Company Overview
About Crown Headquartered in New Bremen, Ohio, United States
Crown Equipment Corporation was founded in 1945 by brothers Carl and Allen Dicke in New Bremen, Ohio, where the company remains headquartered today. Crown began by making temperature controls for coal furnaces and later television antenna rotators before entering the material handling industry, introducing its first line of lift trucks in 1960.
Crown designs and builds a comprehensive range of electric and internal-combustion lift trucks, including pallet trucks, walkie stackers, reach trucks, and order pickers, along with the motors, batteries, and chargers that power them. The company manufactures a large share of its own components in-house, an approach it credits for the reliability and integrated design of its equipment.
Still owned and led by the Dicke family into its fourth generation, Crown employs roughly 19,600 people and operates manufacturing and retail locations around the world. It has earned more than 100 international design awards and a reputation for operator ergonomics, safety, and long service life, making it one of the most recognized names in warehouse and material handling equipment.
Crown serves Canadian businesses through Crown Lift Trucks branches and authorized dealers, providing sales, rental, parts, and service across the country. Its electric lift trucks, reach trucks, and pallet equipment are common in Canadian warehouses and distribution centres, giving rental fleets a well-supported and familiar brand to offer customers.

Why Canada Chooses Crown
Crown in the Canadian Construction Market
North American-built equipment has always had a natural home in Canadian construction. Crown's engineering teams develop machines with the full range of Canadian job site conditions in mind - from coastal British Columbia's wet, clay-heavy soils to the frozen ground of northern Manitoba, the sandy terrain of Southern Ontario aggregate operations, and the remote Arctic sites accessible only by ice road. This continent-native understanding of conditions translates to equipment that simply works in Canada's challenging environments without extensive modification.
The Crown dealer network across Canada is one of the most comprehensive in the industry, with authorized service centers in every province offering factory-trained technicians, stocked parts depots, and rapid response support. For large contractors running a Crown-dominant fleet, this infrastructure means predictable maintenance costs, fast parts availability, and confidence that manufacturer support is never far away.
The cold-weather capabilities engineered into Crown machines - block heaters, battery isolators, cold-grade hydraulic fluids, and heated cab packages - are not optional extras on Canadian worksites; they are standard expectations. Crown delivers these as baseline features across most of their line-up, reducing the setup time and outfitting costs that come with less climate-conscious competitors.
Renting Crown equipment through HeavyRentals.ca gives you access to owner-maintained machines from across Canada. Our platform's verified owner network means every Crown unit listed has been maintained to the standards that protect your production and your crew's safety. Daily, weekly, and monthly rental options give you the flexibility to scale your fleet to project demands - with no long-term capital commitment.

Canadian Job Sites
Where Crown Equipment Performs Across Canada
Urban Infill & Residential
Tight access, noise restrictions, and proximity to existing structures define urban construction in Canadian cities. Compact equipment excels where larger machines simply cannot operate.
Landscaping & Site Prep
From residential landscaping to commercial site preparation across Canada's suburbs, compact loaders and skid steers are the workhorses of smaller-scale earthmoving.
Utilities & Infrastructure
Municipal utility work - water main replacement, storm drain installation, and road cuts - frequently requires equipment small enough to work in live traffic corridors and tight rights-of-way.
Cold-Weather Readiness
Canada's winters test every piece of machinery. Temperatures in northern and central Canada regularly drop below -30°C, with extreme cold snaps reaching -50°C with windchill in some regions. Crown equipment is built to start, operate, and maintain full productivity in these conditions - with hydraulic systems, engine cooling, and electrical systems engineered for extreme cold as a standard expectation, not an afterthought. On HeavyRentals.ca, Canadian Crown owners maintain their machines with winter-grade fluids and cold-climate service packages so you get equipment that performs when temperatures plunge.
Regulatory Compliance
Canada's provincial and federal construction regulations set rigorous standards for equipment safety, emissions, and operator protection. Crown machines certified for the Canadian market meet Transport Canada, CSA, and provincial WorkSafe regulations out of the factory. This compliance infrastructure gives contractors the confidence to deploy rented equipment on government contracts, municipal projects, and safety-audited job sites without modification or variance requests. When you rent Crown through HeavyRentals.ca, you're getting market-certified equipment from verified Canadian owners.

Rental Advantage
Why Rent Crown Instead of Buying?
Zero Depreciation
New heavy equipment depreciates 20-30% in its first year. Renting means you pay only for utilization - no balance sheet liability, no residual value risk on your fleet.
Right Machine Every Job
Different projects need different equipment configurations. Renting from HeavyRentals.ca means you can spec the exact Crown model for the task - not make do with what you own.
No Maintenance Overhead
When you rent, maintenance is the owner's responsibility. Skip the dealer relationship management, service scheduling, and parts inventory that comes with ownership.
Scale With Your Pipeline
Whether you have one project or twelve running simultaneously, a rental approach scales your fleet instantly - add machines when busy, return them when idle. No fixed costs.
Crown Rental for Canadian Projects
Canada's project-based construction economy - driven by short paving and building seasons, annual municipal budget cycles, and the boom-bust nature of resource extraction - is structurally well-suited to equipment rental. Contractors who rent their Crown fleet through HeavyRentals.ca maintain the flexibility to scale operations seasonally without the long-term overhead of ownership.
For smaller contractors, municipalities, and first-time operators, renting also provides access to higher-specification Crown machines than their capital budget could support through purchase. A tier-one excavator or high-capacity crane that would be unattainable as a purchase becomes an accessible weekly rental for a specific project phase.
Crown maintains an established Canadian dealer network through Available through Crown Lift Trucks branches and dealers in Canada, ensuring parts and factory support are available in every major market - adding an additional layer of confidence when renting Crown equipment from verified owners on our platform.
