          position at September 30, 1995 and the changes in the cash
          flows for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and
          September 30, 1994.  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
          financial statements and notes for the year ended July 2,
          1994.

          In August, 1994, the Board of Directors approved a change in
          the company's fiscal year-end to December 31.  The year-to-
          date information for 1994 has not been recast from the
          original presentations, as management does not feel that
          recasting would be cost-justified since comparability would
          not be enhanced.

          Inventory is carried at the lower of cost or market using
          the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method for 55% and 50% of
          total inventory for September 30, 1995 and December 31,
          1994, respectively.  The remainder of the inventory is
          costed using the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method.

          At September 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994, the FIFO cost
          of finished goods held for lease was $499 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 September 30, 1995, a total of 2,646,379 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 $30 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 September 30, 1995, 39 product related lawsuits were
          pending.  Of these, three occurred between 1985 and 1990
          when the Company was completely self-insured.  The remaining
          lawsuits occurred subsequent to June 1, 1990, during which
          time the Company had 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 on
          the insurer's contribution.

          Product liability reserves at September 30, 1995 are $7.0
          million; $3.7 million reserved specifically for the 39 cases
          referenced above, and $3.3 million for incurred but not
          reported claims.  These reserves were estimated using
          actuarial methods.  The highest current reserve for a non-
          insured claim is $.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 included 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 and nine months ended September 30, 1995,
          $.1 million was paid and charged against these reserves.

          Additional costs were expensed as incurred and include items
          such as moving and relocation, engineering, and severance.
          During the quarter ended September 30, 1995, $.8 million was
          expensed in relation to these costs, resulting in total
          costs of $2.8 million for the nine month period.  No
          additional costs are expected to be incurred related to
          these items.


 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 $3.0 million of equity
          securities, which are available for sale.  For these
          investments, the difference between fair market value and
          cost was not material.


Note 7.   The Company signed an agreement on October 25, 1996 to
          acquire 100 percent ownership of The Shannon Group, Inc., a
          privately held manufacturer of commercial refrigerators,
          freezers, and related products with 1995 sales expected to
          be between $125-140 million.

          A definitive agreement was signed following negotiations
          that were resumed after the Company's letter of intent to
          purchase the firm had terminated without agreement on
          October 10.  The transaction is subject to certain
          conditions, but has been approved by the Company's Board of
          Directors.

          The roughly $126-million purchase will be financed through
          pre-arranged, favorable-rate bank debt.  The agreement calls
          for an earnout payment, after closing, of up to $7 million,
          based on Shannon's 1995 earnings.  The closing is expected
          to be completed by early to mid-December of this year.

          Shannon is headquartered in Brentwood, Tennessee, near
          Nashville.  It has nine manufacturing facilities, located in
          Tennessee, Wisconsin, and Iowa, and about 1,200 employees.

          With its respected and recognized Kolpak, Polar-Pak, McCall,
          and Tonka brands, Shannon offers a broad line of commercial
          refrigeration products ranging from small undercounter units
          to 300,000 sq. ft. self-contained refrigerated warehouses.
          Its customers include many of the major quick-service and
          family restaurant chains and grocery chains in the nation.

          statements of prior years to conform to the presentation for
          1995.

</TABLE>

For the quarter ended September 30, 1995, net earnings totaled $3.6
million, equal to 47 cents per share, on sales of $80 million.  This
compares with net earnings of $3.8 million, or 49 cents per share, on
sales of $66 million in the corresponding period of 1994.

For the nine months ended September 30, 1995 net earnings were $10.7
million, and $1.40 per share, compared with $10.7 million and $1.32
per share in 1994.  Net sales for the same period totaled $231 million
in the first nine months of this year, compared with $213 million in
the year before.

Sales for the quarter were up in all three business segments, and the
large-crane unit posted an operating profit for the first time since
last year despite an $800,000 charge for moving costs associated with
its recent facility consolidation and higher costs due to production
disruptions during the move.  A less profitable sales mix also
affected large-crane operating earnings for the quarter.  The other
crane companies that make up the balance of the crane segment continue
to show improved results. These companies include Manitex, West-
Manitowoc, Orley Meyer, the Aftermarket group, and the company-owned
sales outlets. Sales for cranes and related products have increased
27% for the third quarter while year-to-date sales are up 6%.

At $90 million, the crane backlog remains near its all-time high, and
shipments are now beginning to be made from that backlog of orders.
Crane segment sales and earnings for the fourth quarter are expected
to be the strongest since the second quarter of calendar 1993 when
sales were $64.3 million and operating earnings were $5.5 million.

The Foodservice segment posted increases in  both sales and operating
earnings, 10% and 7%, respectively, for the third quarter ended
September 30, 1995, as a result of strong sales of ice machines and
growth in reach-in refrigerator/freezers for the commercial market.
Year-to-date earnings are still slightly behind 1994 earnings despite
an 8% increase in sales due to the lower margins caused by increased
raw material costs and a self-imposed price freeze from 1992 through
1995.  Margins are expected to return to 1994 levels by early 1996 as
specific cost reduction programs are implemented.

The Marine segment revenues increased 44% from the year-earlier
quarter due to increased ship-repair services as fleet utilization on
the Great Lakes remains high.  Because of the seasonal nature of
shipping on the Lakes, this business normally loses money in the last
half of each calendar year.  While this pattern held true in the
quarter just ended, the operating loss was less than in the same
period last year.  Year-to-date sales and operating earnings remain
well ahead of last year.



Financial Condition at September 30, 1995
- -------------------------------------------

The Company's financial condition remains strong.  Cash and marketable
securities of $14 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.

During the quarter, the company reduced short-term borrowings from
$19.4 million to $13.7 million.

Capital expenditures, without reduction for dispositions, for the nine
months were $17.4 million and are expected to total between $18-20
million for the year.  This investment is well above normal for the
company and due primarily to the expansion of the ice-machine
manufacturing facility and the capitalized costs in consolidating the
manufacture of large cranes into a single, modern facility.

Fixed asset dispositions included the sale of an industrial park in
Northampton, England, in the third quarter.  This sale increased other
income by $600,000.

Item 6.        Exhibits and Reports on Form 8-K
          --------------------------------------

          (a)  Exhibits: See exhibit index following the signatures on
               this Report, which is incorporated herein by reference.

          (b)  Reports on Form 8-K:   During the quarter ended
               September 30, 1995, a report on Form 8-K dated
               September 1, 1995 was filed stating that the Company
               had entered into a letter of intent to acquire 100%
               ownership of The Shannon Group, Inc., a privately held
               manufacturer of commercial, refrigerators, freezers,
               and related products.

               After the third quarter end, a second report on Form 8-K
               dated October 11, 1995 was filed indicating that as a
               result of an inability of the parties to agree on
               certain terms of a definitive purchase agreement, the
               letter of intent for the purchase by the Company of The
               Shannon Group, Inc. was terminated by its terms.

               In addition, a third report on Form 8-K dated October
               25, 1995 was filed stating that on October 24, 1995 the
               Company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire
               100 percent ownership of The Shannon Group, Inc.
