Toward the 2014 fall election season peak, Cleveland-based ALL Erection & Crane Rental Corp. hosted a rally for Ohio Governor John Kasich (left, at the rear of stage), who is seeking a second term. Joining the call for reelection was New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, who took center stage with characteristic crowd command. Also on hand was Senator Rob Portman (R-OH; third from left at rear of stage).
ALL Crane President Michael Liptak assured guests, “The American dream is alive and thriving here in Ohio. Our employees believe in the strength of our region, and work every day to bolster Ohio’s economic future.” The company is celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2014, he added, growing from a single crane to a 3,500 lifting unit fleet. With 37 branches and 1,500 employees, it is North America’s largest privately held crane rental and sales operator.
