LOUISVILLE, Ky. — ALL Crane Rental of Florida’s Kenneth Bowyer took home the top prize at the national crane rodeo competition, also known as the Crane Operator & Rigger Skills Championship, for the second year in a row. No one before him had won the competition two years in a row.
The event was held during the 2015 International Construction and Utility Equipment Expo in Louisville. The rodeo is a crane operation challenge drawing on contestants’ skills in training, certification and experience in safe crane operations.
Contestants competed on an Altec AC45-127S, a 45-ton capacity, truck-mounted crane with a 127-foot, five-section telescopic boom. The competition included a rigging challenge as well as maneuvering the crane — with 100 feet of boom — through a tough obstacle course.
