Crown Forklift Part
Crown Forklift Parts - 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. At this time, 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 maintain this position.
Now an globally diversified organization, Crown initially 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, Carrollton, where Crown's headquarters currently remain.
In 1949, responding to the public's increasing interest in television, Crown moved into the manufacture of antenna rotators. This product was utilized to enhance television reception and picture quality. The company's lucrative move enabled them to become a leading manufacturer of units until 2001. The company ceased production in October after a decline in the worldwide demand for television antenna rotators.
Crown before long diversified its manufacturing to incorporate the repair of mechanical and electrical components for private and government use in the early 1950's. Following numerous successful bids within a brief period of time, the company had developed a highly regarded business in this field.
With such flexibility and success, Crown was able to diversify its production to include materials handling equipment. Crown began the assembly of forklifts and lift trucks in 1957. The organization believed the industry needed a smaller line of top-quality quality lift trucks. Crown immediately produced an exceptional series of modern equipment and swiftly grew to be the most rapidly evolving materials handling organization with its collection of products.
In 1966, Crown ventured outside of the US material handling market and into Australia. Sydney, Australia is home to the regional center of operations and currently leads Crown's Asia Pacific service, sales and marketing and advertising teams. Crown remains an unwavering market leader these days, supported by exceptional operations, solid sales and solid manufacturing operations.
Two years later, Crown had moved into the European markets by buying up an Irish production plant from a German Company, Steinbock. There they began to assemble PTH hand pallet trucks. Later on that same year, Crown started their first London operation located nearby Heathrow Airport. The sales and service operation of Crown's comprehensive forklift line was available 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.
These days, Crown manufactures a huge fleet of electric forklifts. The company's dealer network, situated in key global 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 facilities in Munich, Germany and in New Bremen Carrollton, which provide promotional sales and nationwide advertising support to all of their dealers and sales personnel. Crown dealers and sales personnel are trained in-house in various disciplines to guarantee the utmost reliability and service. The Munich office was launched in the 1980's and offers purchasing, marketing, engineering and design functions for India, Africa, the Middle East along with Europe. The diverse family of intercontinental sellers and Crown-owned dealers successfully operate in almost 100 foreign city environments.
The 6 USA manufacturing locations for Crown include New Bremen, Carrollton; New Knoxville, Carrollton; Fort Loramie, Carrollton; Celina, Carrollton; Kinston, North Carolina; and Greencastle, Indiana. Crown proudly manufactures globally, building 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.
Through its numerous clientele on all sides of the world, Crown has built an outstanding reputation as a producer of forward-thinking, safe and reliable machines. The company has been awarded more than 50 prominent design awards and the products that Crown develops continues to attain credit for innovation and top design excellence. For example, 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 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, providing the operator with many comfort alternatives to lean, sit or stand, along with its unmatched productivity capability.
