Crown
Crown Equipment Corporation, based in New Bremen, Ohio, has been a family-run business since its inception in 1945. Today, Crown is one of the world’s largest companies specialising in state-of-the-art material handling solutions. Crown’s European head office in Munich, Germany, is the administrative hub coordinating the activities of all Crown subsidiaries and dealerships in Europe, the Middle East, Africa and India (EMEA), including product development, distribution and marketing. Crown also operates a tight-knit international network of more than 500 locations that combines fully-owned facilities with exclusive dealerships to provide the best possible on-site support to customers in 84 countries.
Crown’s robust, efficient lift trucks reduce Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) in the warehouse and have earned the company a reputation for advanced product design, intelligent engineering, proven reliability and high productivity. But in addition to a comprehensive range of lift trucks, Crown also develops market-leading automation and fleet management technologies. This combination generates superior added value for customers, who benefit from innovative up-to-date products and solutions designed to enhance real-world logistics performance while simultaneously reducing operating costs. As a family-owned company, Crown has a focus on long-term customer relationships.
Crown’s product portfolio includes a versatile range of tough, long-lasting lift trucks suitable for almost any application and any industry – from the unique, multifunctional WAVE® Work Assist Vehicle to hand pallet trucks and reach trucks through to narrow-aisle turret trucks and counterbalanced trucks. They all share one thing in common – a commitment to top quality and productivity, combined with exceptional ergonomics and ease of operation. Crown has won many prizes and awards for its products.
Most recently, Crown was honoured with the IFOY Award 2013 in the Forklift Truck Solutions category for the implementation of its InfoLink® fleet management system. At LogiMAT, the prototype of Crown’s newly developed QuickPick® Remote product – a flexible, semi-automatic solution for low-level order picking – won the Best Product 2013 Award in the “Order-Picking, Packaging, Securing” category. At IMHX 2013, Crown’s WT 3040 rider pallet truck was presented with the Design 4 Safety Award for making a measurable contribution to improving safety awareness.
