          Inventory is carried at lower of cost or market using the
          first-in, first-out (FIFO) method for 55% and 50% of total
          inventory for March 31, 1995 and December 31, 1994,
          respectively.  The remainder of the inventory is costed
          using the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method.

          At March 31, 1995 and December 31, 1994, the FIFO cost of
          finished goods held for lease was $506 and $940,
          respectively.  The cost of this inventory is amortized to
          cost of sales as a percentage of lease revenues.


Note 3.

          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 1,
          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 March 31, 1995, a total of 2,646,372 shares were
          purchased pursuant to these authorizations.

Note 4.          

          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 identified as having shipped 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 $3.0 million in prior years for its estimated
          portion of the cleanup costs.

          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 March 31, 1995, 44 product related lawsuits were
          pending.  Of these, eight 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 March 31, 1995 are $7.7
          million; $4.3 million reserved specifically for the 44 cases
          referenced above, and $3.4 million for incurred but not
          reported claims.  These reserves were estimated using
          actuarial methods.  The highest current reserve for a non-
          insured claim is $.7 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 5.

          During the quarter ended December 31, 1994, the Company's
          decision to accelerate the consolidation of large-crane
          manufacturing to a single site resulted in a $14 million
          charge to earnings in the cranes and related products
          segment in such quarter.  The charge includes a $9.4 million
          write-down of the facility being abandoned and estimated
          holding costs of $4.6 million while the plant is being
          marketed.

          The assets currently held for sale include land and
          improvements, buildings, and certain machinery and equipment
          at the ``Peninsula facility'' located in Manitowoc,
          Wisconsin.  The current carrying value of these assets,
          determined through independent appraisals, is approximately
          $3 million and is included in intangibles and other.  The
          future holding costs, included in accounts payable and
          accrued expenses and in other non-current liabilities,
          consist primarily of utilities, security, maintenance,
          property taxes, insurance, and demolition costs for various
          buildings.  Future holding costs also include estimates for
          various environmental studies on the Peninsula location.
          During the quarter, there were no material amounts paid and
          charged against these reserves.

          Additional costs will be expensed as incurred and include
          items such as moving and relocation, engineering, and
          severance.  The bulk of these additional costs, expected to
          range between $2.5 - $3.5 million, will be incurred in the
          second and third quarters of calendar 1995.

Note 6.
   
          In December, 1994, the Company adopted Statement of
          Financial Accounting Standard No. 115 ``Accounting for
          Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities''.  The
          effect of adopting this new standard was not material.
          Marketable securities include $8.0 million of investments in
          treasury bills which will be held to maturity and $4.0
          million of equity securities, which are available for sale.
          For both types of investments, the difference between fair
          market value and cost was not material.  The treasury bills
          mature at various dates beginning in September, 1995,
          through December, 1995.

</TABLE>

For the quarter ended March 31, 1995, consolidated sales increased 14%
over the comparable period a year ago.  Net earnings for the quarter
were $1.8 million, or 23 cents per share compared to $1.6 million, or
19 cents per share in the first quarter of 1994.  Each of the
Company's three business segments contributed to the increase in
sales; however, it was the Marine segment's higher operating earnings
which helped push the quarter earnings ahead of last year.

Sales for Cranes and Related Products increased 7% for the first
quarter compared to the quarter ended April 2, 1994. All of the
businesses in this segment, except MEC, the large crane manufacturing
company, contributed to the increase.  However, most of the increase
in these other businesses was offset by the drop in sales at MEC.
This was due to the soft world market in 1994 for large cranes.  As a
result, the operating loss for the quarter in cranes and related
products was $1.6 million compared to a loss of $1.3 million last
year.

The future of our large crane manufacturing company, and therefore the
crane segment, is buoyed by a $73 million backlog, well above the $19
million backlog reported at December 31, 1994.

The backlog has ballooned primarily because of the positive customer
acceptance of the Company's  just-introduced model 888 crane.  A
contract from a single customer for thirty of the new units was
received in February, 1995.  The order is valued at $25-30 million.

Sales for the Foodservice segment increased 19% in the first quarter
but operating earnings were held to the same level as in the first
quarter of 1994.  Contributing to the lower earnings were higher raw
material and purchased component prices, a shift in product mix to
smaller units, and costs associated with plant consolidation and
production line moves made to increase manufacturing efficiency.

The Marine segment sales and operating earnings rose 45% and 288%,
respectively, over the comparable period last year.  The higher Marine
operating earnings were due to an improved work mix, including an
increase in higher margined docking work, and lower overhead costs.

During the most recent quarter, the Company had net borrowings of
$22.3 million.  This brings to $26.3 million the total of short-term
borrowings in the last six months.  The poor performance of the Crane
segment during the last two quarters and the seasonal drain in this
quarter in all three business segments made the borrowing necessary.

The Company opted to draw on its credit line rather than sell
marketable securities (primarily U.S. government bonds) at what would
have been a loss in the current market.


Financial Condition at March 31, 1995
- -----------------------------------------

The Company's financial condition remains strong.  Cash and marketable
securities of $18.6 million are adequate to meet the Company's
liquidity requirements for the foreseeable future, including payments
on the line of credit, costs associated with the plant consolidation,
and the stock repurchases authorized by the Board of Directors.
