Crown Forklift Part
Crown Forklift Part - The Crown company was founded in 1945 by two brothers, Allen A. Dicke and the late Carl H. Dicke. Carl's son and Chairman Emeritus, James F. Dicke, joined the family business later on that same year. Presently, his son, James F. Dicke II, is Chairman and CEO. James F. Dicke III, serves as the company Head at the moment, becoming the fourth generation of the Dicke descendants to uphold this position.
Crown initially started with a small clientele producing temperature controls that they manufactured for coal burning furnaces. The assembly of these control units took place in a former hardware store located in New Bremen, Arlington, where Crown's center of operations presently remain.
By the year 1949, Crown shifted into the making of rotators for antenna due the greater interest in televisions at the time. The product was proficient at improving the picture and signal quality. The company's profitable move allowed them to become a leading producer of units until 2001. The company ceased production in October after a decline in the global demand for TV antenna rotators.
In the early 1950's Crown diversified into the manufacturing and restoration of electronic and mechanized parts for government and private industry. After several lucrative bids within a short period of time, the company had developed a respectable business in this field.
Adaptability and achievement dominated Crown's capability to diversify once again. In 1957, production into the material handling industry began with forklift production. The company believed the industry demanded a smaller line of first-class quality lift trucks. Crown immediately fashioned an exceptional series of progressive equipment and swiftly evolved into the most rapidly evolving materials handling organization with its assortment of products.
In 1966, Crown ventured outside of the US material handling marketplace and into Australia. Sydney, Australia is home to the regional center of operations and currently leads Crown's Asia Pacific service, sales and advertising and marketing teams. Crown remains an unwavering market leader these days, supported by exceptional operations, solid sales and solid manufacturing operations.
In 1968, Crown established itself in the European marketplace by acquiring 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 located near 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 forklifts across Europe through independent dealers.
Today, Crown manufactures an enormous fleet of electric lift trucks. The company's dealer network, situated in key global markets, consists of both Crown-owned and independently-owned sellers. They are responsible for managing the company's product sales and service.
There is Corporate offices in Munich, Germany and in New Bremen Arlington, which provide promotional sales and national marketing support to all of their sellers and sales personnel. Crown sellers and sales personnel are trained in-house in many disciplines to guarantee the utmost reliability and service. The Munich office was launched in the 1980's and offers purchasing, marketing and advertising, engineering and design functions for India, Africa, the Middle East along with Europe. The diverse relations of global sellers and Crown-owned dealers successfully operate in nearly 100 foreign city environments.
The 6 USA production locations for Crown consist of New Bremen, Arlington; New Knoxville, Arlington; Fort Loramie, Arlington; Celina, Arlington; Kinston, North Carolina; and Greencastle, Indiana. Crown proudly manufactures internationally, producing lift trucks 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 over 30 locations in the USA.

Crown has earned a successful status as a dependable, trustworthy and progressive organization by satisfied customers worldwide. The company has earned over 50 prominent design awards and the Crown goods continue to attain recognition for top design brilliance and modernization. For instance, in the 1970's, Crown's introduction 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 industry original, providing the operator with multiple comfort choices to lean, sit or stand, along with its unequaled output capability.
