Bigge Crane Celebrates Milestone at Bauma 2025 with Fifth-Generation Involvement and Liebherr Crane Acquisition
Bigge Crane and Rigging Co. announced the acquisition of three new Liebherr LTM 1100-5.3 all-terrain cranes at Bauma 2025, marking a defining moment for the 109-year-old company. The deal was signed on-site by Hunter Settlemier, representing the fifth generation in the family business.
“Today marks a very special day for me and for Bigge’s history,” said Weston Settlemier, CEO of Bigge Crane and Rigging Co. “It’s my 55th birthday, and I’m proud to be attending Bauma for 30 years. Even more meaningful, I’m here with my oldest son, Hunter—the fifth generation to join our family business.”
The newly acquired cranes will soon join Bigge’s fleet in Northern California, raising the bar in service, performance, and reliability. Designed to meet the demands of modern lifting projects, these Liebherr machines are a strategic investment in quality and customer service.
“Bigge has partnered with Liebherr for over 20 years,” added Settlemier. “Like us, they are a family-owned company, and we share a common philosophy: world-class teams, innovation, investment, and quality. This latest investment reflects our ongoing commitment to bringing the very best to our most valued customers.”
