ALL Names Moyer Tower Crane GM, Adds 11 Units to Fleet

 

Sam Moyer

May 9, 2018 - The ALL Family of Companies has promoted Sam Moyer to general manager of ALL Tower Crane, LLC.  

Moyer takes the reins from Clay Thoreson, who has retired after a crane-business career that spanned parts of five decades. 

In 2014, Thoreson hired Moyer as an application engineer. Moyer had previously worked for 10 years as a structural engineer, but never looked back after joining the crane industry. “Clay mentioned there’s always a new challenge,” said Moyer. “When he described the pace of the work, the problem-solving in the shop and in the field, it resonated with me. And working the last four years with Clay was like going to tower crane grad school.”  

Moyer sees opportunities to expand the Tower Crane division’s role as an engineering hub and to streamline processes for addressing service needs.  

Continuing to modernize the fleet also remains an ongoing commitment, as illustrated by the Tower division’s recent acquisition of 11 new Manitowoc/Potain cranes. The product mix includes IGO T85A (6t/6.6 USt) and IGO T130 (8t/8.8 USt) self-erecting tower cranes, MDT 219 J10 (10t/11 USt) flat-top Crane Control System (CCS) City tower cranes, MDT 389 L16 (16t/17.6 USt) flat-top CCS tower cranes, MD 509-M20 (20t/22.0 USt) conventional top slewing tower cranes with CCS, and an MR 298-H24 (24t/26.5 USt) luffing jib tower crane.

“These additional cranes address a variety of needs for our customers, allowing them to successfully navigate projects with large and small footprints,” said Moyer. “It’s also a harbinger of the demand we are seeing for vertical construction. Central Florida, the Carolinas, Ohio, Chicago, Tennessee — we are seeing big demand in many of our core regions. Our aim is to be the only source customers need to consider for their tower crane needs.”
