Crown Lift Truck Service Technician

Step Into the Heart of Our Operation

When the warehouse wakes up in Suffern, NY, you’re the expert who keeps it moving. Your morning might start with a planned PM on a Crown reach truck, pivot to a quick diagnostic on an order picker throwing a code, and wrap with a battery service before you head to an NJ site to assist the team—your mileage covered, of course.
