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. At present, 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 family to continue this position.
Now an globally diversified organization, Crown initially fabricated temperature controls for coal burning furnaces, servicing a small clientèle. The assembly of these control units took place in a former hardware store stationed in New Bremen, Ohio, where Crown's headquarters presently remain.
In 1949, responding to the public's increasing appeal of the TV, Crown moved into the assembly of antenna rotators. This product was utilized to enhance television reception and picture quality. The company's profitable 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.
In the early 1950's Crown diversified into the manufacturing and restoration of electronic and mechanized components for government and private market. After several profitable bids within a short period of time, the company had built a reputable business in this field.
Versatility and success dominated Crown's ability to diversify once again. In 1957, production into the material handling industry began with lift truck manufacturing. The organization believed the market needed a smaller line of top-quality quality forklifts. Crown quickly produced an exceptional series of progressive equipment and swiftly became the most rapidly evolving material handling company with its variety of merchandise.
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 today, supported by exceptional operations, solid sales and strong production operations.
Two years later, Crown had moved into the European marketplaces by buying up an Irish manufacturing facility from a German Company, Steinbock. There they began to make PTH hand pallet trucks. Later that same year, Crown started their first London operation stationed close by Heathrow Airport. The sales and service operation of Crown's complete forklift line was available in the UK by the end of the decade. In the early 1970's, Crown expanded and began advertising and marketing lift trucks across Europe through autonomous dealers.
Currently, Crown manufactures a vast fleet of electric forklifts. The company's vendor network, based 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 facilities in Munich, Germany and in New Bremen Ohio, 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 numerous disciplines to ensure the utmost reliability and service. The Munich office was launched in the 1980's and delivers purchasing, marketing and advertising, engineering and design capabilities for India, Africa, the Middle East along with Europe. The diverse family of international sellers and Crown-owned sellers effectively operate in nearly 100 overseas city environments.
The 6 USA manufacturing locations for Crown include New Bremen, Ohio; New Knoxville, Ohio; Fort Loramie, Ohio; Celina, Ohio; Kinston, North Carolina; and Greencastle, Indiana. Crown proudly manufactures globally, building forklifts in Sydney, Australia since 1966, Queretaro, Mexico since 1973, Roding, Germany since 1986 and Suzhou, China since 2006.

Again, more than thirty years later, the 5200S Series Reach Truck is another industry first, offering the operator with many comfort choices to lean, sit or stand, along with its unmatched output capability.
