MCG Expands Self-Erecting Tower Crane Dealer Network
With experience in the tower crane market that dates back to 1930, Manitowoc
Crane Group continues to demonstrate its commitment to self-erecting tower
cranes in the US as new dealers come on board and customers come to realize
the potential offered by these versatile products.
Many of the
industry’s biggest names are already stocking Manitowoc's self-erecting cranes
(see Figure 1), with new dealers being added regularly – the latest being
Nebraska Machinery, covering Nebraska; and Southeastern Crane, covering
Florida and South Carolina. Complete contact information for all US Manitowoc
self-erecting tower crane dealers can be accessed by utilizing the Dealer
Locator on the Manitowoc Cranes Web site.
Customers also gain access
to Manitowoc Crane CARE through their dealers. Crane CARE is dedicated to the
aftermarket of all MCG products. Crane CARE supplies parts from its major
parts warehouses in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin and also supplies technical
service support, operator handbooks/service manuals, and training. Crane CARE
is also committed to offering world-class service, parts, and sales training
to Manitowoc customers.
Dealers are finding that customers are
quickly becoming converts to the benefits of self-erecting tower cranes.
Simple, rapid, and entirely stand-alone, these cranes are especially suited to
congested sites where space is at a premium. Electrically operated, these
cranes require only one operator, can service a wide area from a single point,
and can be easily and quickly transported. The machines are also very easy to
set up, erect, and dismantle. “Contractors who try self-erecting tower cranes
once tend to stick with the concept,” says SI Equipment Services’ president,
Thomas L. Kowalski.
