Broderson History: Engineer-Founded, Engineer-Led.

Dean Broderson, born in 1925 in the flat farming country of Osage County Kansas, patriotically served his country with honors as a tail gunner during World War II. After returning to his native Kansas, Dean earned an engineering degree at the University of Kansas. Early on, he demonstrated a keen interest in lift equipment working with Ray Pitman (Pitman Manufacturing, RO Corp., Pioneer Engineering) and Art Moore (Snorkel) in the Kansas City area. Broderson was founded in 1973 based on Dean’s confidence in his engineering experiences. From the start, Dean’s focus was on quality, simplicity and reliability. Broderson’s market share quickly increased, driven by a reputation for rugged design and dependability. To this day, over 50 years later, Broderson employees remain passionately dedicated to providing the industry with the best cranes and service.

Broderson remains the crane of choice for plant, facility and project site requirements ranging from 2-25 ton carry deck crane, and up to 15-ton rough terrain cranes, in a wide range of applications from oil refineries, petrochemical plants, domestic and offshore mining, pulp/paper mills, mechanical contractors, auto manufacturing, power plants, and more.
