Crown Forklift Parts
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 that same year. Presently, his son, James F. Dicke II, is Chairman and CEO. James F. Dicke III, serves as the company President these days, becoming the fourth generation of the Dicke descendants to maintain this position.
Now an internationally diversified organization, Crown first built temperature controls for coal burning furnaces, servicing a small client base. The production of these control units took place in a former hardware store located in New Bremen, Vallejo, where Crown's headquarters currently remain.
In 1949, responding to the public's growing fascination with TV, Crown moved into the assembly of antenna rotators. This product was utilized to enhance television reception and picture 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 demand for TV antenna rotators.
Crown soon diversified its manufacturing to bring in the restoration of mechanized and electrical components for private and government use in the early 1950's. After several profitable bids within a brief period of time, the company had built a respectable business in this field.
With such adaptability and success, Crown was able to expand its production to embrace material handling equipment. Crown started the assembly of forklifts and lift trucks in 1957. The company believed the market required a smaller line of superior quality forklifts. Crown immediately created an exceptional range of progressive equipment and swiftly grew to be the most rapidly evolving material handling organization with its variety 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 presently leads Crown's Asia Pacific service, sales and marketing and advertising teams. Crown remains an unwavering market 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 manufacturing facility from its parent company, Steinbock, who was a German firm. They started to manufacture Crowns' (PTH), hand pallet trucks. Later that same year, Crown began their first London operation situated near Heathrow Airport. The sales and service operation of Crown's complete forklift 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 autonomous dealers.
Today, Crown manufactures a vast fleet of electric lift trucks. The company's supplier network, stationed in key international markets, consists of both Crown-owned and independently-owned dealers. They are responsible for managing the company's product sales and service.
Corporate offices in New Bremen, Vallejo and Munich, Germany offer nationwide advertising and promotional sales support to all dealer and sales personnel. Both Crown sales and dealer personnel are factory- trained in all disciplines to guarantee the utmost reliability and service. The Munich office was launched in the 1980's and provides purchasing, advertising and marketing, engineering and design functions for India, Africa, the Middle East along with Europe. The diverse relations of international dealers and Crown-owned sellers effectively operate in almost 100 foreign city environments.
The 6 USA manufacturing locations for Crown include New Bremen, Vallejo; New Knoxville, Vallejo; Fort Loramie, Vallejo; Celina, Vallejo; Kinston, North Carolina; and Greencastle, Indiana. Crown proudly manufactures globally, making forklifts 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, safe and forward-thinking organization by contented customers worldwide. The company has earned over 50 prominent design awards and the Crown goods continue to attain recognition for top design brilliance and innovation. To provide an example, in the 1970's, Crown's introduction of the side-stance design proved exciting and unparalleled by materials handling professionals. Today, this design has gained widespread acceptance and earned a Design of the Decade award from the International Design Society of America. Again, more than thirty years later, the 5200S Series Reach Truck is another market original, offering the operator with several comfort options to lean, sit or stand, along with its unmatched productivity capacity.
