Houston, Texas based Scott-Macon has sold and rented cranes since 1973 and runs a fleet of Terex, Borderson, and Tadano Mantis cranes.

We are particularly pleased with the innovative GTC-1200 which will represent the first purchase by Scott-Macon of a telescopic boom crawler in the 120 tonne class.”
