March 19, 2008 • Bragg Crane Service, Long Beach, Calif., and Link-Belt distributor Nixon-Egli Equipment Co. consummated the sale of 18 Link-Belt telescopic truck cranes at ConExpo in Las Vegas. Ten 90-ton HTC-8690 models and eight 75-ton HTC-8675 Series II cranes will be delivered in 2008 and 2009.
Meanwhile, Imperial Crane Services, Bridgeview, Ill., and Link-Belt distributor McAllister Equipment have worked closely over the last two years to meet the lift requirements of one of Imperial's largest industrial customers. The deal recently culminated with the purchase of 35 Link-Belt cranes, including 32 RTs and three crawler cranes. The RTs range in capacity from 30 to 90 tons and the crawlers are in the 230-ton range. All machines in the package are already committed to long-term contracts for the next three to four years.
“This is the largest single crane purchase in Imperial's history and was based largely on the superior capacities and bulletproof reliability we've experienced with Link-Belts over many years,” said Lance Bohne, executive vice president of Imperial.
Link-Belt Construction Equipment Co. is based in Lexington, Ky.
