May 17, 2006 — WHECO Corp., Richland, Wash., is opening a crane service center in Aiken, S.C., in an effort to meet demand for the company's services in the Eastern United States. Strategically located to service a large geographic area, the 30-acre, 43,000-square-foot facility includes two 30-ton overhead cranes and will accommodate WHECO's full turnkey crane repair and restoration capabilities. 

 

“While we are well-known nationally, we saw a need in the market for a full-service facility on the East Coast,” said Ron Williams, WHECO chairman and CEO.

 

The new facility will house a full fabrication and hydraulic service center, as well as a full-service machine shop and multiple service bays specializing in turnkey accident restoration. With a convenient rail spur that runs directly into the new facility, clients can take advantage of this cost-effective transportation solution for machines and related components.

 

Williams said the new facility will allow the company's highly skilled technicians to work in a controlled environment to perform WHECO's specialized services. “In Aiken, we will be able to do everything we are able to do at our West Coast facilities.”
