This strategic acquisition strengthens Wilkerson's position as a premier crane service provider and expands its capabilities to better serve clients across the central United States.

As we continue to pursue our aggressive growth goals, this strategic positioning allows us to better serve the wind sector and deliver comprehensive lifting solutions for major energy infrastructure developments throughout the region."

"Jensen Crane Services has demonstrated the same commitment to quality and customer service that defines the Wilkerson brand," said Larry Smith, COO of Wilkerson. "We're thrilled to acquire these assets from Rasmussen Group and welcome the Jensen team into the Wilkerson family. Their team has built an outstanding reputation in the region, and I'm confident they will fit seamlessly within our culture."
