Aspen Opens New Building in Omaha

Aspen Equipment moved from its previously leased
building to a newly built facility in December.

The over 20,000-sq.-ft. state-of-the-art truck equipment
installation and service facility features a dozen 50-60 ft. long and 20 ft.
wide bays. Each bay is served by up to two 7.5 ton overhead hoists to accommodate
the heaviest picks and expedite crane service and installation opportunities. The
property is nearly 5 acres of fenced and paved land and sits in a prime location
in Omaha's west side Commerce Business Centre at: 11475 South 153rd Street.

"Our recent acquisition of the Manitowoc and Grove Crane lines in Nebraska and
Iowa, in addition to our growing National Crane and Auto Crane lines necessitates
this expansion" said Steve Sill, President and owner of Aspen. "We built this new
Omaha facility to give Aspen the opportunity to stock more inventory for speedy
delivery and provide parts & service to our customers in this region." Aspen
added a new 17,000 sq.-ft. facility in the Des Moines region in 2003 and expanded
its Minneapolis headquarters to 60,000 sq.-ft. in 2001. "The new facility depicts
our long term commitment to the Nebraska, Iowa regional marketplace," Sill said.
"This facility is designed for the future with expansion opportunities like a zip-off
back wall that will allow for 6,600 additional square feet as our penetration into
this market grows."

"Aspen has worked hard to develop and maintain its image of top
quality lines, knowledgeable people and best service," Steve Sill said. "
"We chose the tag line The Strength to Deliver because we believe
that our 80+ years in business says a lot about our abilities to stay the course in
these trying times and beyond."
