Crane and specialized transport specialist Bigge Crane and Rigging, headquartered in San Leandro, California, USA, is opening a branch in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

The company is also forming a partnership with crawler crane manufacturer Kobelco to meet Latin American customer needs.

"We've sold 200 cranes in this market [Brazil]," Weston Settlemier, Bigge president, told IC sister title American Cranes & Transport. "We think there's great opportunity for crawlers in this country. We now form a complete package."
