Adams & Porter

A ship in port doesn't earn money. We know that... and what's more important, you know that. That's why we are constantly adding to our rental equipment pool. Take our new 250 ton crane for example.

It's been especially designed to handle all kinds of cargo loads or discharges... balanced or unbalanced, containerized or bulk cargo, dockside or off-shore.

The operator's cabin has been elevated, so he can look right into the hatch and not guess the location.

And best of all it's a Hoffman mobile heavy-lift truck crane. It goes where you need it.

It's one of the newest additions to the Hoffman equipment rental pool.

And all Hoffman equipment isavail- able for either long or short term lease. Whether it's a small lift or a large one, Hoffman's experience and capability can help you turn your ships around quicker.

So the next time you want to lease a crane, call Hoffman.
