Two Pennsylvania firms that have supplied the recent construction boom with rental claims are joining forces, in a match made on Wall Street.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Apollo Global Management LLC, the giant New York private-investment group headed by Sixers co-owner Josh Harris, says a group of its funds have agreed to buy two Pennsylvania construction crane leasing companies — AmQuip Crane Rental<\/a>, Trevose, lately controlled by Clearlake Capital Group, L. P., and Pittsburgh-based and Maxim Crane Works<\/a>, owned by affiliates of Tom Gores’ Platinum Equity group — and combine them into a single firm with 1,950 construction cranes for rent acorss the U.S. and Canada.<\/div>\n

The joint company will be run by Pittsburgh-based Maxim boss Bryan Carlisle, while AmQuip CEO Al Bove will stay on to run the Trevose operation for now and “play a senior role in the integration.” Apollo won’t say what it’s paying, but noted it has had to hire\u00a0\u00a0J.P. Morgan Chase Bank N.A., Wells Fargo, Barclays, and Jefferies Finance LLC to borrow enough money to pay for Maxim and AmQuip.<\/p>\n

AmQuip, founded in 1967, claims 6,600 customers for its 550 cranes at 13 branch offices serving 36 states. Maxim, founded in 1966, lists 7,500 customers for 1,400 cranes at its 31 branches. \u00a0\u201cThis combination represents an opportunity for us to build a world class organization with the best people in the crane industry,” Carlisle said in a statement. He promised customers “an enhanced level of service, expertise, equipment and geographic coverage.\u201d The companies “know each other well,” Bove added.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In a statement, Apollo partners Larry Berg and Antoine Munfakh called the Maxim-Amquip deal a “unique opportunity to combine two premier businesses in the North American lifting services market… We look forward to bringing Apollo\u2019s resources to bear in helping Bryan and Al achieve their long-term strategic objectives.\u201d<\/p>\n

Louis Samson of Platinum Equity says he was leaving the new owners “a fundamentally strong business” that had managed previous acqusitions. Similarly, Clearlake’s Jose E. Feliciano called AmQuip well-positioned for the merger.<\/p>\n

Wall Street firms collecting fees for making the deal happen include Barclays (adviser to Apollo), PNC’s Harris Williams & Co. and Oppenheimer & Co. (AmQuip, Clearlake) and Goldman Sachs & Co. (Maxim.)<\/p>\n
