The company said it has built up its fleet of trucks and trailers for transporting cranes to help its customers' projects stay on schedule. “Having our own fleet of trucks and experienced drivers means that we can control the timing, delivery, and assembly of any crane on any site – or move cranes easily between customers' sites,” said Michael Liptak, All Erection & Crane Rental president. The expanded fleet is part of the company's service model that includes lift planning, logistics, transport and heavy hauling, trained operators, disassembly and 24/7 service.
