Crown Forklift Parts
Crown Forklift Parts - Two brothers Allen A. Dicke and the late Carl H. Dicke established the Crown business in 1945. Carl's son, James F. Dicke joined the family company later that year. At this time, his son, James F. Dicke II, is Chairman and CEO. James F. Dicke III, serves as the company President today, becoming the fourth generation of the Dicke family to maintain this position.
Now an internationally diversified corporation, Crown initially built temperature controls for coal burning furnaces, servicing a small clientele. The assembly of these control items took place in a former hardware store based in New Bremen, Ohio, where Crown's head office presently remain.
By the year 1949, Crown shifted into the production of rotators for antenna due the increased interest in televisions at the time. The product was able to improve the picture and signal quality. The company's lucrative move allowed them to become a leading producer of units until 2001. The company ceased production in October after a decline in the worldwide need for television antenna rotators.
In the early 1950's Crown diversified into the manufacturing and restoration of electronic and mechanized machinery for government and private market. After several profitable bids inside a short period of time, the company had developed a reputable business in this field.
With such flexibility and achievement, Crown was able to expand its production to include materials handling equipment. Crown started the manufacture of forklifts and lift vehicles in 1957. The company believed the industry needed a smaller line of first-class quality forklifts. Crown promptly produced an exceptional series of progressive equipment and swiftly became the most rapidly evolving materials handling organization with its assortment of products.
In 1966, Crown ventured outside of the US materials handling market and into Australia. Sydney, Australia is home to the regional center of operations and currently leads Crown's Asia Pacific service, sales and marketing and advertising teams. Crown remains an unwavering industry leader these days, supported by exceptional service, solid sales and strong manufacturing operations.
In 1968, Crown established itself in the European marketplace by purchasing an Irish production plant from its parent company, Steinbock, who was a German firm. They began to manufacture Crowns' (PTH), hand pallet trucks. Later that same year, Crown began their first London operation stationed close by Heathrow Airport. The sales and service operation of Crown's comprehensive lift truck line was offered in the UK by the end of the decade. In the early 1970's, Crown expanded and began advertising and marketing lift trucks across Europe through independent sellers.
Crown these days has a considerable network of Crown-owned and independently-owned dealers in many key international markets delivering a vast fleet of electric lift trucks. They are accountable for managing the company's product sales and service.
There is Corporate offices in Munich, Germany and in New Bremen Ohio, which offer promotional sales and national advertising support to all of their dealers and sales personnel. Crown parts, sellers and sales personnel are trained in-house in numerous disciplines to ensure the utmost reliability and service. The Munich office was launched in the 1980's and delivers purchasing, marketing, engineering and design functions for India, Africa, the Middle East along with Europe. The diverse relations of international dealers and Crown-owned sellers successfully operate in nearly 100 foreign city environments.
The 6 USA manufacturing locations for Crown consist of New Bremen, Ohio; New Knoxville, Ohio; Fort Loramie, Ohio; Celina, Ohio; Kinston, North Carolina; and Greencastle, Indiana. Crown proudly manufactures internationally, making forklifts in Sydney, Australia ever since 1966, Queretaro, Mexico since 1973, Roding, Germany since 1986 and Suzhou, China since 2006. Crown also owns branch sales and service center operations in more than 30 locations in the USA. International branch sales and service center operations include locations in Singapore, New Zealand, the Netherlands, Korea, Malaysia, England, Germany, Belgium and Australia.
Crown has earned a profitable reputation as a consistent, safe and progressive organization by fulfilled customers worldwide. The company has earned over 50 distinguished design awards and the Crown goods continue to attain recognition for top design excellence and modernization. For example, in the 1970's, Crown's launch of the side-stance design proved exciting and unparalleled by material handling professionals. Today, this design has gained common acceptance and earned a Design of the Decade award from the International Design Society of America. Once again, more than thirty years later, the 5200S Series Reach Truck is another market first, providing the operator with several comfort options to lean, sit or stand, along with its unparalleled productivity capability.
