Salt Lake City, UT – September 8, 2025 – Mountain Crane Service, LLC (Mountain), one of North
America's premier crane and heavy lift specialists, proudly announces the acquisition of Lennon
Crane and Equipment Company (Lennon Crane), a respected industry leader in crane rentals and
sales serving the U.S. and Canadian markets.
This acquisition marks an exciting new chapter for both companies, built on aligned cultures, mutual
respect, and years of successful collaboration. As part of this change, Mountain will also become an
authorized Tadano distributor, expanding its ability to provide customers with world-class lifting
solutions through Tadano’s renowned line of cranes.
"Good things happen when good people get together. Lennon and Mountain have been friends and
partners for many years. We share the same culture and values, and look forward to working
together," said Paul Belcher, CEO at Mountain. "As we combine our forces, we can leverage our
strengths to expand equipment availability, technical expertise, and industry-leading service to our
customers."
Lennon Crane, founded in 1975, specializes in bare crane rentals and has built an impeccable
reputation for reliability, flexibility, and customer support. Their fleet primarily includes Tadano Rough
Terrain cranes ranging from 35-ton to 160-ton capacity, as well as Telescopic Crawler cranes. Lennon
Crane has served as Tadano America's exclusive distributor in Washington and Oregon, supplying
new and well-maintained used cranes alongside exemplary parts and service support.
"Joining with Mountain Crane represents a great opportunity to enhance the resources and services
available to our customers. These are really great people that align well with Lennon Crane."
commented Gordon Lennon.
"Our core business in the Pacific Northwest will remain the same—late model bare rentals, sales of
quality new and used equipment and great service. We are excited to continue as a Tadano
Distributor and represent the GR, GT, GTC and AC lines under the Mountain name. We have some big
announcements coming and I’m excited to be a part of the team", commented Scott Lennon.
As part of the strategic transition, Lennon Crane's Tadano distributorship responsibilities will transfer
seamlessly to Mountain. Mountain has already placed a significant stock order to bolster their sales
fleet, ensuring customers experience no gaps in equipment availability, parts, or service support.
"We are excited about this new chapter with Mountain, an organization known for integrity, innovation,
and exceptional service," remarked Daniel Melnyk, Vice President of Sales North America at Tadano
America. "This partnership reinforces our commitment to providing continuity and excellence to our
valued customers in the Pacific Northwest and beyond."
Both Mountain and Lennon Crane emphasize their ongoing dedication to maintaining Lennon Crane's
established core business in the Pacific Northwest—bare crane rentals and sales—with no plans to
introduce operated or taxi crane services in the region.
This acquisition is poised to strengthen market presence, deepen industry relationships, and provide
enhanced value to customers throughout North America.
