HEREFORD, TX — Tadano Ltd. announces the sale of its Rabern Rentals business to Sunbelt Rentals. Tadano Ltd. acquired Rabern Rentals as part of its acquisition of Manitex International, Inc. in January 2025. The sale includes Rabern Rentals’ four business locations in northern Texas — Hereford, Lubbock, and two in Amarillo.
All other companies from the January Manitex acquisition — Manitex Inc., PM Oil & Steel S.P.A., and Manitex Valla S.r.l. and their subsidiaries — remain a part of Tadano Ltd.
The sale of Rabern Rentals reflects Tadano’s focus as a manufacturer that engineers lifting and access solutions. Tadano remains committed to advancing innovation, product development, and customer support in the lifting and access equipment industry.
“Tadano’s core expertise is designing, manufacturing, and supporting the most dependable lifting and access equipment, and the Rabern Rentals sale reflects our commitment to staying true to that focus," said Dean Barley, President and CEO of Tadano America Corporation, Tadano Mantis, and Tadano Manitex. "Rental operations require a different business model and priorities. Under Sunbelt Rentals' ownership, Rabern Rentals will have the flexibility and focus necessary to continue growing its rental business and better serve customers.”
Divesting the Rabern Rentals business enables Tadano to stay focused on its portfolio, enhance efficiency, and position itself to better achieve its growth objectives in lifting and access equipment.
