Arterberry has more than 15 years of experience in the heavy equipment, utility, and crane industry, including the last seven years with Kirby-Smith Machinery as a branch rental manager, territory sales manager and corporate crane rental manager. His background includes extensive experience and training with Grove, National, Manitowoc and Effer cranes.

“John is well-qualified to handle his responsibilities on the crane division sales team in our Fort Worth branch,” said Ben Graham, vice president and crane division manager of Kirby-Smith. “He has a solid track record with our company, and his values are in-line with our overall culture. I’m confident in his ability to present the current and prospective customers in his territory with our Manitowoc, Grove, and National Crane products, parts and service.”
