Circle 8, a crane rental and lifting solutions provider, hired Arnold Mabee as its new CEO. With more than 30 years of operational and senior management experience, Mabee previously served as president of Sterling Crane, doubling the company’s revenue during his tenure.

In his new role, Mabee will work to expand Circle 8’s fleet and personnel. The company currently has multiple locations throughout the south-central region of the United States and offers a range of lifting solutions and services for oilfield, construction, commercial and infrastructure markets.

“Circle 8 is a great company with enormous potential and I am excited to join the team and drive the business forward to its full potential,” Mabee said.

Phillip Bryson, president of Circle 8, expressed his excitement about the appointment, stating that Mabee’s wealth of experience and network will help drive the business forward. Chris Wu, executive vice president of Ault Alliance and a member of the Circle 8 board of directors, sees Mabee’s appointment as a testament to Circle 8’s strength and the opportunity it has to build a world-class lifting services business.
