Crown Forklift Parts
Crown Forklift Parts - Two brothers Allen A. Dicke and the late Carl H. Dicke created the Crown business in 1945. Carl's son, James F. Dicke joined the family company later on that year. At this time, his son, James F. Dicke II, is Chairman and CEO. James F. Dicke III, serves as the company Head today, becoming the fourth generation of the Dicke descendants to continue this position.
Crown initially started with a small clientele producing temperature controls that they manufactured for coal burning furnaces. The production of these control units took place in a former hardware store based in New Bremen, Burbank, where Crown's center of operations presently remain.
By the year 1949, Crown shifted into the production of rotators for antenna due the greater interest in televisions at the time. The product was able to improve the picture and reception quality. The company's profitable 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 TV antenna rotators.
In the early 1950's Crown diversified into the manufacturing and restoration of electronic and mechanized components for government and private market. Following a number of lucrative bids inside a brief period of time, the company had developed a reputable business in this field.
With such adaptability and achievement, Crown was able to diversify its production to embrace materials handling equipment. Crown started production of forklifts and lift vehicles in 1957. The organization believed the industry needed a smaller line of superior quality lift trucks. Crown immediately fashioned an exceptional series of progressive equipment and swiftly became the most rapidly evolving material handling company with its range of products.
In 1966, Crown ventured outside of the US materials handling marketplace and into Australia. Sydney, Australia is home to the regional head office and at present leads Crown's Asia Pacific service, sales and marketing and advertising teams. Crown remains an unwavering industry leader these days, supported by exceptional operations, solid sales and strong manufacturing operations.
Two years later, Crown had moved into the European marketplaces by buying up an Irish production plant from a German Company, Steinbock. There they began to build 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 accessible in the UK by the end of the decade. In the early 1970's, Crown expanded and began marketing lift trucks across Europe through independent sellers.
These days, Crown manufactures a vast fleet of electric forklifts. The company's supplier network, located in key international markets, consists of both Crown-owned and independently-owned sellers. They are responsible for handling the company's product sales and service.
There is Corporate offices in Munich, Germany and in New Bremen Burbank, which provide promotional sales and national advertising support to all of their dealers and sales personnel. Crown sellers 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 delivers purchasing, marketing, 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 overseas city environments.
The 6 USA production locations for Crown include New Bremen, Burbank; New Knoxville, Burbank; Fort Loramie, Burbank; Celina, Burbank; Kinston, North Carolina; and Greencastle, Indiana. Crown proudly manufactures globally, 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 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 successful status as a reliable, trustworthy and progressive company by satisfied clients worldwide. The company has earned over 50 prominent design awards and the Crown goods continue to attain recognition for top design superiority and innovation. Just to illustrate, in the 1970's, Crown's launch of the side-stance design proved exciting and unparalleled by materials handling specialists. Today, this design has acquired widespread 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 first, offering the operator with multiple comfort alternatives to lean, sit or stand, along with its unmatched productivity capacity.
