ALL Family Announces Expansions
April 21, 2011 – ALL Erection & Crane Rental Corp., Family of Companies, Cleveland, Ohio, announced two branch relocations, in West Virginia and Florida.
On April 12, ALL Crane & Equipment Rental Corp., of St. Albans, W. Va., celebrated its move to a larger facility in nearby Nitro, W.Va., with a day of grand opening festivities. With 38,000 square feet under one roof, the new location will allow the company to organize its space to service customers more efficiently. Increased shop space will allow the staff to complete more work in a shorter amount of time, with better oversight and supervision by shop foremen.
The new building also has training facilities to keep technicians up-to-date with current manufacturer maintenance techniques and training required by new standards. A conference room will also be available for meetings with customers and staff.
“This new facility gives us the opportunity to be on top of our game and allows us to better manage our business,” said Chad Shamblin, general manager. “We are now able to have all our key people in the same building, allowing us to communicate more efficiently and increase our productivity.”
ALL Crane Rental of Florida’s move to a larger, full-service facility in Tampa, Fla., provides more service bays and nearly triples the previous acreage. The 10-acre property offers five state-of-the-art buildings, which includes a 5,800-square-foot office, a 1,600-square-foot safety and training building, two shops with a total of eight service bays, paint booths, and a large equipment yard.
“We are looking forward to better serving our existing customers and having room for more equipment that will support new customers in the Gulf region,” said Mitch McDonald, general manager of ALL Crane Rental of Florida. “And we now have the space we needed to store and maintain our newest acquisition—a 550-ton GMK 7550 all terrain crane.”
McDonald adds that the company will be able to provide new jobs in the community as they hire more crane operators and safety, sales, and logistics personnel.
