Iron Fist Partners with Marine Cranes Ltd to Expand Crane Distribution

Newly formed Marine Cranes Ltd is excited to announce its exclusive dealership agreement with IRON FIST cranes of Italy. This partnership will enable Marine Cranes Ltd to distribute IRON FIST’s portfolio across the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland.

Marine Cranes Ltd supplies cranes plus crane servicing and overhauls to the commercial marine sectors as well as customisable cranes for superyachts and installations for special applications.

Sarah Hickman, Operations Director says ‘This comes at a great time for us as we expand our offering to the industry. We were looking for a crane manufacturer who really understands marine requirements and the industry and we have found that in our partnership with IRON FIST. They are one of few manufacturers who design and manufacture specifically for the harsh marine environment and on a recent tour of their production facility we were enormously impressed with their process and attention to detail in the product. IRON FIST has proven they are able to support us and in turn, our customer base, through well-resourced aftercare, warranty and approved spares.

Giovanni Carpinone of IRON FIST comments, ‘We’re excited to announce our partnership and this collaboration exemplifies our shared focus on excellence and customer satisfaction. Their commitment to service support and aftersales care is important to us, as is their decades of experience within the marine industry. We look forward to a long partnership’
