override to provide the best manoeuvrability in the industry.
With its compact design, the WF 3000, currently the most advanced stacker on
the market, is offered in 1.0 and 1.2 ton capacities which can easily
manoeuvre loads in tightly congested areas.
