Manitowoc recently named two new Potain dealers in the United States – Select Equipment, Richmond, Va., and Allstate Crane Rental Co., Charleston, S.C. The companies will represent Potain’s line of self-erecting cranes.

“I have been fascinated with the Potain self-erecting cranes since I first learned about them,” said Brad Talley, owner of Select Equipment. “I see a great potential for self-erecting cranes in the southern Virginia area.”

James Linton, owner of Allstate said the Potain line “will make my fleet of cranes more versatile and agile.”

Select will serve southern Virginia and Allstate Crane Rental Co. will offer the product in South Carolina.
