The deal was completed last week, but no details of the transaction have been released, it is intended to strengthen Atlas Cranes’ coverage in southern England.

The company said: “Our vision is clear in that the combination of these two successful businesses will strengthen both our positions in the market and help us to offer more comprehensive services to our customers. We believe there are significant synergies following the merger of these two industry leading companies.”
