Bronson Crane already has several Potain cranes in its diverse and growing rental fleet, including the HD 40, Igo 50, Igo 36 and Igo T85 models. It is now actively pursuing sales opportunities. The family-owned company is run by Earl and Jan Bronson.

Joe Maslizek, regional business manager for the self-erecting crane line from Manitowoc, said Bronson’s industry knowledge will offer Manitowoc customers a real advantage.

“Earl Bronson is an experienced crane professional and he has shared that experience to create a solid rental company and dealership,” he said. “The company’s commitment to service combined with its excellent knowledge of crane technology will prove invaluable for customers in Bronson’s territory. We are looking forward to our partnership together.”

Earlier this month, Manitowoc announced Compass Equipment would sell the self-erectors in Arizona, and Capital City Group would sell them in Ohio.
