September 26, 2007 • Abbotsford, British Columbia-based Eagle West™ Equipment Inc. (formally Koenig Cranes North America™), a master distributor in North America for Koenig mechanical self-erecting tower cranes and Wilbert™ tower cranes, has announced that it has signed an agreement to become the North American distributor for San Marco™ International SLR.

San Marco™ International SLR,. based in Borgomanero, Italy, manufactures a complete line of hydraulic self-erecting tower cranes, city cranes and tower cranes and is currently producing between 400 and 500 cranes per year. Its product line includes 16 models of hydraulic self-erecting cranes (SMH series), 10 models of city cranes (SMT series), and five models of tower crane (SMTTH series).

 

In total, Eagle West Equipment and its network of dealers will bring 31 new models of cranes to North America starting September 2007.

 

“These cranes will be the perfect complement to our existing crane lines as there is no product crossover,” said Gerry Wiebe, vice president of sales and business development. “The San Marco hydraulic self-erecting tower cranes cover a market area not currently covered by our Koenig crane line. Further the San Marco city and tower crane line covers our city and tower crane market right up to where the Wilbert tower crane product line starts.”

 

The addition of this product line will add depth to the products offered by Eagle West Equipment Inc. and its dealer network located across the United States and Canada, according to Wiebe. Eagle West Equipment will now supply a complete product range of hydraulic and mechanical self-erecting tower cranes as well as city and tower cranes.

 

Eagle West will represent these crane brands in North America as well as additional crane accessory (HMT & BOSCARO) and generator product lines (Nippon & MASE).
