Crown expands online store
New Bremen, OH, United States

Crown Equipment Corporation has made the Crown WP Series pallet truck available for purchase through the Crown online store. Online orders of the truck come with free, five-day shipping and a five-year power unit and fork weldment guarantee.
"More than 10 years ago, Crown was the first major lift truck manufacturer to bring the convenience, speed and ease of online shopping to forklift purchases," says Michelle Chapman, director of marketing, Crown Equipment. "As we expand our online offering, we continue to look for new ways to provide advanced materials handling equipment and technology, when and where our customers need it most, to support their growth, cost control measures and safety and efficiency initiatives."
While the transaction takes place online, delivery of the pallet truck is coordinated through Crown's extensive network of retail locations to enhance customer support on a local level.
