Crown Forklift Parts
Crown Forklift Parts - Two brothers Allen A. Dicke and the late Carl H. Dicke created the Crown business in 1945. Carl's son, James F. Dicke joined the family business later that year. At this time, 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 continue this position.
Crown first started with a small clientele producing temperature controls that they manufactured for coal burning furnaces. The assembly of these control items took place in a former hardware store stationed in New Bremen, Richmond, where Crown's headquarters presently remain.
In 1949, responding to the public's increasing fascination with television, Crown moved into the manufacture of antenna rotators. This product was utilized to improve 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 demand for TV antenna rotators.
In the early 1950's Crown diversified into the manufacturing and repair of electronic and mechanized machinery for government and private industry. Following several lucrative bids within a brief period of time, the company had built a reputable business in this field.
Versatility and success dominated Crown's capability to diversify once again. In 1957, production into the material handling market began with lift truck manufacturing. The organization believed the market needed a smaller line of first-class quality forklifts. Crown quickly created an exceptional series of modern equipment and swiftly evolved into the most rapidly evolving materials handling company with its collection of merchandise.
In 1966, Crown ventured outside of the US material handling marketplace and into Australia. Sydney, Australia is home to the regional center of operations and currently leads Crown's Asia Pacific service, sales and marketing and advertising teams. Crown remains an unwavering market leader today, supported by exceptional service, solid sales and solid production operations.
In 1968, Crown established itself in the European marketplace by purchasing 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 located nearby Heathrow Airport. The sales and service operation of Crown's complete lift truck line was available in the UK by the end of the decade. In the early 1970's, Crown expanded and began marketing forklifts across Europe through autonomous dealers.
Crown at present has a considerable network of Crown-owned and independently-owned sellers in many key global markets providing a huge fleet of electric lift trucks. They are responsible for managing the company's product sales and service.

Crown sellers and sales personnel are trained in-house in various disciplines to guarantee the utmost reliability and service.
