exalt - don't get confused or hung -up on terminology. Just be cause Crown doesn't use the term PREMIUM doesn't necessarily mean that they don't have products designed for light to medium duty operation, etc. A great example for you to study to see what I mean is their SP order picker line. You will note that they are designed differently and some have more optional features available than others - so the unit can be tailored to application needs. Crown has always been know for a quality product. I recall in the "good ole & fun days" of the lift truck industry i nteh 70-80's at the big material handling show held in Chciago's McCormick Place & Cobo Hall, Detroit the Crown boot stressed quality & had the best looking ladies that were dressed to the 9s to reinforce the FABs of their products. FAB - feature, advantage, benefit. At OKI a large Crown dealer in Ohio (Ky & Indiana) area - they used the terms feature, function & benefit - use to work with them closely when they represented Mitsubishi & Komatsu forklifts. And we shared a beer or two after our training programs - of course, we made them pay for the suds (LOL).

Fact of the week
Brothers Adolf ("Adi") and Rudolf ("Rudi") Dassler split their shoe company after WWII due to a bitter feud, and established the rival companies of Adidas and Puma. Their personal animosity and business rivalry divided their German hometown Herzogenaurach. The town became known as "the town of bent necks" due to the intense loyalty to each brand.
