Barnhart Crane and Rigging has acquired Bollmeier Crane, of Madison, IL, including its operated crane rental service, all equipment and associated personnel. The purchase marks Barnhart’s second acquisition of a crane company in the St. Louis metro area this year, following the company’s purchase of Taylor Crane Rental in May.

Barnhart Crane and Rigging has completed its second acquisition of a crane company in the St. Louis metro area this year.

“Together with our earlier addition of Taylor Crane Rental, bringing Bollmeier Crane into the Barnhart family solidifies our presence in the Midwest and gives our customers throughout Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa and Kentucky even better service and more options than ever before,” said Dan Webb, regional director, Barnhart.

Founded in 1985, Bollmeier Crane has a reputation for quality crane rental service in the St. Louis area and throughout much of central Missouri and south-central Illinois.

“For nearly 40 years, Bollmeier Crane has provided lifting services for some of the largest industrial customers in the region, including those in the steel manufacturing, oil and gas and power generation industries,” said Jeremy Hundelt, president and CFO, Bollmeier Crane. “Our loyal customer base will not only continue to receive the same quality service that they have for the past four decades but will see even greater benefits due to Barnhart’s nationwide footprint, its dedicated engineering and design team, expertise in project cargo logistics, and its own fleet of trucks, barges and specialized transporters.”
