Crown Forklift Parts - Two brothers Allen A. Dicke and the late Carl H. Dicke formed the Crown business in 1945. Carl's son, James F. Dicke joined the family company later that year.

Dicke III, serves as the company President today, becoming the fourth generation of the Dicke descendants to uphold this position.
Crown initially began with a small clientèle developing temperature controls that they manufactured for coal burning furnaces. The production of these control items took place in a former hardware store located in New Bremen, Ohio, where Crown's headquarters currently remain.
By the year 1949, Crown shifted into the making of rotators for antenna due the increased fascination with televisions at the time. The product was proficient at improving the picture and reception quality. The company's lucrative move enabled them to become a leading manufacturer of units until 2001. The company ceased production in October after a decline in the worldwide need for TV antenna rotators.
Crown before long diversified its manufacturing to take in the restoration of mechanized and electrical components for private and government use in the early 1950's. Following a number of profitable bids inside a short period of time, the company had developed a highly regarded business in this field.
Flexibility and success dominated Crown's capability to diversify once again. In 1957, production into the material handling market began with forklift manufacturing.

Crown remains an unwavering industry leader these days, supported by exceptional operations, solid sales and solid manufacturing operations.
Two years later, Crown had moved into the European markets by buying up an Irish production facility from a German Company, Steinbock. There they started to make PTH hand pallet trucks. Later that same year, Crown began their first London operation situated nearby Heathrow Airport. The sales and service operation of Crown's complete forklift line was offered 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 autonomous sellers.
