US crane rental company and distributor Bigge Crane & Rigging marked its latest order for new cranes, with Kobelco, at the ConExpo show in Las Vegas, USA.

On 9 March the Bigge team was out in force, celebrating the order for 14 new crawler cranes from the Japanese manufacturer. The order included 110 US ton capacity CK1100G-2, 160 ton CK1600G-2 and 275 ton CK2750G-2 lattice boom crawler cranes.
