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. Currently, his son, James F. Dicke II, is Chairman and CEO. James F. Dicke III, serves as the company Head at the moment, becoming the fourth generation of the Dicke family to uphold this position.
Now an globally diversified corporation, Crown initially created temperature controls for coal burning furnaces, servicing a small clientèle. The production of these control items took place in a former hardware store based in New Bremen, Ohio, where Crown's head office currently remain.
In 1949, responding to the public's mounting fascination with TV, Crown shifted into the manufacture of antenna rotators. This product was utilized to improve television reception and image 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 global need for TV antenna rotators.
Crown before long diversified its production to take in the repair of mechanized and electrical parts for private and government use in the early 1950's. Following several profitable bids within a short period of time, the company had built a respectable business in this field.
Adaptability and success dominated Crown's ability to diversify once again. In 1957, production into the material handling market began with lift truck production. The organization believed the industry demanded a smaller line of superior quality lift trucks. Crown promptly created an exceptional series of contemporary equipment and swiftly became the most rapidly evolving material handling company with its collection of products.

Sydney, Australia is home to the regional head office and currently leads Crown's Asia Pacific service, sales and marketing teams. Crown remains an unwavering market leader these days, supported by exceptional service, solid sales and solid manufacturing operations.
Two years later, Crown had moved into the European markets by buying up an Irish production plant from a German Company, Steinbock. There they began to build 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 lift truck 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 autonomous dealers.
