Crown Equipment Corporation recently recognized the outstanding performance and commitment to customer service by its best North American company-owned branches and independent dealers.
The most prestigious honor bestowed by Crown Equipment is the James F. Dicke Pioneer award, which is named after the company’s founder. Material Handling Supply of Pennsauken, New Jersey, and Crown Lift Trucks, Evansville, Indiana, each earned this recognition as Crown’s best performing dealer and branch, respectively. This is the first time each organization earned the Pioneer award after earning other recognition from Crown in prior years.

The total team effort concept was echoed by David Smith, branch manager, Crown Lift Trucks in Evansville, who added, “We are honored to have Crown recognize our branch.
