Manitowoc Crane Group is exhibiting products from its entire crane line at
this year’s CONEXPO 2005 being held in Las Vegas, Nevada, US, from March 15-19.
The company will have a total of 14 cranes, 12 of them new, on its 3530 m2
(38,000 ft2) booth in the outdoor Gold Lot, Stand #440, including three brand
new machines and a number of units making their first appearance in the US. In
addition to the lifting equipment on display, Manitowoc will have areas
dedicated to Manitowoc Crane CARE, its industry-leading after-sales division,
and CraneCREDIT, its financing arm. There will also be a training simulator on
the stand, on which visitors to the booth are encouraged to test their lifting
skills.
This year’s event marks the first combined trade show of all four Manitowoc

Glen Tellock, president and general manager of Manitowoc Crane Group, is
expecting a positive response to the company at the event.
“It was at this show three years ago that we announced our acquisition of
Grove, so obviously we have very fond memories of the last CONEXPO. This year,
visitors from North America and around the world will have the opportunity to
see how we’ve consolidated our position since that time,” he said. “As a
company, we offer the most comprehensive lifting solutions available in the
market today, so I would like to encourage attendees to come to our booth and
learn about the increased the offerings of products and services we have. Our
increased resources allow us to be much more than simply a crane supplier –
they allow us to be a true lifting partner to our customers.”
