 FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND CAUTIONARY FACTORS
        All statements other than statements of historical facts included or incorporated by reference into this prospectus, including statements regarding our future financial position, business strategy, budgets, projected costs, and plans and objectives for future operations are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated as of the date of this prospectus. Forward-looking statements generally can be identified by the use of forward-looking words such as "may," "will," "expect," "intend," "estimate," "anticipate," "believe," or "continue" or words of similar meaning. Some of the factors that could cause such a variance are disclosed in the section "Risk Factors" in the accompanying prospectus supplement and elsewhere in this prospectus and documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus, and include the following for each of our business segments:
         Cranes and Related Products —market acceptance of new and innovative products; cyclicality of the construction industry; the effects of government spending on construction-related projects within the United States and abroad; growth in world demand for our crane product offerings; the replacement cycle of technologically obsolete cranes; and the demand for used equipment.
         Foodservice Equipment —market acceptance of new and innovative products; demographic information affecting two-income families and general population growth; household income; weather; consolidations within the restaurant and foodservice equipment industries; global expansion of customers; the ice-cube machine replacement cycle in the United States; specialty foodservice market growth; future strength of the beverage industry; new product introductions; and the demand for quick-service restaurants and kiosks.
         Marine Services —shipping volume fluctuations based on performance of the steel industry; weather and water levels on the U.S. Great Lakes; trends in government spending on new vessels; five-year survey schedule; the replacement cycle of older marine vessels; growth of existing marine fleets; consolidation of the Great Lakes marine industry; frequency of vessel casualties on the Great Lakes; and the level of construction and industrial maintenance.
         Corporate (including factors that may affect all three segments) —changes in laws and regulations throughout the world; the ability to finance, complete and successfully integrate acquisitions, strategic alliances, and joint ventures; competitive pricing; changes in domestic and international economic and industry conditions; changes in the interest rate environment; risks associated with growth; foreign currency fluctuations; worldwide political risk; pressure of additional financial leverage resulting from our acquisitions; and success in increasing manufacturing efficiencies.
        We urge you to consider these factors and to review carefully the section "Risk Factors" in the accompanying prospectus supplement for a more complete discussion of the risks of an investment in our securities. The forward-looking statements included in this prospectus or incorporated by reference into this prospectus are made only as of the date of this prospectus or the date of the incorporated document, and we undertake no obligation to publicly update these statements to reflect subsequent events or circumstances.

For purposes of computing the ratio of earnings to fixed charges, earnings consist of income before income taxes and extraordinary items, plus fixed charges. Fixed charges consist of interest on indebtedness, amortization of debt expenses and one-third of rent expense which is deemed representative of an interest factor.

 DESCRIPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES
        We may issue debt securities in one or more series under an Indenture (the "Indenture") between us and a qualified trustee to be named in the Indenture, as trustee. The form of the Indenture is filed as an exhibit to the registration statement. The Indenture will be subject to, and governed by, the Trust Indenture Act of 1939.
        The following summary of certain provisions of the Indenture does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by express reference to the Indenture and the Securities Resolution which establishes a series of debt securities ("Securities Resolution") or the supplemental indenture authorizing a series. Copies will be filed with the SEC. Capitalized terms used in this section without definition have the meanings given such terms in the Indenture.
        The particular terms of the debt securities offered by a prospectus supplement will be described in that supplement, along with any applicable modifications of or additions to the general terms of the debt securities as described herein and in the Indenture. Accordingly, for a description of the terms of any series of debt securities, reference must be made to both the description of the debt securities in this prospectus and the prospectus supplement.
General
        The Indenture does not limit the amount of debt securities that can be issued or our ability or that of our subsidiaries to incur, assure or guarantee debt. Also, the Indenture does not restrict our ability or that of our subsidiaries to create or permit liens. It provides that the debt securities may be issued from time to time in one or more series pursuant to the terms of one or more Securities Resolutions or supplemental indentures creating the series.
        As of the date of this prospectus, there were no debt securities outstanding under the Indenture. The ranking of a series of debt securities with respect to all our indebtedness will be established by a Securities Resolution or supplemental indenture creating the series.
Terms
        If we offer debt securities pursuant to this prospectus, the accompanying prospectus supplement will describe the following terms, if applicable, of those debt securities:
•
the designation, denominations, aggregate principal amount, currency or composite currency in which principal or interest may be paid;

•
the price at which those debt securities will be issued and, if an index formula or other method is used, the method for determining amounts of principal or interest;
6

•
the maturity date and other dates, if any, on which principal will be payable;

•
the interest rate or rates, if any, or method of calculating the interest rate or rates;

•
the date or dates from which interest will accrue and on which interest will be payable, and the record dates for the payment of interest;

