Founded by Pieter Boekestijn in 1943, the company manufactured its own truck mounted crane in 1950 as it focused on vehicle recovery and continued to add cranes to its fleet over the years. Based in Maasland, the company now runs a fleet of 40 All Terrain, tower and crawler cranes, a transport and haulage fleet and a number of boom and scissor lifts.
