Blue Hat Crane<\/a> of Kansas City, Missouri is now a representative for all Tadano products and has added a ATF 180G-5, GR-1000XL and GR-750XL to its fleet.<\/p>\n

\u201cBlue Hat<\/a> will be a key player in growing Tadano\u2019s market share in Missouri and Kansas,\u201d said Jay Shiffler, executive vice president of sales, marketing and customer service for Tadano America. \u201cWe\u2019re glad to have a committed partner that will serve our customers and products well.\u201d<\/p>\n

Blue Hat Crane<\/a> has also built a new 22-acre facility with a 60,000 square-foot maintenance shop and warehouse.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur new equipment acquisitions have enabled Blue Hat to expand both our bare rental and operated and maintained fleets,\u201d said David Lapin, sales representative for Blue Hat Crane. \u201cThe new crane shop is part of our commitment to supplying the latest equipment, parts and service available in the industry.\u201c<\/p>\n

At an open house event, Tadano America gave Blue Hat<\/a> a traditional warrior\u2019s kabuto helmet (a type of helmet first used by ancient Japanese warriors).<\/p>\n
