Australian manufacturer Franna, known worldwide for its pick and carry cranes, has appointed Mobile Cranes Canada Ltd (MCC) as its official distributor in Canada.
This strategic partnership expands Franna’s presence in North America, allowing the company to deliver its lifting solutions across the Canadian provinces of Alberta, British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island.
Based in Nisku, Alberta, MCC is led by a team embedded in the mining, oil and gas, and infrastructure industries. Their vast expertise in engineering, operations, maintenance, and project management comes with hands-on experience using Franna cranes in Australia.
Jeremy Ferrett of MCC expressed enthusiasm about the partnership, highlighting Franna’s strong reputation in Australia. “We are thrilled to become an official distributor for Franna cranes in Canada. This collaboration provides our Canadian clients with access to advanced lifting solutions, enhancing their operational capabilities,” he said.
The distribution launch in Canada included the unveiling of the AT24 US, a Franna model tailored for the North American market. This crane, showcased at the Alberta Heavy Equipment Show at the Edmonton EXPO Centre on April 24-25, 2025, features state-of-the-art safety technologies. These include integrated overload protection, Franna’s Dynamic Load Moment Indicator, an external emergency stop function, and an ergonomically designed cabin that enhances operator comfort and visibility. The AT24 US epitomises Franna’s commitment to safety and performance, offering operators the assurance needed to perform efficiently.
Andreas Ernst, General Manager of Material Handling & Lifting Americas at Terex, praised MCC’s depth of application and product knowledge, saying, “The team at MCC brings extensive understanding of Franna’s product line, offering our customers unique benefits. I eagerly anticipate working alongside MCC as we introduce Franna cranes to the Canadian market.”
