Franna expands into Canada with new distribution partner

Franna, the Australian manufacturer known for its pick and carry cranes, has officially entered the Canadian market through a new partnership with Mobile Cranes Canada Ltd (MCC). Based in Nisku, Alberta, MCC will serve as the exclusive distributor for Franna across much of the country, including Alberta, British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island.

The Franna AT24 US, designed specifically for North America, made its Canadian debut with Mobile Cranes Canada Ltd at the 2025 Alberta Heavy Equipment Show.

The partnership represents a strategic expansion for Franna, a subsidiary of Terex, as it brings its versatile lifting solutions to North American customers. MCC’s team brings decades of hands-on experience in sectors such as mining, oil and gas and infrastructure, and has previously worked with Franna cranes in Australia, making them well-positioned to support the brand’s rollout in Canada.

“We are excited to become an official distributor for Franna cranes in Canada,” said Jeremy Ferrett of MCC. “This collaboration allows us to bring innovative lifting solutions to our customers across Canada, enhancing their operational capabilities.”

To mark the partnership, MCC has taken delivery of the Franna AT24 US, a pick and carry crane purpose-built for the North American market. The AT24 US includes key safety features such as integrated overload protection, Franna’s proprietary Dynamic Load Moment Indicator, and an external emergency stop. The crane also boasts an ergonomically designed cab that enhances operator comfort and visibility.

“The team at MCC brings a wealth of application and product knowledge to our customers,” said Terex’s General Manager of Material Handling & Lifting Americas, Andreas Ernst. “I am looking forward to working with them as we introduce Franna pick and carry cranes to the Canadian market.”
