The Crown Affair
Crown Equipment Corp., New Bremen, OH, prides itself on manufacturing almost 85% of its forklift components in-house, giving them the freedom to innovate and to adjust products for a customer’s specific application.
According to Don Luebrecht, senior vice president, Crown Equipment, customers were seeing problems with the current IC (internal combustion) fork trucks available in the market. Frequent overheating was occurring from clogged radiators due to poor filtration systems while operating in dirty environments.
