Crown has taken over by Crellin Handling Equipment's premises.

Crown Equipment Corporation has opened a Crown Lift Trucks sales and service location in southern New England.

The facility, in East Providence, Rhode Island, was occupied by Crellin Handling Equipment Inc. for more than 40 years. An additional facility in Webster, Massachusetts will serve as a satellite location in supporting the southern New England market.

John Rosa, northeast region general manager, Crown Lift Trucks, says Crellin Handling Equipment and owner Richard Crellin have a long history of providing quality customer service in Rhode Island and southeastern Massachusetts.

"We look forward to working with our customers to help ensure they have quick, complete access to the products, service and training they need to keep their businesses running smoothly," he adds.

The East Providence and Webster facilities feature a comprehensive inventory of parts, a full-service maintenance department, battery and charger service and rental fleets.

This marks Crown's third sales and service location to open in 2015. Earlier this year, Crown opened facilities near Richmond, Virginia and Akron, Ohio.

Crown is one of the world's largest materials handling companies which uses vertically integrated processes to design, manufacture and distribute solutions.
