          Inventory is carried at lower of cost or market using the first-
          in, first-out (FIFO) method for 58% and 56% of total inventory
          for June 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996, respectively.  The
          remainder of the inventory is costed using the last-in, first-out
          (LIFO) method.


Note 3.
          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.

          Approximately 150 PRP's have been identified as having shipped
          substances to the Site.  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
          the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources to settle the
          potential liability at the Site and fund the cleanup.

          Recent estimates indicate that the total cost to clean up the
          Site could be as high as $30 million, however, the ultimate
          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 11% of the total cleanup costs. To
          date, the company has expensed $3.3 million in connection with
          this matter.  The Company expensed $.2 million in 1996 and $.2
          million in 1995.  There were no expenses incurred during the
          first six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996.  Remediation work
          at the Site has been completed, with only long-term pumping and
          treating of ground water and Site maintenance remaining.

          The company adopted the AICPA Statement of Position (SOP) No. 96-1,
          "Environmental Remediation Liabilities" in the first quarter  
          of 1997.  This SOP requires the company to accrue for losses
          associated with environmental remediation obligations when such
          losses are probable and reasonably estimable.  Such accruals are
          adjusted as information develops or circumstances change.  Costs
          of future expenditures for environmental remediation obligations
          are not discounted to their present value.  The adoption of this
          SOP did not have a significant effect on the financial
          statements.

          As of June 30, 1997, 28 product-related lawsuits were pending.
          Of these, two 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 on the insurer's contribution.

          Product liability reserves at June 30, 1997 are $6.9 million;
          $2.7 million reserved specifically for the 28 cases referenced
          above, and $4.2 million for incurred but not reported claims.
          These reserves were estimated using actuarial methods.  The
          highest current reserve for a non-insured claim is $0.2 million,
          and $0.4 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.

          It is reasonably possible that the estimates for environmental
          remediation and product liability costs may change in the near
          future based upon new information which may arise.  Presently,
          there is no reliable means to estimate the amount of any such
          potential changes.

          The company is also 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.


Note 4.

          During the fourth quarter of 1996, the company's decision to
          consolidate and close walk-in refrigeration plants located in
          Iowa and Tennessee resulted in a $1.2 million charge to earnings
          in the Foodservice segment.  The charge includes a write-down to
          the estimated net realizable values of the assets being abandoned
          and takes into consideration future holding costs and costs
          related to the sale of the properties.  During the second quarter
          and first six months of 1997, $.1 million was charged against the
          reserve.

          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 other assets.  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.  These reserves also
          include estimates for potential environmental liabilities on the
          Peninsula location.  During the years ended December 31, 1996 and
          1995, $1.1 million and $.6 million was paid and charged against
          these reserves, respectively.  For the second quarter and first
          six months of 1997, $10,000 and $.1 million, respectively, was
          charged against the reserve as compared with $.2 million and $.9
          million for the second quarter and first six months of 1996.


Note 5.

          On May 19, 1997, the company`s board of directors authorized a 3-
          for-2 stock split of the company's common stock in the form of a
          50-percent stock dividend payable on June 30, 1997 to
          shareholders of record on June 2, 1997.  As a result of the stock
          split, a total of 5,755,678 shares of the company's common stock
          were issued.  All references in the financial statements to
          average number of common shares outstanding and related earnings
          per share amounts have been restated to reflect the split.  The
          company last split its stock, also on a 3-for-2 basis, on July 2,
          1996.

</TABLE>

Net sales for the quarter ended June 30, 1997, were $145.0 million, up 4
percent compared with the second quarter of 1996.   Net earnings grew to
$11.9 million, or 69 cents per share, a 36 percent increase from the $8.8
million, and 51 cents per share, earned in the second quarter of 1996.

For the first six months of 1997, net sales grew 3 percent to $261.0
million compared to sales of $253.3 million in the prior-year period.
However, net earnings jumped a dramatic 43 percent to $18.4 million in the
first half of 1997  -  equal to $1.07 per share.  In the same 1996 period,
net earnings were $12.9 million, equal to 75 cents per share.  Per share
earnings are on a post-split basis.

Second quarter sales of foodservice equipment were $65.9 million, down
about 2 percent from a year ago, but operating profit for this segment rose
2 percent to $11.4 million.  These results represent the first year-over-
year operating margins improvement since the Shannon Group acquisition was
made in December 1995.  The company is continuing to work at refining and
strengthening the Kolpak, McCall, and Tonka operations to capitalize on the
synergy and cost-saving opportunities that exist in combining the ice
machine and commercial refrigeration businesses.  Year to date sales and
earnings were $118.4 million and $17.6 million, respectively, compared with
$120.1 million and $18.3 million in 1996.

Cranes and related products sales for the second quarter increased 22
percent over the same period last year.  Operating earnings were $9.5
million and $16.4 million for the second quarter and first six months of
1997, respectively, compared with earnings of $4.9 million and $8.4 million
for the same periods last year.  A generally strong world market, coupled
with a $152 million backlog of unfilled orders plus the favorable market
reception of recently introduced cranes, suggests the outlook for this
business will remain positive for the next several years.

Sales for the company's marine segment were 22 percent below those of the
second quarter last year.  Operating earnings were off 20 percent.  Docking
fees are down from those of last year due to fewer dockings in total and
partially from the Coast Guard's recent decision to lengthen the inspection
interval for Great Lakes vessels from every five years to every six years.

In addition, the marine segment benefited from a large cement barge
construction project in 1996.  The loss of that business has been offset
somewhat in 1997 by a major ship-conversion project now in progress.

Interest expense continues to decline in line with reduced debt and lower
interest rates than in 1996.  As of June 30, 1997, the company's total debt
stood at $84 million and its second quarter tax rate from the first quarter
at 37 percent.



Financial Condition at June 30, 1997
- -------------------------------------

The Company's financial condition remains strong.  Cash and marketable
securities of $9.3 million and future cash flows from operations are
expected to be adequate to meet the Company's liquidity requirements for
the foreseeable future, including payments for long-term debt, costs
associated with the plant consolidation, and capital expenditures.

This report on Form 10-Q includes forward-looking statements based on
management's current expectations.  Reference is made in particular to the
description of the company's plans and objectives for future operations,
assumptions underlying such plans and objectives and other forward-looking
statements in this report.  Such forward-looking statements generally are
identifiable by words such as "believes," "intends," "estimates," "expects" 
and similar expressions.

These statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties and must be
qualified by factors that could cause results to be materially different
from what is presented here.  This includes the following factors for each
business:  Foodservice Equipment - demographic changes affecting the    
number of women in the workforce, general population growth, and household
income; serving large restaurant chains as they expand their global
operations; specialty foodservice market growth; and the demand for
equipment for small kiosk-type locations.  Cranes and Related Products  -
market acceptance of innovative products; cyclicality in the construction
industry; growth in the world market for heavy cranes; demand for used
equipment in developing countries.  Marine - shipping volume fluctuations  
based on performance of the steel industry; five-year drydocking schedule;
reducing seasonality through non-marine repair work.
