Home/About
A straight line between the maker and the machine.
We're a UK distributor that sits between global manufacturers and the operators who depend on their equipment every shift.
Our story
Crownline Machinery grew out of Crownline Freight — years of moving vehicles and cargo by air and sea taught us what operators actually need from the machines they buy.
Port operators, logistics yards and transport companies don't want a catalogue. They want the right machine, a fair price, a delivery date they can plan around, and someone who answers the phone after the invoice is paid.
So that's how we work. We source through authorised dealer networks for Kalmar, Hyster, ZPMC and Mercedes-Benz, handle inspection and shipping in-house with our sister company, and stay on as your parts and service partner.
Rooted in the UK. Working wherever cargo moves.
How we work
Three things we won't compromise on.
Authorised sourcing
Every machine and part comes through the manufacturer's authorised dealer network, so warranty, provenance and documentation are clear from day one.
Honest specification
We recommend the machine your operation needs. Sometimes that's smaller, simpler, or pre-owned. Over-specifying helps no one.
Support for the long run
Parts, servicing and straight answers for as long as the machine is working. The sale is the start of the relationship.
Sister company
Shipping in the family.
Crownline Freight ships vehicles and cargo by air and sea. That means your machine — or your urgent part — moves under one roof, from dealer yard to your quay.
What we supply
Quay, yard, warehouse and road.
