Crown will offer training at its new facility

Crown Equipment Corporation will open a new Crown Lift Trucks facility to support customers in northeast Ohio and the surrounding area.

The facility in Green, Ohio, located midway between Akron and Canton, will open later this northern summer and provide customers with a complete selection of Crown forklifts, warehouse solutions equipment and design services, parts and training.

Chuck Rammel, branch manager, Crown Lift Trucks, notes that Crown's products have been available in the area for many years. "This new facility will enable us to be even closer to our customers, providing a complete package of products, service and training to meet their material handling needs."

The new Crown Lift Trucks location will feature a complete parts inventory, a full-service maintenance department, battery and charger service, rental fleets and forklift remanufacturing. Training at the facility will provide service technicians with hands-on instruction, small class sizes and individual feedback to help ensure each student develops the necessary skills to be qualified service technicians.

Crown uses a combination of OEM-owned and independent dealers to distribute its products in North America.

The vertically integrated manufacturer designs and manufactures the majority of its forklifts and components including electric motors, drive units, valve bodies, masts, power units, cylinders, electronic modules, wire harnesses, tynes and seats.

The company's global headquarters is located in New Bremen, Ohio, USA, with regional headquarters in Australia, China, Germany and Singapore. Its employees number more than 10,000 worldwide.
