Tadano appoints Coast Crane

Coast Crane has been appointed as a distributor for Tadano Rough Terrain and All Terrain cranes for the states of Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Alaska and Hawaii, along with the Yukon Territory, Guam and the Marshall Islands.

As part of the deal Coast Crane has placed a $10 million order for Tadano Rough Terrain cranes for its rental fleet.

Coast Crane already distributes Tadano boom trucks and Tadano/Mantis telescopic crawler cranes.

Coast’s chief operating officer Terry Howard said:“Coast Crane has enjoyed its relationship with Tadano America while representing its boom truck line. It is a pleasure to partner with a company that has the goal to supply the highest quality cranes possible and that listens to its customers and distributors. I am certain our customers will see the same quality and value found in Tadano boom trucks in its Rough Terrain and All Terrain cranes.”

Ron Dogotch general manager of Tadano America added: “The assignment of Coast Crane significantly enhances our aftermarket customer support within the territory. We are excited to have the impressive sales, service and customer support capabilities of Coast Crane representing Tadano. I am confident that their representation of our high quality crane line will be a great benefit to customers in the territories. The partnership of Tadano and Coast Crane is an unbeatable combination.”

Coast Crane, now part of Essex Crane, the crawler crane rental specialist, also distributes other products including Manitex, Lull and Potain tower cranes. Until earlier this year it was a long time distributor of Grove and Manitowoc cranes and still has the right to purchase those cranes and replacement parts direct from the manufacturer.
