The acquisition is Barnhart’s second branch in South Carolina and marks the company’s fourth acquisition in the past eight months.

“We are pleased to welcome White Crane to the expanding Barnhart family,” said David Wills, Barnhart’s regional director of the Mid-Atlantic.

“The company’s customer service is second to none, and their experience in heavy industrial lifts; shutdowns, turnarounds and outages; power generation plants; and the hauling, lifting, and setting of out-of-gauge components makes them a perfect fit for us.”

“Joining forces with Barnhart gives our customers more options by tapping into a nationwide network of branches backed by a dedicated engineering team, customized solutions, expertise in logistics and a fleet of transporters, trucks, and barges,” added Jason Flynt, former owner of White Crane.

With a current network of nearly 60 facilities, Barnhart provides operated crane rental, rigging services, outage planning, specialized solutions for component replacement, industrial storage and national project cargo logistics.
