“The 45N crane is the first model in our new series and brings with it many special features; including telescopic elements, the ability to add elements from the base, as well as large dimensions that will provide the needed lifting power on expansive job sites,” says Antonio Cerutti, CEO of San Marco International S.r.l.

Final testing and certifications will take place this year and this crane series will enter the San Marco production schedule in early 2009.

Gerry Wiebe, Vice President of Sales & Business Development for Eagle West Equipment Inc., stated, “we are very pleased with San Marco™s decision to undertake production of this crane series. The size, reach and especially jib tip hoisting capacity will make this crane series a strong contender in every market in America. We know from past experience that the San Marco product is highly reliable, cost effective to own and operate, and will bring significant value to both crane rental operations and end users.”

Wiebe further stated, “Having this crane series available through our expanding dealer network will bring the value end users need and deserve in these trying economic times. A clear option now exists in this crane class against what has to date been a market dominated by a single brand.”
