A History of Innovation

Crown’s history began when two brothers, the late Carl H. Dicke and Allen A. Dicke, founded the company in New Bremen, Ohio, in 1945. Today, the fourth generation of the Dicke family continues to lead Crown.

Production of a line of high-quality lift trucks for intermediate-duty use began in 1960. Crown soon became the fastest-growing material handling company in its range of products. Crown lift trucks have earned a reputation as safe, reliable and productive by customers throughout the world, and the innovative spark that fueled Crown’s past success is still alive today. Crown products continue to receive recognition for design excellence, having earned more than 80 prominent design awards.

Today, Crown manufactures a wide variety of electric and Internal Combustion lift trucks and components in 24 facilities throughout the world. Product sales and service are handled by the company's network of Crown-owned and independent dealers located in key markets. Dealer and sales personnel are factory-trained in all disciplines and backed by advertising.
