Product Description
CR-813096-001 controller is an electronic motor controller designed for Crown WP series electric pallet jacks (e.g., the Crown WP 2300 model). This 24-volt DC controller governs the pallet jack’s drive motor, providing precise speed control, acceleration, and braking for safe material handling.
It is an aftermarket replacement unit built to meet or exceed the original Crown specifications, serving as a direct substitute for Crown part number 813096-001. All electrical connectors, mounting points, and functions are designed to match the OEM specifications.
Note: This controller is compatible with Crown WP 2000/2300 series walkie pallet trucks that use the SEM (Separately Excited Motor) traction system.

Product Specifications
Features of this Product
Designed for 24 V DC systems using MOSFET control and separately excited motor (SEM) drives; offers smooth acceleration, regenerative braking, ramp-hold, and programmable rabbit/turtle performance.
Precise speed and torque control, both loaded and unloaded; SEM design eliminates directional contactors, reducing maintenance.
Safety features built in: over-/under-voltage protection, overcurrent cutoff, thermal overload protection, anti-roll gate, and LED diagnostics.
Plug‑and‑play with Crown WP 2000/2300 units—matches OEM power‑terminal and connector layout; no modifications needed.
Available new (no core charge) or rebuilt (CR‑813096‑001‑R, requires exchange); offers OEM-level reliability at lower aftermarket cost.
Factory‑tested and compatible with control‑handle sensors: throttle pot, brake override, lift/lower interlocks; supports creep speed, safety overrides, and travel logic.
Cost‑effective OEM alternative with equal or better performance, minimizing downtime and maintenance expense.
Warranty Information
1-year limited manufacturer warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What models of Crown equipment does the CR-813096-001 controller work with?
A: Compatible with Crown WP 2300 series pallet jacks (WP 2315, WP 2330, WP 2340), and some WP 2000 and early WP 3000 models with 24V SEM systems. Replaces Crown part #813096-001. To confirm, provide your model and serial number.
Q: What does a motor controller like this do in my pallet jack?
A: It regulates power from the battery to the drive motor, enabling speed control, braking (including regenerative braking), and overall drive functionality. It may interface with the lift circuit, but on Crown WP models, lift is typically handled separately.
Q: How do I know if my Crown pallet jack’s controller is bad?
A: Symptoms include no movement, intermittent operation, error codes, or blown fuses. A lit display but no drive may also indicate failure. Technicians test other parts first; diagnostic tools confirm issues like MOSFET or capacitor faults in the controller.
Q: Is any programming or calibration required when installing this new controller?
A: No major programming is needed. It’s pre-configured for Crown WP 2300 units and works out of the box. Basic setup includes securing connections and turning on the jack. Throttle calibration may be required, but no special tools or software are necessary.
Q: Does this controller also control the lift motor on the pallet jack?
A: No. The CR-813096-001 controls the drive motor only. Lift motor control is handled by a separate contactor. It may interact with lift functions (e.g., speed reduction during lifting), but it doesn’t directly power the lift circuit.
Q: What is SEM technology mentioned for this controller?
A: SEM (Separately Excited Motor) allows precise control of motor speed and braking by managing field and armature currents independently. It enables smoother acceleration, regenerative braking, and improved energy efficiency in Crown pallet jacks.
Q: Is this controller new or remanufactured?
A: This is a brand new aftermarket controller with a 1-year warranty. It’s not used or rebuilt. A remanufactured version (CR-813096-001-R) is available separately, offering a lower cost with a shorter 6-month warranty and a core return requirement.
Q: What does it mean if I see “813096-001-0R” or “-R” associated with this part?
A: The “-R” or “0R” suffix indicates a remanufactured unit sold on an exchange basis. Our CR-813096-001 is a new unit. Reman versions have a shorter warranty and require a refundable core deposit.
