          Inventory is carried at lower of cost or market using the first-in,
          first-out (FIFO) method for 41% and 47% of total inventory for
          January 1, 1994 and July 3, 1993, respectively.  The remainder of
          the inventory is costed using the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method.

          At January 1, 1994 and July 3, 1993, the FIFO cost of finished
          goods held for lease was $709 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. As of
          January 1, 1994, a total of 1,474,274 shares were purchased
          pursuant to this authorization.  Subsequent to January 1, the
          remaining 25,726 shares have been repurchased.  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.



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 January 1, 1994, 40 product related lawsuits were pending.
          Of these, sixteen 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 January 1, 1994 are $5.3 million;
          $3.0 million reserved specifically for the 40 cases referenced
          above, and $2.3 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 $.3
          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.

          Certain relcassifications 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 January 1, 1994
- --------------------------------------

The Company's financial condition remains strong and has not changed
materially during the past quarter.  Cash and marketable securities of $55.7
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 January 1, 1994, consolidated sales increased
27.2% over the same period a year ago with all three business segments
recording gains.  Net earnings also compared favorably to last year with the
Company reporting earnings of $3.1 million, or 35 cents per share compared to
a loss of $757,000, or 6 cents per share, restated to a net loss of $924,000,
or 11 cents per share.  This loss resulted from a $4 million, or 26 cents per
share loss on the disposal of obsolete and slow-moving crane parts inventory.
The restatement was the result of adopting SFAS 106 and SFAS 109 in the third
quarter of last year.  The effect of these changes in accounting treatment
were applied retroactively to results for that year, and first and second
quarter F93 results were restated to reflect the required adjustments.

For the twenty-six week period ended January 1, 1994, consolidated sales
increased 11.9% compared to the same period one year ago.  Net earnings for
the six month period were $7.2 million, or 79 cents per share, up from $3.3
million, or 33 cents per share, for the same period last year.  Because of
the previously mentioned change in accounting standards, the 1993 figures
were later restated to a loss of $7.3 million, or 73 cents per share.

Cranes and Related products showed improved sales and earnings for the second
quarter compared to the same period one year ago.  Sales increased 35.2% over
last year and earnings rose to $2.1 million compared with a loss of $2.6
million during the second quarter of fiscal 1993.  Sales of larger crawler
cranes, including the first two M-1200's, a 1,450-ton lifting capacity
machine, and production and shipping improvements accounted for the increase
in earnings.  Unit sales in the large crawler crane unit were up 68% and
operating margins advanced to 8.5% this quarter, compared to 5% a year ago.


For the quarter, both sales and earnings for Foodservice products increased
slightly over the same period last year.  Sales increased 1.3% and earnings
reached $2.8 million, compared to $2.7 million last year.  The increase
continues to show the popularity of the B-model ice machine introduced last
year.

As a result of a strong first quarter, year-to-date sales and earnings in the
Foodservice segment remain well above last year's results.  Sales have
increased 12.6% and earnings increased 15.5% to $8.7 million from a restated
$7.6 million last year.

Second quarter sales in the Marine segment surged to $4.8 million, a 75%
increase over the $2.7 million recorded during the second quarter last year.
Earnings for the quarter stood at $0.9 million compared to a restated loss of
$0.8 million during the same period last year.  The increases were the result
of an unexpected hull repair project and a overall upswing in the cycle of
scheduled survey and maintenance work that must be performed on U.S. vessels
to comply with U.S. Maritime Law.

Year-to-date sales and earnings also remain well ahead of last year for the
Marine segment.  Sales have increased 40.9% and earnings are $1.1 million
compared to a restated $0.9 million loss last year.
