Attitude of Gratitude at the MDA Summer Camp

Muscular DystrophyImperial Crane supports the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) and this year’s events are bigger than ever!!! More details coming soon. Last year, Imperial’s owner, B.J. Bohne, and staff experienced firsthand the results of their support to the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) while attending a VIP Day carnival at the MDA Summer Camp last week.  Last year at Lemont, IL CITGO refinery’s “Driving for the Cure” golf tournament Imperial donated $8,000 to sponsor a cabin for this year’s camp.  The cost covered 10 children and their one-on-one counselor for the week.

The Bohne Foundation

For years, I have wanted to do this – to create an avenue through which I can continue our father’s legacy of generosity and good will. My new book is now released, Imperial Crane, and all the profits go directly into the foundation. Please join us as we touch the world – B.J. Bohne

Imperial Crane, Our Journey

Imperial Crane Book “Imperial Crane is an American success story that began with a simple, uneducated man – a son of German bean farmers – who in 1969 had the courage to buy a single 25-ton crane. With unmatched tenacity, the straight-shooting John Bohne worked his knuckles bare to become one of the most powerful businessmen in Chicago, while also building what is now one of the largest crane companies in the world.” To order your copy click here

What Others Are Saying

David Seper - Safety Director, Wigdahl

I only work with Imperial Crane on my jobs. I trust Jeanette Ryglewski, Sales Manager, for finding the correct crane and layout. I know the operators, I know their crew. When it comes to Imperial, I am confident there will be no worries. In five years I have had no issues. I need a job done, I call Imperial. It’s like pressing the easy button

Mike Leamanczyk - Chief Underwriting Officer, National Builders Insurance Co.

The Imperial Crane Service’s commitment to risk management excellence is truly an amazing accomplishment. We have underwritten literally thousands of crane accounts since 1996 and rarely do we see this type of favorable loss experience, particularly with the scope of Imperial projects that include refineries as well as tough City of Chicago projects.

I would like to thank Imperial Crane for their flawless execution of the crane work. ~ Trane construction manager
