Crown Forklift Parts
Crown Forklift Parts - Two brothers Allen A. Dicke and the late Carl H. Dicke formed the Crown corporation in 1945. Carl's son, James F. Dicke joined the family business later on that year. Currently, his son, James F. Dicke II, is Chairman and CEO. James F. Dicke III, serves as the company Head these days, becoming the fourth generation of the Dicke family to continue this position.
Now an internationally diversified company, Crown first manufactured temperature controls for coal burning furnaces, servicing a small client base. The production of these control items took place in a former hardware store located in New Bremen, Ohio, where Crown's head office currently remain.
By the year 1949, Crown moved into the construction of rotators for antenna due the greater fascination with televisions at the time. The product was able to improve the picture and signal quality. The company's successful move enabled them to become a leading maker of units until 2001. The company ceased production in October after a decline in the global need for television antenna rotators.
Crown soon diversified its production to incorporate the repair of mechanical and electrical parts for private and government use in the early 1950's. Following numerous profitable bids inside a short period of time, the company had developed a highly regarded business in this field.
With such flexibility and achievement, Crown was able to expand its production to incorporate materials handling equipment. Crown began the assembly of forklifts and lift trucks in 1957. The organization believed the market needed a smaller line of superior quality lift trucks. Crown quickly fashioned an exceptional series of contemporary equipment and swiftly grew to be the most rapidly evolving materials handling organization with its range of merchandise.
By 1966, Crown had ventured into the international material handling marketplaces by opening up shop in Sydney, Australia. Sydney is currently a regional center of operations for Crown for all Pacific Asian sales, advertising and marketing, and services. Crown remains an unwavering market leader today, supported by exceptional service, solid sales and strong production operations.
In 1968, Crown established itself in the European marketplace by acquiring an Irish manufacturing plant from its parent company, Steinbock, who was a German firm. They began to manufacture Crowns' (PTH), hand pallet trucks. Later on that same year, Crown started their first London operation stationed near Heathrow Airport. The sales and service operation of Crown's complete lift truck line was available in the UK by the end of the decade. In the early 1970's, Crown expanded and began advertising and marketing forklifts across Europe through independent sellers.
Crown at the moment has a considerable network of Crown-owned and independently-owned sellers in many key international marketplaces offering a vast fleet of electric lift trucks. They are accountable for handling the company's product sales and service.
There is Corporate offices in Munich, Germany and in New Bremen Ohio, which provide promotional sales and nationwide advertising support to all of their dealers and sales personnel. Crown sellers and sales personnel are trained in-house in numerous disciplines to guarantee the utmost reliability and service. The Munich office was launched in the 1980's and delivers purchasing, advertising and marketing, engineering and design functions for India, Africa, the Middle East along with Europe. The diverse family of intercontinental sellers and Crown-owned dealers effectively operate in almost 100 overseas city environments.
The 6 USA manufacturing locations for Crown include New Bremen, Ohio; New Knoxville, Ohio; Fort Loramie, Ohio; Celina, Ohio; Kinston, North Carolina; and Greencastle, Indiana. Crown proudly manufactures internationally, making lift trucks in Sydney, Australia 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 consist of locations in Singapore, New Zealand, the Netherlands, Korea, Malaysia, England, Germany, Belgium and Australia.
Crown has earned a successful status as a reliable, trustworthy and forward-thinking organization by fulfilled consumers worldwide. The company has earned over 50 prominent design awards and the Crown products continue to attain recognition for top design excellence and innovation. Just to illustrate, in the 1970's, Crown's launch of the side-stance design proved exciting and unparalleled by material handling experts. Today, this design has acquired 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 multiple comfort choices to lean, sit or stand, along with its unequaled output capability.
