Crown Forklift Part - 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 company later on that year.

Dicke III, serves as the company President these days, becoming the fourth generation of the Dicke descendants to maintain this position.
Crown initially started with a small clientele developing temperature controls that they manufactured for coal burning furnaces. The assembly of these control units took place in a former hardware store located in New Bremen, Waco, where Crown's headquarters currently remain.
By the year 1949, Crown shifted into the making of rotators for antenna due the increased interest in televisions at the time. The product was proficient at improving the image and signal 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 demand for TV antenna rotators.
In the early 1950's Crown diversified into the manufacturing and repair of electronic and mechanized parts for government and private industry. Following a number of successful bids within a brief period of time, the company had developed a respectable business in this field.
Flexibility and success dominated Crown's capability to diversify once again. In 1957, production into the material handling market started with lift truck manufacturing. The company believed the industry demanded a smaller line of superior quality forklifts. Crown promptly produced an exceptional series of progressive equipment and swiftly grew to be the most rapidly evolving material handling organization with its variety of merchandise.

Sydney is at the moment a regional center of operations for Crown for all Pacific Asian sales, marketing, and services. Crown remains an unwavering market leader these days, supported by exceptional operations, solid sales and solid production 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 assemble PTH hand pallet trucks. Later that same year, Crown started their first London operation stationed nearby Heathrow Airport. The sales and service operation of Crown's complete forklift line was available in the UK by the end of the decade. In the early 1970's, Crown expanded and began advertising and marketing lift trucks across Europe through autonomous dealers.
Currently, Crown manufactures an enormous fleet of electric forklifts. The company's vendor network, stationed in key global markets, consists of both Crown-owned and independently-owned sellers. They are accountable for handling the company's product sales and service.
