                             (Unaudited)


Note 1.

          In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited
          condensed financial statements contain all adjustments,
          representing normal recurring accruals, necessary to present
          fairly the results of operations for the thirteen and
          thirty-nine weeks ending April 2, 1994 and March 27, 1993,
          the financial position at April 2, 1994 and the changes in
          the cash flows for the thirty-nine weeks ended April 2, 1994
          and March 27, 1993.  The interim results are not necessarily
          indicative of results for a full year and do not contain
          information included in the Company's annual consolidated

          fiscal 1994 and 1993 was $122,538 and $100,110, 
          respectively.  Cash paid for income taxes in the first
          thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 1994 and 1993 was $5,078,281 and
          $5,280,725, respectively.

Note 3.

          The components of inventory at April 2, 1994 and July 3,
          1993 are summarized as follows (in thousands):

                                    April 2, 1994   July 3, 1993
                                   --------------   ------------

          Components:
            Raw materials            $ 11,291        $ 12,512
            Work-in-process            25,237          19,262
            Finished goods             27,791          24,887
                                     --------        --------

               Total inventories       64,319          56,661
          Excess of current costs
            over LIFO value           (22,894)        (22,461)
                                     --------        --------
            Total inventories        $ 41,425        $ 34,200

          Inventory is carried at lower of cost or market using the
          first-in, first-out (FIFO) method for 46% and 47% of total
          inventory for April 2, 1994 and July 3, 1993, respectively.
          The remainder of the inventory is costed using the last-in,
          first-out (LIFO) method.

          At April 2, 1994 and July 3, 1993, the FIFO cost of finished
          goods held for lease was $311 and $937, respectively.  The
          cost of this inventory is amortized to cost of sales as a
          percentage of lease revenues.


Note 4.

          On September 8, 1992, the Board of Directors authorized the
          Company to repurchase up to 1.5 million shares of its common
          stock.  In addition, on January 11, 1994 and February 2,
          1994, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of an
          additional 500,000 and 1,000,000 shares, respectively.  Such
          repurchases will be in open market or privately negotiated
          purchases, as the Company may determine from time to time.
          As of April 2, 1994, a total of 1,861,900 shares were
          purchased pursuant to these authorizations.



Note 5.

          The United States Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA")
          has identified the Company as a potentially responsible
          party ("PRP") under the Comprehensive Environmental Response
          Compensation and Liability Act ("CERCLA"), liable for the
          costs associated with investigating and cleaning up
          contamination at the Lemberger Landfill Superfund Site ("the
          Site")  near Manitowoc, Wisconsin.

          Eleven of the potentially responsible parties have formed a
          group (the Lemberger Site Remediation Group, or "LSRG") and
          have successfully negotiated with the EPA and Wisconsin
          Department of Natural Resources to settle the potential
          liability at the Site and fund the cleanup.  Approximately
          150 PRP's have been identifed as having shipped hazardous
          substances to the Site.

          Recent estimates indicate that the total cost to clean up
          the Site could be as high as $25 million, however, the
          ultimate remediation methods and appropriate allocation of
          costs for the Site are not yet final.

          Although liability is joint and several, the Company's
          percentage share of liability is estimated to be 5% of the
          total cleanup costs, but could increase to 15% if no
          participation agreements are made between the LSRG and any
          other PRP's.

          In connection with this matter, the Company expensed $1.4
          million in prior years, for its estimated portion of the
          cleanup costs.  In addition, the Company has notified its
          insurance carrier requesting reimbursement of incurred and
          future costs at the Site.  While the settlement of this
          claim is uncertain, previous court rulings in Wisconsin have
          required insurers to pay similar costs.  Any recoveries from
          the insurance carrier will be recognized when received.

          The Company is involved in various other legal actions
          arising in the normal course of business.  After taking into
          consideration legal counsel's evaluation of such actions, in
          the opinion of management, ultimate resolution is not
          expected to have a material adverse effect on the
          consolidated financial statements.

