Barnhart Crane & Rigging has acquired longtime Spokane company Hite Crane and Rigging.
Terms of the deal were not announced.
The deal gives Barnhart, based in Memphis, its first operations in the area. Until now its nearest offices were in the Tri-Cities.
Hite has provided rigging and heavy transportation services in the region going back to 1969.
All of Hite’s employees are being retained as Barnhart takes over the company’s Spokane Valley location, said Chris Teague, director of marketing for Barnhart.
The deal will expand the range of services from what Hite previously provided, said Alan Barnhart, CEO of Barnhart.
