Crown Forklift Parts
Crown Forklift Part - Two brothers Allen A. Dicke and the late Carl H. Dicke created the Crown corporation in 1945. Carl's son, James F. Dicke joined the family company later that year. Currently, 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 descendants to uphold this position.
Crown first began 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, Salem, where Crown's headquarters currently remain.
In 1949, responding to the public's growing fascination with television, Crown moved into the production of antenna rotators. This product was utilized to enhance television reception and image quality. The company's successful move enabled them to become a leading manufacturer of units until 2001. The company ceased production in October after a decline in the worldwide need for television antenna rotators.
In the early 1950's Crown diversified into the manufacturing and restoration of electronic and mechanized machinery for government and private industry. After a number of successful bids inside a brief period of time, the company had developed a reputable business in this field.
Flexibility and achievement dominated Crown's ability to diversify once again. In 1957, production into the materials handling market began with lift truck manufacturing. The company believed the industry demanded a smaller line of top-quality quality forklifts. Crown immediately fashioned an exceptional range of modern 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 marketplaces by opening up shop in Sydney, Australia. Sydney is at the moment a regional head office for Crown for all Pacific Asian sales, marketing, and services. Crown remains an unwavering industry leader these days, supported by exceptional service, solid sales and strong 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 build PTH hand pallet trucks. Later that same year, Crown started their first London operation stationed near Heathrow Airport. The sales and service operation of Crown's complete lift truck line was accessible in the UK by the end of the decade. In the early 1970's, Crown expanded and began marketing and advertising lift trucks across Europe through autonomous dealers.
Today, Crown manufactures a huge fleet of electric forklifts. 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 facilities in Munich, Germany and in New Bremen Salem, which offer promotional sales and nationwide advertising support to all of their dealers and sales personnel. Crown dealers 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 provides purchasing, advertising and 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.
Crown has established 6 manufacturing locations in the United States that consist of: New Knoxville; Celina, Salem; Greencastle, Indiana; Kinston, North Carolina; Fort Loramie, Salem; and New Bremen, Salem. Serving their growing overseas markets, Crown has manufacturing facilities 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 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 profitable reputation as a consistent, trustworthy and forward-thinking organization by happy 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. For instance, in the 1970's, Crown's launch of the side-stance design proved exciting and unparalleled by materials handling specialists. Today, this design has gained popular 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 industry first, offering the operator with several comfort alternatives to lean, sit or stand, along with its unequaled productivity capability.
