Manitowoc expands US structural repair facility

Manitowoc has expanded its Rapid Response Shop at its Shady Grove, Pennsylvania, manufacturing facility, adding capacity for aftermarket structural crane repairs and component fabrication across all four of its brands: Manitowoc, Grove, Potain, and National Crane.

The facility handles structural and component work too large or complex for field repair, including fabricated components, lacings for crawler, tower, and mobile crane jibs, and structural refurbishment. Same-day emergency lacing orders are available, with standard delivery times of 24 hours for unpainted lacings and 48 hours for painted.

The expanded shop runs two lacing-cutting machines across two shifts and adds large plasma, laser, and oxy-fuel cutting tables, CNC equipment, milling, lathe, and boring mill resources, press brake capability up to 900 US tons, and blast, wash, prep, and paint areas. Average employee tenure at the facility is more than 20 years.

“The expansion gives customers direct access to Manitowoc’s factory expertise — the welders, technicians, engineers, and support teams who understand these machines from the inside out,” said Josh Garrington, director of product support for parts and aftermarket solutions.

The shop’s position inside Shady Grove gives it direct access to the broader factory’s tooling, fixtures, and engineering resources when needed.
