Crane Equipment Guide

ALL Crane Rental of Alabama, a division of ALL Crane Rental of Georgia, recently added Barry C. Skidmore to the staff to head up crane operations at the Mobile branch.

Skidmore, who has been in the equipment business for 21 years, grew up in the industry and has been running equipment since he was 10 years old at his uncle’s contracting business, north of Mobile, AL.

Skidmore stated he won safety awards as a crane operator on major projects during his previous employment with another crane rental company based in southern Mississippi.

Although he is versed in all types of lifting equipment, his career expertise has primarily been in the operation of truck and hydraulic cranes.

“I look forward to a long career and good relationship with ALL,” Skidmore said. “It’s like a family atmosphere here and I really enjoy being a part of a company that has a total team work approach to doing business.”
