Barnhart to buy Powell crane rental division

In the USA Barnhart Crane & Rigging will purchase the crane rental division of Powell Companies in Tennessee.

"We feel like this is a win-win for everyone involved," said Alan Barnhart, Barnhart CEO. "This agreement will give our current customers access to a larger equipment inventory. As for the former customers of Powell's crane division, we are going to work hard to build a relationship with them and earn their business. In the end we think they will be very pleased with multitude of new services and equipment we can provide."

Barnhart Crane & Rigging, established in 1969, offers heavy lifting and transport services from 23 branches in the USA. Powell's crane rental division has served the Tri-Cities and surrounding areas for 40 years.
