MYCRANE announces US launch, led by Scott Wilkes
As part of the expansion, a new MYCRANE office – located in Houston, Texas – will open on 1 December 2022
Dubai-based MYCRANE has used Bauma 2022 to announce its forthcoming launch in the United States, and has appointed Scott Wilkes to lead the new operation.
Wilkes studied Mechanical Engineering at Louisiana State University before working at Mammoet as a Project Engineer. Whilst at Mammoet, he was also involved in market and business intelligence.
As part of the expansion, a new MYCRANE office – located in Houston, Texas – will open on 1 December 2022, while Wilkes’ role as Director of Business Development begins on 1 November 2022.
In August 2022, MYCRANE added new crane types to service the short-term rental market and, in September 2022, it said that it was servicing global lifting projects through its platform.
In addition to its online crane rental service, MYCRANE offers digital tools such as a free crane selector and an online marketplace, where new and used lifting equipment can be bought and sold.
Further complementing its Dubai headquarters, MYCRANE has a network of offices and franchise locations spanning Europe, Asia and the Middle East, the firm noted.
Earlier this year MYCRANE announced three more franchise agreements for Qatar, UK and Ireland. It also recently announced a partnership with PV-E Cranes of the Netherlands, allowing the company to offer zero-emissions cranes for sale and rent on its digital platform.