          As of April 2, 1994, 37 product related lawsuits were
          pending.  Of these, fourteen occurred between 1985 and 1990
          when the Company was completely self-insured.  The remaining
          lawsuits occurred subsequent to June 1, 1990, at which time
          the Company has insurance coverages ranging from a $5.5
          million self-insured retention with a $10.0 million limit on
          the insurer's contribution in 1990, to the current $1.0
          million self-insured retention and $16.0 million limit.

          Product liability reserves at April 2, 1994 are $5.8
          million; $4.1 million reserved specifically for the 37 cases
          referenced above, and $1.7 million for incurred but not
          reported claims.  These reserves were estimated using
          actuarial methods.  The highest current reserve for a non-
          insured claim is $.4 million, and $.9 million for an
          insured claim.  Based on the Company's experience in
          defending itself against product liability claims,
          management believes the current reserves are adequate for
          estimated settlements on aggregate self-insured claims.


Note 6.

          During the quarter, the Company acquired, for approximately
          $10.7 million in cash, the assets of Femco Machine Company.
          Femco Machine Company is a manufacturer of parts for cranes,
          draglines, and other heavy equipment.  The acquisition will
          be accounted for under the purchase method of accounting.
          The preliminary estimate of the excess of the cost over the
          fair value of net assets acquired is $1.4 million, which
          will be amortized over twenty-five years.

Note 7.

          Certain reclassifications have been made to the financial
          statements of prior years to conform to the presentation for
          fiscal 1994.


Item 2.   Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
          Results of Operations


Financial Condition at April 2, 1994
- - --------------------------------------

The Company's financial condition remains strong and has not changed
materially during the past quarter.  Cash and marketable securities of
$29 million are adequate to meet the Company's liquidity requirements,
including the stock repurchases authorized by the Board of Directors.

</TABLE>

For the thirteen weeks ended April 2, 1994, consolidated sales
decreased 3.6% over the same period a year ago.  Net earnings
increased for the quarter to $1.6 million, or 19 cents per share,
compared to a loss of $4.8 million, or 49 cents per share.  Last
year's third quarter loss was a result of a $5.7 million inventory
write-down, a $4.3 million charge for a product liability settlement,
and $3.3 million to relocate the Manitex boom truck crane and pedestal
crane operation.

For the thirty-nine week period ended April 2, 1994, consolidated
sales increased 6.4% over the same period one year ago.  Net earnings
for this period were $8.8 million, or 99 cents per share compared to a
loss of $12.1 million, or $1.22 per share.  In addition to the
previously mentioned charges, last year's loss includes an after tax
charge of $10.2 million, or $1.03 per share from the implementation of
SFAS 106 and 109.

Sales for Cranes and Related Products decreased 17.6% for the third
quarter compared to a year ago.  The downturn in sales was attributed
to declines in the price of oil which has caused customers to delay
orders for large cranes.  Sales decreased despite the acquisition of
Femco Machine Company during the third quarter.

The Crane segment reported a $1.3 million loss compared to a $7.1
million loss for the quarter last year.  Profits from large crane
sales, re-manufacturing and the recent Femco acquisition were not
enough to offset losses at Manitex and company owned dealers and
higher than expected product development work for crawler cranes of
less than 10-ton capacity.

The Foodservice segment continued to out perform last year's sales and
earnings figures.  Third quarter sales and earnings increased 16.0%
and 25.2%, respectively, compared to the same period a year ago.  This
segment has benefited from brisk sales of its new, self-cleaning "B"
model ice machine.

The Marine segment also showed improved third quarter results compared
to last year.  Sales for the thirteen week period increased 79.2% over
the same period last year.  Earnings for the year were $1.5 million
compared to a $1.6 million loss last year.  The improvement was the
result of two five-year surveys conducted during the third quarter and
an increase in winter repair work compared to previous years.
