Crane Hot Line is part of the Catalyst Communications Network publication family.
Manitowoc is partnering with Brooke’s House, a nonprofit dedicated to helping women in recovery, through the sale of limited-edition “Building Together” shirts.
All proceeds will go directly to Brooke’s House, supporting its mission to provide training, resources and assistance for women transitioning from addiction to recovery.
Beyond financial support, Manitowoc is committed to creating career opportunities.
The company has trained and hired more than a dozen Brooke’s House participants, integrating them into its welding and assembly operations.
These women now contribute to manufacturing mobile hydraulic cranes, crawler cranes and boom trucks for Manitowoc brands, including Grove, National Crane and Shuttlelift.
“Manitowoc believes in the mission of Brooke’s House, and we recognize the challenges these women face as they re-enter the workforce,” Dave Hull, Manitowoc’s general manager said.
“We’re proud to offer them not just jobs but meaningful careers with sustainable income and limitless potential.”
Manitowoc’s six-week welding school has helped several women start new careers.
One participant shared how rewarding it feels to “put something together with your own hands and feel so well-accepted in this heavy manufacturing environment.”
The “Building Together” shirts symbolize hope and second chances.
By purchasing one, supporters help raise awareness for Brooke’s House and its mission to combat addiction and provide opportunities for women in recovery.
Shirts are available for order now. Join Manitowoc in empowering women, building futures and fighting addiction.
