Crown Forklift Part
Crown Forklift Parts - Two brothers Allen A. Dicke and the late Carl H. Dicke formed 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 Head at the moment, becoming the fourth generation of the Dicke descendants to continue this position.
Crown initially started with a small clientèle developing temperature controls that they manufactured for coal burning furnaces. The production of these control units took place in a former hardware store stationed in New Bremen, Ohio, where Crown's headquarters currently remain.
In 1949, responding to the public's growing interest in television, Crown moved into the making of antenna rotators. This product was utilized to improve TV reception and image quality. The company's successful move allowed them to become a leading manufacturer of units until 2001. The company ceased production in October after a decline in the global demand for TV antenna rotators.
Crown soon diversified its manufacturing to bring in the repair of mechanized and electrical parts for private and government use in the early 1950's. Following a number of lucrative bids inside a brief period of time, the company had built a respectable business in this field.
With such versatility and success, Crown was able to diversify its production to embrace materials handling equipment. Crown began the manufacture of forklifts and lift trucks in 1957. The company believed the market demanded a smaller line of first-class quality forklifts. Crown immediately produced an exceptional series of progressive equipment and swiftly became the most rapidly evolving material handling company with its assortment of products.
By 1966, Crown had ventured into the foreign materials handling markets by opening up shop in Sydney, Australia. Sydney is at this time a regional center of operations for Crown for all Pacific Asian sales, marketing, and services. Crown remains an unwavering market leader today, supported by exceptional operations, solid sales and solid manufacturing operations.
In 1968, Crown established itself in the European market 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 complete lift truck line was offered in the UK by the end of the decade. In the early 1970's, Crown expanded and began marketing forklifts across Europe through autonomous sellers.
These days, Crown manufactures an enormous fleet of electric lift trucks. The company's vendor network, situated in key global markets, consists of both Crown-owned and independently-owned dealers. 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 nationwide advertising support to all of their sellers and sales personnel. Crown dealers and sales personnel are trained in-house in many disciplines to ensure the utmost reliability and service. The Munich office was launched in the 1980's and provides purchasing, marketing, engineering and design functions for India, Africa, the Middle East along with Europe. The diverse family of intercontinental sellers and Crown-owned sellers successfully 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 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 over 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 successful status as a consistent, trustworthy and progressive company by satisfied customers worldwide. The company has earned over 50 distinguished design awards and the Crown products 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 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 industry original, offering the operator with multiple comfort choices to lean, sit or stand, along with its unequaled productivity capability.
