Crown Traction Potentiometer Kit Standard – CR140745-001-0S

The traction potentiometer is what tells a Crown electric lift truck's control system how far the operator has moved the travel control, translating that mechanical position into the signal that sets drive speed and direction. This Crown kit rebuilds that sensing point in the traction circuit, restoring smooth, proportional throttle response when a worn potentiometer starts causing surging, dead spots, or erratic acceleration. A potentiometer wears at the wiper track over thousands of cycles, and once the track develops dead or noisy spots the truck's speed control turns jumpy, the signal the pot is due for replacement.

This is the standard configuration of the kit, built to Crown's specification for the traction control on its electric lift trucks. As a genuine Crown potentiometer kit, it seats in the original location and mates to the truck's existing linkage and wiring. Confirm the kit matches the traction control on the specific Crown truck being serviced, since Crown catalogs more than one potentiometer configuration across its lineup.
