New Manitex Mobile Cranes Dealer for Southeast US

Crane giant Manitex has announced a new deal allowing distribution of its Badger and Little Giant mobile cranes through Ring Power Crane for the Southeast region of the United States. The new contract allows Ring Power Crane to sell and service the Badger CD4420, Badger CD4430 and Little Giant mobile cranes in North and South Carolina, Florida and Georgia, as well as other locations in the region.

Dave Glass, Ring Power's vice president, said in a statement that the partnership brings together two companies with similar aims and standards.

"Badger Equipment's mission and philosophy very closely mirrors our own," said Glass. He explained how Ring Power will apply the same customer-focussed approach to the new dealership deal as it as with its current business across the United States.

"As a Badger dealer, we will be able to put the customer first and provide the exemplary product support Ring Power Crane is known for," said Glass.

Little Giant has moved its manufacturing operations to Badger's headquarters in Winona, Minnesota, rallying at the location Badger uses to supply Ring Power.

Ring Power Crane will distribute Badger's CD4420 and CD4430 cab-down rough terrain mobile cranes in the Southeast. These models represent Badger's newest series of 20–30t cab down style crane, with lifting capacities of 20 tonne and 30 tonne and 3 or 4 boom sections. They have pick and carry abilities and are designed for heavy-duty construction sites.

Ring Power Crane will now also sell Little Giant's carrier mounted truck and crawler cranes. The mobile cranes for sale are designed for lifting, dredging, pile-driving and scrap handling.

Ring Power Crane has also announced that Keith Summerlin will become Used Cranes Manager for Northeast Florida. He will be responsible for business development with established customers, procurement, attendance at equipment auctions, and appraisals.
