USA-based Barnhart Crane and Rigging has made its third acquisition of the year having agreed to buy Armstrong Crane and Rigging, including its operated crane rental service and all associated personnel and equipment.
Since 1979, Armstrong Crane and Rigging has provided equipment, expertise, and experienced personnel to serve the transport, rigging and lifting needs of utility and heavy industries in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area. The acquisition strengthens Barnhart’s presence in the upper Midwest, where it already had field offices in Iowa, Nebraska, North and South Dakota and Wisconsin.
“We look forward to working with Armstrong’s personnel and building upon the outstanding service their customer base is accustomed to by backing it up with a national network and a full-time team of more than 60 engineers who can deliver custom solutions for difficult jobs, whether they involve lifting, transporting, setting, or a combination of services,” said Mike Lins, Barnhart branch manager of the new acquisition.
Barnhart is one of the USA’s leading lifting and logistics contractors, with a current network of more than 55 facilities. Earlier this year, the company acquired Madison, Illinois-based Bollmeier Crane as well as St. Louis-based Taylor Crane Rental.
