Street Crane said the appointment gives it a ‘significant presence in the growing Middle East market’. Sales director, Gus Zona, said: “The Middle East, and the Gulf states in particular, are major users of Street Crane hoist equipment, but to date we have had only limited and fragmented representation in Saudi Arabia.

“We are pleased to have such a high profile partner who is deeply involved in manufacturing infrastructure and industrial development of the Kingdom. They are now able to offer our full range of cranes and hoists.”
