BARNHART MOVES INTO NEW MEXICO WITH LATEST ACQUISITION

Barnhart has purchased Mountain States Crane of Albuquerque, New Mexico in a year that has seen both domestic and international acquisitions. The purchase includes Mountain States’ operated crane rental service, and all associated personnel and equipment. It marks Barnhart’s fifth acquisition this year and its first in New Mexico.

“Over a period of more than 25 years, Mountain States Crane has earned a reputation for superior service in crane, rigging, and heavy haul by focusing on safety and customer satisfaction. They are known in the industry for their highly trained and experienced operators and riggers as well as a comprehensive and well-maintained fleet. Mountain States’ focus on providing crane and rigging service within a 400-mile radius of central New Mexico complements our branch in Arizona as we expand further into the Southwest,” said Chris Howe, Barnhart Vice President and Southwest Regional Director.

Earlier this year, Barnhart acquired White Crane of West Columbia, South Carolina, Baxter Crane of Tupelo, MS and Holland Crane of Forest City, Iowa. In June, Barnhart added its first international branches with the purchase of NCSG in Canada.
