Crown Forklift Part
Crown Forklift Parts - The Crown corporation 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 on that same year. Currently, his son, James F. Dicke II, is Chairman and CEO. James F. Dicke III, serves as the company President today, becoming the fourth generation of the Dicke family to maintain this position.
Crown in the beginning began with a small clientele developing temperature controls that they manufactured for coal burning furnaces. The assembly of these control units took place in a former hardware store based in New Bremen, Salinas, where Crown's center of operations presently remain.
In 1949, responding to the public's mounting interest in TV, Crown moved into the making of antenna rotators. This product was used to improve TV 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 need for TV antenna rotators.
Crown soon diversified its production to bring in the repair of mechanized and electrical components for private and government use in the early 1950's. Following numerous profitable bids inside a short period of time, the company had built a reputable business in this field.
Versatility and success dominated Crown's capability to diversify once again. In 1957, production into the material handling industry started with lift truck production. The organization believed the industry required a smaller line of superior quality lift trucks. Crown immediately produced an exceptional range of progressive equipment and swiftly grew to be the most rapidly evolving material handling organization with its assortment of products.
In 1966, Crown ventured outside of the US material handling market and into Australia. Sydney, Australia is home to the regional headquarters and at present leads Crown's Asia Pacific service, sales and advertising and marketing teams. Crown remains an unwavering industry leader these days, supported by exceptional service, 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 make PTH hand pallet trucks. Later that same year, Crown began their first London operation stationed nearby Heathrow Airport. The sales and service operation of Crown's complete forklift 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 independent dealers.
Crown at the moment has a considerable network of Crown-owned and independently-owned sellers in many key worldwide marketplaces offering a vast fleet of electric forklifts. They are accountable for handling the company's product sales and service.
There is Corporate offices in Munich, Germany and in New Bremen Salinas, which provide promotional sales and national advertising support to all of their sellers and sales personnel. Crown dealers and sales personnel are trained in-house in numerous 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 intercontinental sellers and Crown-owned dealers successfully operate in almost 100 foreign city environments.
The 6 USA production locations for Crown include New Bremen, Salinas; New Knoxville, Salinas; Fort Loramie, Salinas; Celina, Salinas; Kinston, North Carolina; and Greencastle, Indiana. Crown proudly manufactures globally, producing 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.
Through its numerous clientele around the world, Crown has built an excellent reputation as a manufacturer of progressive, safe and reliable machines. The company has been awarded more than 50 distinguished design awards and the products that Crown develops continues to attain recognition for innovation and top design excellence. For instance, in the 1970's, Crown's launch of the side-stance design proved exciting and unparalleled by materials handling professionals. 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 original, providing the operator with several comfort options to lean, sit or stand, along with its unparalleled productivity capability.
