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 company later that same year. At present, 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 descendants to continue this position.
Crown initially started with a small clientele developing temperature controls that they manufactured for coal burning furnaces. The production of these control items took place in a former hardware store stationed in New Bremen, Fontana, where Crown's center of operations currently remain.
By the year 1949, Crown shifted into the construction of rotators for antenna due the greater fascination with televisions at the time. The product was proficient at improving the picture and reception quality. The company's successful move enabled them to become a leading producer of units until 2001. The company ceased production in October after a decline in the global need for TV antenna rotators.
In the early 1950's Crown diversified into the production and repair of electronic and mechanized parts for government and private market. Following numerous profitable bids within a brief period of time, the company had developed a reputable business in this field.
With such adaptability and success, Crown was able to diversify its production to include material handling equipment. Crown started production of forklifts and lift vehicles in 1957. The organization believed the industry needed a smaller line of superior quality lift trucks. Crown immediately produced an exceptional series of contemporary equipment and swiftly became the most rapidly evolving materials handling organization 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 this time a regional center of operations for Crown for all Pacific Asian sales, marketing, and services. Crown remains an unwavering market leader these days, supported by exceptional service, solid sales and solid production operations.
In 1968, Crown established itself in the European marketplace by obtaining an Irish production plant from its parent company, Steinbock, who was a German firm. They started to manufacture Crowns' (PTH), hand pallet trucks. Later that same year, Crown started their first London operation situated close by Heathrow Airport. The sales and service operation of Crown's comprehensive forklift line was accessible in the UK by the end of the decade. In the early 1970's, Crown expanded and began marketing and advertising forklifts across Europe through autonomous dealers.
Crown at present has a sizable network of Crown-owned and independently-owned dealers in many key international markets delivering a huge fleet of electric forklifts. They are accountable for handling the company's product sales and service.
There is Corporate facilities in Munich, Germany and in New Bremen Fontana, which offer 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 offers purchasing, advertising and marketing, engineering and design capabilities for India, Africa, the Middle East along with Europe. The diverse family of intercontinental sellers and Crown-owned dealers successfully operate in almost 100 overseas city environments.
Crown has established 6 manufacturing locations in the United States that consist of: New Knoxville; Celina, Fontana; Greencastle, Indiana; Kinston, North Carolina; Fort Loramie, Fontana; and New Bremen, Fontana. Serving their expanding 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.
Through its numerous clientele on all sides of the world, Crown has built an outstanding reputation as a producer of progressive, 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. Just to illustrate, 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 popular acceptance and earned a Design of the Decade award from the International Design Society of America. Once 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.
