Time Manufacturing/Versalift announced that it has acquired Aspen Aerials in a deal that will create significant value by expanding its set of high-quality product offerings, and at the same time, leveraging its own growing global market access. Now known as ‘Aspen Aerials, a Time Manufacturing Company,’ the Duluth, MN-based manufacturer will continue to lead the bridge inspection equipment and repair industry, in North America and beyond.

Aspen Aerials has manufactured high reaching, stable, and durable specialty equipment used to inspect the safety and integrity of bridges for more than 30 years. The manufacturer’s industry-leading products allow technicians to examine bridges from above, alongside or below.  The Aspen Aerials product line includes units with up to four independently operating booms, which can be managed from multiple control panels. Versalift and Aspen have a history of innovation in common. Aspen Aerials has been a major innovator by developing new stability management technology, which enables truck-mounted bridge inspection equipment to operate without the need for outriggers.

“We are delighted to welcome Aspen Aerials, a market leading manufacturer in the bridge inspection space, to the Versalift family” said Time Manufacturing/Versalift CEO Curt Howell. “With this acquisition, we extend our reach into an important and growing industry, and continue to expand our offering of high-quality, safe and reliable equipment.”
