strength in scissors products and Grove's strength in boom products, this

point of contact, representing both companies."

Wolf Haessler, Chairman of Skyjack Inc. commented further, "I will be directly
involved in the management of the alliance as I want to get closer to our
customers. Joe Danules, President of Grove Worldwide's Manlift division, will
also have a top management position in leading the sales and marketing efforts
focused on the large rental customers. This is a tremendous opportunity for both
companies. Working together with this agreement will result in significant
market share increases for both Skyjack and Grove."
