Barnhart acquires Mountain States Crane

Barnhart Crane and Rigging Co has purchased Mountain States Crane of Albuquerque, New Mexico. The acquisition includes Mountain States’ operated crane rental service, all associated personnel and equipment. The purchase marks Barnhart’s fifth acquisition this year and its first in New Mexico.

They are known in the industry for their highly-trained and experienced operators and riggers as well as a comprehensive and well-maintained fleet. Mountain States’ focus on providing crane and rigging service within a 400mile radius of central New Mexico complements our branch in Arizona as we expand further into the Southwest,” said Chris Howe, Barnhart’s vice president and Southwest regional director.
