An aisle that goes dark costs money by the pallet. When a reach truck goes down in your narrow-aisle storage, that storage location is effectively out of service until the truck comes back or a replacement unit shows up. The Crown RR 5700 is designed to minimize that scenario: it runs on AC motors throughout, the mast system extends smoothly to heights past 400 inches in some configurations, and Crown's support network means parts and technicians are accessible in most major markets. The machine earns well when it's running, and it's built to keep running.
The RR 5700 is Crown's premium reach truck platform, available in single-reach and double-deep configurations with capacities from 3,000 to 4,500 pounds and lift heights from 224 to 430+ inches depending on mast and pantograph setup. That range covers standard four-level rack through very-high-lift applications where a turret truck would be overkill and a standard reach truck runs out of mast.
We fund the RR 5700 from our $50,000 floor, covering new trucks, used units from dealer or private sale, multi-unit fleet orders, andsale-leaseback transactionson trucks already in your fleet. B and C credit is part of our everyday underwriting. We look at the operation, the asset, and the numbers in your bank statements. Most deals go from application to funded within seven to fourteen days.
The RR 5700 Spec Sheet in Plain Language
Reach trucks earn their money in high-density narrow-aisle storage, and the specs that matter most are lift height, capacity at height, aisle width requirement, and battery runtime. The RR 5700 answers those questions clearly.
Lift height on the RR 5700 extends from 224 inches in the standard configuration to over 430 inches with the tall-mast option and extended pantograph. At maximum height, Crown's mast interlace design minimizes the fork-end shift that occurs on lesser reach trucks when you're placing a pallet at 36 feet, which matters in tight slot tolerance applications where the pallet position relative to the beam must be precise.
The pantograph reach mechanism extends roughly 25 inches in front of the drive wheels, which is what allows storage in narrow aisles, typically 8.5 to 9.5 feet wide. Compare that to the 11 to 12 feet a counterbalance truck needs and you can see why a reach truck pays for itself in real estate savings alone in a high-cube DC.
- Capacity: 3,000 to 4,500 lbs at specified load center
- Lift heights: 224 to 430+ inches depending on mast configuration
- Aisle width requirement: approximately 8.5 to 9.5 feet
- AC traction and lift motors for consistent performance and low maintenance
- Available in single-reach and double-deep pantograph configurations
- Crown Access 1 2 3 for operator performance management
The double-deep pantograph configuration allows storing two pallets deep in a single reach, effectively doubling storage density in standard reach-truck aisles. This requires double-deep pallet racking, and your FIFO discipline matters more with double-deep, but the density gain can justify the investment. We finance both single and double-deep RR 5700 units on the same terms. See also our page ondouble-deep reach truck financingfor more on that application.
Why Crown RR 5700 Units Stay in High Demand
Crown is manufactured in the United States, and their reach truck line has a reputation for mast quality and longevity that holds resale value better than many competing brands. A used Crown RR 5700 with 8,000 hours that has been maintained well typically retains meaningful value because fleet managers know what they're getting. That resale strength supports the financing: we can advance confidently against used Crown reach trucks because the collateral holds its value.
The other factor driving demand is the continued growth ofe-commerce fulfillmentoperations. As more DCs are being purpose-built or retrofitted for high-density narrow-aisle storage, the reach truck fleet is expanding faster than the counterbalance fleet in new installations. If you're building or expanding a DC, the RR 5700 or a similar Crown platform is likely in the spec. Financing that fleet correctly from day one matters for your cash flow through the ramp-up period when the building isn't yet at full throughput.
What You Need to Apply
For deals under $400,000, we operate on anapplication-only basis. That means: signed one-page application, recent business operating statements, and the invoice or quote from the dealer (or title and VIN for a private-party purchase). No tax returns, no business plan, no financial statements.
For fleet deals above $400,000, we'll ask for two years of business tax returns or financial statements. Even those larger deals don't require months of underwriting time. If your documents are clean and your bank statements reflect consistent revenue, we can move quickly regardless of deal size.
Credit-wise, we underwrite B and C credit regularly. A derogatory item, a prior business tax lien that's resolved, or a score in the 550 to 620 range doesn't automatically disqualify a deal. We look at the full picture: how long you've been in business, the consistency of your revenue, the asset quality, and whether your current cash flow supports the proposed payment.
Related Equipment Worth Considering
If your application requires man-up capability, where the operator rides the mast up to the pick height rather than reaching from the floor, the turret truck is a different product category than the RR 5700. We also finance those underturret truck and very-narrow-aisle equipment financing. The RR 5700 is a man-down reach truck, meaning the operator stays at floor level while the mast and pantograph extend up to place or retrieve pallets.
For the counterbalance needs in your facility alongside the reach truck fleet, consider theCrown FC 5200 counterbalance. Most facilities running RR 5700 reach trucks in the storage aisles also need a counterbalance truck for receiving and staging, and financing the whole mixed fleet through one desk simplifies the process.
