For over 50 years, Steel City Crane has offered operated crane service to industrial clients in the Southeastern United States with offices in Alabama and Mississippi.
Barnhart has 25 branches nationwide, and has one of the nation’s largest equipment inventories including electronic steer Goldhofer trailers, cranes to 1,760t, sliding systems, strand jacks, and the Modular Lift Tower system. The purchase will expand Barnhart’s ability to serve heavy industrial customers in the coastal regions of Alabama and Mississippi. Steel City’s crane inventory will be maintained and managed by Barnhart’s branch in Mobile, Alabama.
Alan Barnhart, chief executive of Barnhart, said: "This acquisition will allow Barnhart to continue to serve those same customers while offering a broader range of services that should help customers lower a project’s overall costs. We think our industrial customers along the Gulf Coast Region will be very pleased with the expansion of services this acquisition allows."
Arlington Capital Advisors counselled and assisted Steel City in the acquisition process.
