Reliability and Precision

Sturdy and reliable products are manufactured in Wilmington. The plant has a long tradition of building HC series crawler cranes that are known for a level of robustness that is beyond comparison.The technology involved in their design and manufacture is geared towards achieving efficient and safe crane operation and lowering transportation costs.

This enthusiasm and precision are also found in the manufacture of tower cranes, which were added to the plant’s manufacturing operations in 2007. On June 1st, 1882, two brothers in St. Paul, USA, decided that it would be better to sell their own construction machine equipment. During the course of the company’s breathtaking rise, Wilmington had the opportunity of seeing its cranes drive both the Panama Canal and Mount Rushmore projects forward.

The impact of Wilmington didn’t stop there, however. In addition to an unending list of important construction projects, its cranes were also used in other projects of undeniable historical significance, such as the Space Shuttle program.
