MLS, Inc. announced that it has acquired Lifting & Transportation International magazine, the top resource for North American Crane Professionals.

"By purchasing Lifting & Transportation International magazine we have expanded our dominance in Heavy Equipment and Heavy Trucks to the Crane industry" said Pierce.

The re-launch will include a complete facelift with an integrated online presence that will include new features and an online marketplace."

The online presence for Lifting & Transportation International will enhance MLS, Inc's. already dominant position as the largest online market place for Trucks, Trailers and Heavy Equipment in the Northern Hemisphere.
