The Ferree product portfolio acquired by Indiana-based Talbert includes crane boom trailers. The deal also includes Ferree’s 60,000 sq ft manufacturing facility at Liberty, North Carolina.

Greg Smith, vice president of sales and marketing at Talbert, said: "A significant number of Talbert trailers are sold up and down the East Coast.

"This new facility in North Carolina not only gives us the ability to increase production and reduce lead times, but also provides us a distribution point to access customers with reduced freight costs and delivery times."
