Pinnacle is the largest full-service dealer of small and mid-sized cranes in North Carolina and South Carolina, offering new and used crane sales, bare rentals, service and parts. Pinnacle is the exclusive dealer of new Link-Belt cranes in the Carolinas and a Top Five Link-Belt dealer nationally, and also offers equipment from other leading OEMs, including Manitex, Magni and Shuttlelift. The company serves a diverse base of customers across a range of end markets, including infrastructure and utility, steel and precast erection, and commercial and industrial construction – all of which are experiencing heightened demand due to rapid population growth and capital investment in the Carolinas.
