Maxim Crane Opens Central Ohio Branch
Maxim Crane Works L.P. is opening a new branch to serve customers across central Ohio, adding to the crane rental company’s portfolio of more than 50 branches across the U.S. The new branch is located in Urbancrest, Ohio, just south of Columbus.
Maxim Crane Works Midwest regional Vice President Rob Schultz said the new branch will support the growing need for construction cranes at several high-profile manufacturing projects in the region.
“As we continue to grow our business in central Ohio, it makes sense to increase our physical presence near Columbus,” said Schultz. “We believe we can support the growing market here and provide outstanding service to companies who are building this community.”
The branch includes 2,300 square feet of office space, six equipment service bays on 10 acres of land. This expansion will add approximately 50 jobs to the region. Like other Maxim branches, the central Ohio branch will offer bare and operated and maintained rentals of a variety of cranes for commercial construction, infrastructure, and manufacturing projects. Maxim also provides transportation, rigging and engineering services backed by insurance programs that are unparalleled in the industry.
Maxim currently serves Ohio through a Dayton branch and its corporate headquarters located just south of the Cincinnati metropolitan area in Wilder, Ky. Maxim is No. 6 on the RER 100.
