Harold King, president of Bishop Lifting Products, said: “Louisiana Crane significantly expands and diversifies the crane fabrication and service divisions within our company. LA Crane will be a strong addition to our footprint in Louisiana.”

“We are certainly excited to become part of the Bishop Lifting Products team,” said Anthony Comeaux, president of Louisiana Crane. “This acquisition provides for a great opportunity, not only for Louisiana Crane but for our many and loyal customers. This will allow us the opportunity to expand our product line and provide services to a greater region of the country.”
