Link-Belt Cranes has announced the promotion of Brian Elkins to manager of major accounts, effective March 1, 2025. With a career spanning over a decade at Link-Belt, Elkins brings a wealth of experience in both manufacturing and distribution to his new role.

Elkins began his journey with Link-Belt in 2011 as a cost accountant. His expertise quickly propelled him into the marketing department in 2014, where he served as a rough terrain crane product specialist. In 2018, he broadened his industry knowledge by relocating to Portland, Oregon, USA to become the crane manager for Triad Machinery, a Link-Belt Cranes-owned dealership. Returning to Link-Belt in 2021, Elkins took on the role of product manager for rough terrain cranes and most recently served as product manager for crawler cranes.

“Brian’s work experience in both the manufacturing and distribution sides of the business uniquely qualifies him to provide tremendous value to our major account customers,” said Gary Lane, manager, North American sales. “I know Brian will ensure these end users receive the best purchase, delivery and ownership experience possible from Link-Belt Cranes.”
