Australian pick and carry crane manufacturer Franna recently announced that Mobile Cranes Canada Ltd (MCC) has become an official distributor of the company’s cranes across Canada. Based in Nisku, Alta., MCC will represent Franna in Alberta, British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island as the brand expands its global footprint and brings its lifting solutions to the Canadian market.
Mobile Cranes Canada is led by a team with deep roots in the mining, oil and gas, and infrastructure sectors, with a team that has direct experience working with Franna pick and carry cranes in Australia, giving them unique insights into the product’s full potential in real-world applications.
“We are excited to become an official distributor for Franna cranes in Canada. With Franna’s phenomenal reputation already established in their home market of Australia, this collaboration allows us to bring innovative lifting solutions to our customers across Canada, enhancing their operational capabilities,” stated MCC director Jeremy Ferrett.
As part of the launch, MCC has acquired the AT24 US, a Franna model specifically engineered for the North American market. The machine includes integrated overload protection, Franna’s proprietary Dynamic Load Moment Indicator (LMI), an external emergency stop function, and an ergonomically designed cabin that the manufacturer says prioritizes operator comfort and visibility. The AT24 US made its Canadian debut at Alberta Heavy Equipment Show, which took place in Edmonton in April.
“The team at MCC brings a wealth of application and product knowledge to our customers, understanding the unique benefits and features of the Franna product line,” stated Andreas Ernst, Americas general manager for material handling and lifting at Terex. “I am looking forward to working with the team in Canada as we introduce the Franna pick and carry cranes to the market.”
