Customers will continue to receive the same high quality crane service and tower crane service they have come to expect. However, through Barnhart’s coast-to-coast network, customers will have access to the nation’s most innovative rigging systems, wind turbine up-tower services project cargo logistics capabilities, and a department of over 40 engineers.
“Sicklesteel Cranes’ reputation and history is one of excellence” said Alan Barnhart, CEO of Barnhart. “This acquisition will allow customers to receive a broader range of services that should help them lower overall project costs. We think customers throughout the Pacific Northwest will be very pleased with the expansion of services they will experience through this acquisition.” y
