Barnhart Chicago Branch Moves

August 4, 2011 — Memphis, Tenn.-based Barnhart Crane & Rigging has moved its Chicago area branch 50 miles east to Channahon, Ill.

"Our new site offers many advantages. We think those benefits will be quickly realized by our customers," said Matt Brennan, Chicago branch manager, adding, the most obvious benefit will be the branch's more centralized, convenient geography. "We are now within just a few miles of some of the region's biggest industrial sites. It goes without saying, but northern Illinois and the Three Rivers area are vital to the economy. We hope to play a role in the strengthening of that economy."

 

The new branch will have 72,000 sq. feet of industrial warehousing and storage capacity, rail spurs, and access to water for heavy equipment barging. Also, the new site will have increased capabilities to perform machinery moving projects, and access to one of the largest heavy rigging and heavy lifting inventories in the U.S.
