Crown Proportional Valve – CR123257-002

This proportional valve meters hydraulic oil flow in direct relation to an electrical control signal, allowing smooth, variable-rate actuation of hydraulic functions on Crown lift trucks. Where a simple on/off valve opens fully, a proportional valve modulates spool position so operators get graduated control of speed and feathering as a lever or joystick input changes. Precise flow control of this kind supports responsive lift, lower, and auxiliary movements while helping loads settle without jolts. Rebuilding hydraulic response often depends on a healthy proportional valve, since worn or contaminated units tend to drift and hunt. Confirm the Crown part number and hydraulic circuit against the unit being replaced before installation.
