The business has managed to acquire a vast number of design awards over the years, which is a great testimony of their state of the art designs and and products. However amazing these awards are, the company still states that the number of awards that they have won over the years is not the most important figure for measuring their success. Crown focus on making sure that the operators of their equipment continue to have an input in the design of the forklifts and other equipment, as well as how the operators benefit from the products that are produced by the company.

This viewpoint will keep the custom that they have managed to build up since the company was first established in 1965 as well as appeal to other operators wanting more tailored equipment.
