What Our Clients are Saying

“We are very happy to have been a partner with Crane Rental since 2008. The management team’s leadership through the recession and subsequent economic expansion is a testament to their expertise in the crane industry. For over 25 years we have enjoyed working with the TM Capital team. Through their capable guidance and attention to detail, we were able to complete another successful divestiture for HKW and find a partner for Crane Rental that best positions them for continued success.”
