Crane Talk<br />
An Impressive<br />
Start to 2013<br />
By Lucy Perry Editor<br />
If the economy and shopping sprees are any<br />
indication, the crane industry is off to a healthy<br />
start in 2013. In February and March, crane<br />

Manitowoc, Linden Comansa, and Global Crane<br />
Sales, were crating up components for new cranes<br />
being shipped to Munich, Germany, for Bauma<br />
2013. As manufacturers talked with me about new<br />
all-terrain models that will be debuting in Munich,<br />

show, taking place this month, is generating. Read<br />
