Crane Hot Line is part of the Catalyst Communications Network publication family.
Barnhart Crane and Rigging Co. recently acquired Mountain States Crane, based in Albuquerque, New Mexico. This purchase includes Mountain States’ operated crane rental service, along with all associated personnel and equipment.
The acquisition marks Barnhart's fifth this year and its first entry into the New Mexico market.
“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.
Barnhart, one of North America's leading lifting and logistics contractors, operates more than 60 facilities across the continent. The company offers a wide range of services, including crane rental, rigging, specialized solutions, industrial storage, and national project cargo logistics, all aimed at providing the lowest total project cost.
With one of the largest engineering teams in the industry and a dedicated R&D department, Barnhart continues to drive innovation in its services.
The company is headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee.
