Commerce Ends Section 232 Investigation on Mobile Cranes

The Commerce Department ended a Section 232 investigation launched in May on mobile cranes, it said in a Dec. 4 news release. The Manitowoc Company, which had originally requested the investigation, withdrew its application in September, “citing a changing economic environment due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic,” the news release said. “After consideration of Manitowoc’s request for withdrawal, the Secretary determined that it was appropriate to terminate the investigation,” Commerce said.
