Crown Forklift Parts
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 business 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 at the moment, becoming the fourth generation of the Dicke family to maintain this position.
Now an globally diversified company, Crown first designed temperature controls for coal burning furnaces, servicing a small client base. The production of these control units took place in a former hardware store stationed in New Bremen, San Bernardino, where Crown's headquarters currently remain.
By the year 1949, Crown moved into the making of rotators for antenna due the greater fascination with televisions at the time. The product was proficient at improving the image and reception quality. The company's successful move allowed them to become a leading maker 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 mechanical machinery for government and private market. After a number of lucrative bids within a brief 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 include materials handling equipment. Crown began the manufacture of forklifts and lift trucks in 1957. The organization believed the market required a smaller line of top-quality quality forklifts. Crown quickly created an exceptional series of modern equipment and swiftly evolved into the most rapidly evolving material handling company with its range of products.
By 1966, Crown had ventured into the overseas materials handling markets by opening up shop in Sydney, Australia. Sydney is at the moment a regional center of operations for Crown for all Pacific Asian sales, marketing and advertising, and services. Crown remains an unwavering industry leader today, supported by exceptional service, solid sales and solid manufacturing 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 started to construct PTH hand pallet trucks. Later on that same year, Crown started their first London operation located near Heathrow Airport. The sales and service operation of Crown's comprehensive forklift line was offered 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 sellers.
Currently, Crown manufactures a massive fleet of electric lift trucks. The company's supplier network, based in key global markets, consists of both Crown-owned and independently-owned dealers. They are accountable for handling the company's product sales and service.
