Steve Freckmann Retiring as GM of ALL Crane’s Dawes Rigging & Crane Rental
Crane biz lifer logged 34 years at helm, 45 years total with company
The new year will bring big changes to Dawes Rigging & Crane Rental, a member of the ALL Family of Companies, as it will be the first time in more than three decades that Steve Freckmann isn’t its general manager. Freckmann is retiring at the end of 2023 after 34 years as GM and 45 total years with Dawes.
Freckmann is a crane business lifer, starting out part-time in the shop and yard as a pre-teen. In fact, it was Freckmann’s father, Thomas, who was a part-owner of Dawes before selling to the ALL Family in the late-1970s. Steve Freckmann succeeded his dad as general manager in 1989.
