Link-Belt Expands Doggett Crane Distribution Into Southeast Texas

July 2, 2026 - Link-Belt Cranes has expanded Doggett's authorized distribution territory to include southeast Texas, with a primary focus on the greater Houston metropolitan area.

Doggett has represented Link-Belt Cranes in Louisiana since mid-2016. According to Link-Belt, the territory expansion builds on the companies' existing partnership and extends Doggett's sales, service and support capabilities to customers throughout southeast Texas.

"The Houston metroplex remains one of the nation's most important markets for construction, petrochemical, infrastructure, port, and energy-related projects," said Gary Lane, Link-Belt Cranes vice president of marketing, sales and customer support. "With an established regional presence and extensive equipment support capabilities, Doggett is well-positioned to provide local sales, service, parts and technical support to crane owners and contractors across the region."

As part of the expanded territory, Doggett will represent Link-Belt's full line of rough terrain, hydraulic truck, all terrain, lattice crawler and telescopic crawler cranes. The company will also provide aftermarket support, including parts availability, maintenance, inspections and field service.

"Doggett is thrilled to expand its partnership with Link-Belt Cranes into southeast Texas," said Doggett Executive Vice President Mike Ortiz. "Since becoming a Link-Belt distributor in 2016, we have seen the strength of the product and the value it brings to customers. We look forward to bringing that same experience and support to customers throughout the Houston area and all southeast Texas."

According to Link-Belt, the expansion is intended to strengthen customer access to crane sales, service and technical support in one of the country's largest construction and industrial markets.
