T
his is theninthyear for
the compilationof the
AmericanCranes&Transport
ACT
100
list ofNorthAmerica’s
largest crane-owning companies.And
for all nine years one companyhas been
No. 1. That company isMaximCrane

While the companydoesn’t have the
largest crawler fleet in the
ACT

or
even the largestmobile crane fleet in the
ACT

, its total number of cranes
and their total capacities put it at the top
of the list.

expansionof branches and employees and
increases inboth itsmobile and crawler
