Gatwood buys truck cranes

Illinois-based Gatwood Crane Rental Service has taken delivery of three new Link-Belt telescopic truck cranes. The 90 ton HTC-8690s are Gatwood's first Link-Belts.

Bill Stramer, vice-president of marketing, sales and customer support at Link-Belt commented, “We are honored that an industry leading crane rental company like Gatwood would select our 90 ton crane after such a thorough market evaluation.”

Gatwood was founded in 1947 as a crane rental service company for Chicago area contractors. The company has become one of the largest crane rental companies in the Chicagoland area with a fleet of more than 40 cranes ranging in capacity from 10 to 360 tons.
