Crown Forklift Parts
Crown Forklift Part - 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 on that same year. Currently, his son, James F. Dicke II, is Chairman and CEO. James F. Dicke III, serves as the company President at the moment, becoming the fourth generation of the Dicke descendants to uphold this position.
Now an internationally diversified company, Crown originally created temperature controls for coal burning furnaces, servicing a small clientele. The assembly of these control units took place in a former hardware store stationed in New Bremen, Tacoma, where Crown's head office presently remain.
In 1949, responding to the public's mounting appeal of the TV, Crown moved into the manufacture of antenna rotators. This product was utilized to improve TV reception and image quality. The company's lucrative move allowed them to become a leading manufacturer of units until 2001. The company ceased production in October after a decline in the global demand for TV antenna rotators.
Crown soon diversified its production to take in the restoration 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.
With such flexibility and success, Crown was able to expand its production to incorporate materials handling equipment. Crown began production of forklifts and lift vehicles in 1957. The organization believed the industry required a smaller line of superior quality lift trucks. Crown quickly produced an exceptional series of contemporary equipment and swiftly became the most rapidly evolving material handling organization with its variety of products.
By 1966, Crown had ventured into the international materials handling markets by opening up shop in Sydney, Australia. Sydney is at this time a regional headquarters for Crown for all Pacific Asian sales, marketing and advertising, and services. Crown remains an unwavering industry leader these days, supported by exceptional operations, solid sales and strong manufacturing operations.
Two years later, Crown had moved into the European markets by buying up an Irish manufacturing plant from a German Company, Steinbock. There they started to construct PTH hand pallet trucks. Later that same year, Crown began their first London operation situated close by 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 present has a sizable network of Crown-owned and independently-owned dealers in many key international markets providing a vast fleet of electric lift trucks. They are accountable for managing the company's product sales and service.

Crown sellers and sales personnel are trained in-house in various disciplines to ensure the utmost reliability and service. The Munich office was launched in the 1980's and provides purchasing, marketing, engineering and design capabilities for India, Africa, the Middle East along with Europe. The diverse relations of intercontinental dealers and Crown-owned sellers effectively operate in nearly 100 overseas city environments.

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).
