Crown Forklift Parts
Crown Forklift Parts - Two brothers Allen A. Dicke and the late Carl H. Dicke established the Crown business in 1945. Carl's son, James F. Dicke joined the family business later on that year. At this time, 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 uphold this position.
Crown first began with a small client base developing temperature controls that they manufactured for coal burning furnaces. The assembly of these control items took place in a former hardware store based in New Bremen, Ohio, where Crown's head office presently remain.
In 1949, responding to the public's mounting interest in TV, Crown shifted into the making of antenna rotators. This product was utilized to enhance television reception and picture quality. The company's successful move enabled them to become a leading maker of units until 2001. The company ceased production in October after a decline in the worldwide need for TV antenna rotators.
In the early 1950's Crown diversified into the manufacturing and restoration of electronic and mechanical parts for government and private industry. Following numerous profitable bids inside a short period of time, the company had developed a respectable business in this field.
Versatility and achievement dominated Crown's capability to diversify once again. In 1957, production into the material handling market started with forklift production. The company believed the market needed a smaller line of superior quality forklifts. Crown immediately produced an exceptional series of progressive equipment and swiftly became the most rapidly evolving material handling organization with its assortment of merchandise.
In 1966, Crown ventured outside of the US materials handling market and into Australia. Sydney, Australia is home to the regional headquarters and currently leads Crown's Asia Pacific service, sales and marketing and advertising teams. Crown remains an unwavering industry leader today, supported by exceptional service, solid sales and solid production 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 build PTH hand pallet trucks. Later on that same year, Crown started their first London operation stationed close by Heathrow Airport. The sales and service operation of Crown's comprehensive lift truck line was available in the UK by the end of the decade. In the early 1970's, Crown expanded and began advertising and marketing forklifts across Europe through independent sellers.
Today, Crown manufactures a huge fleet of electric forklifts. The company's vendor network, based in key international markets, consists of both Crown-owned and independently-owned dealers. They are responsible for managing the company's product sales and service.

Crown dealers 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 provides purchasing, marketing and advertising, engineering and design functions for India, Africa, the Middle East along with Europe. The diverse relations of international sellers and Crown-owned dealers effectively operate in almost 100 overseas city environments.