•
the manner of paying principal and interest;

•
the place or places where principal and interest will be payable;

•
provisions relating to subsidiary guarantees, if any;

•
the terms of any mandatory or optional redemption by us including any sinking fund;

•
whether the debt securities may be converted into or exchanged for common stock or any other securities, and the terms of any conversion or exchange right;

•
the terms of any redemption at the option of holders;

•
any tax indemnity provisions;

•
if the debt securities provide that payments of principal or interest may be made in a currency other than that in which debt securities are denominated, the manner for determining those payments;

•
the portion of principal payable upon acceleration of a discounted debt security (as defined below);

•
whether and upon what terms debt securities may be defeased;

•
whether any events of default or covenants in addition to or in lieu of those set forth in the Indenture apply;

•
provisions for electronic issuance of debt securities or for debt securities in uncertificated form;

•
the ranking of the debt securities; and

•
any other terms not inconsistent with the provisions of the Indenture, including any covenants or other terms that may be required or advisable.
        We may issue debt securities as registered debt securities, bearer debt securities or uncertificated debt securities, and in any denominations specified in the terms of the series.
        In connection with its original issuance, no bearer debt security will be offered, sold or delivered to any location in the United States, and a bearer debt security in definitive form may be delivered in connection with its original issuance only upon presentation of a certificate in a form prescribed by us to comply with United States laws and regulations.
        Registration of transfer of registered debt securities may be requested upon surrender thereof at any office or agency we maintain for that purpose and upon fulfillment of all other requirements of the agent.
Conversion and Exchange
        The terms, if any, on which debt securities of any series will be convertible into or exchangeable for our common stock or other equity or debt securities, property, cash or obligations, or a combination of any of the foregoing, will be summarized in a prospectus supplement relating to that series. The terms may include provisions for conversion or exchange, either on a mandatory basis, at the option of the holder or at our option.
7

Covenants
        Any covenants that may apply to a particular series of debt securities will be described in the prospectus supplement relating to that series.
Ranking of Debt Securities
        Unless we otherwise state in a prospectus supplement, the debt securities will be unsecured and will rank equally and ratably with our other unsecured and unsubordinated debt. The Indenture does not limit the ability of any of our subsidiaries (including any guarantor) to issue, assume or guarantee debt, and the debt securities will be effectively subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities and commitments of our non-guarantor subsidiaries and to any existing and future secured indebtedness of any guarantor subsidiaries.
Successor Obligor
        The Indenture provides that, unless otherwise specified in the securities resolution which establishes a series of debt securities, we shall not consolidate with or merge into, or transfer all or substantially all of our assets to, any person in any transaction in which we are not the survivor, unless:
•
the person is organized under the laws of the United States or a state thereof or is organized under the laws of a foreign jurisdiction and consents to the jurisdiction of the courts of the United States or a state thereof;

•
the person assumes by supplemental indenture all of our obligations under the Indenture, the debt securities and any coupons;

•
all required approvals of any regulatory body having jurisdiction over the transaction shall have been obtained; and

•
immediately after the transaction no default, as defined below, exists.
The successor shall be substituted for us, and thereafter all of our obligations under the Indenture, the debt securities and any coupons shall terminate.
Exchange of Debt Securities
        Registered debt securities may be exchanged for an equal aggregate principal amount of registered debt securities of the same series and date of maturity in such authorized denominations as may be requested upon surrender of the registered debt securities at an office or agency we maintain for that purpose and upon fulfillment of all other requirements of our agent.
Default and Remedies
        Unless the Securities Resolution establishing the series otherwise provides (in which event the prospectus supplement will so state), an "event of default" with respect to a series of debt securities will occur if:
•
we default in any payment of interest on any debt securities of that series when the same becomes due and payable and the default continues for a period of 30 days;

•
we default in the payment of the principal and premium, if any, of any debt securities of the series when the same becomes due and payable at maturity or upon redemption, acceleration or otherwise;

•
we default in the performance of any of our other agreements applicable to the series and the default continues for 45 days after the notice specified below;
8

•
pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law, as defined below, we:

•
commence a voluntary case;

•
consent to the entry of an order for relief against us in an involuntary case;

•
consent to the appointment of a custodian for us or for all or substantially all of our property; or

•
make a general assignment for the benefit of our creditors;

•
a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that:

•
is for relief against us in an involuntary case;

•
appoints a custodian for us or for all or substantially all of our property; or

•
orders our liquidation,
and in each case the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 days; or
•
there occurs any other event of default provided for in such series.
        The term "Bankruptcy Law" means Title 11, U.S. Code or any similar federal or state law for the relief of debtors. The term "Custodian" means any receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator or a similar official under any Bankruptcy Law.
        The term "default" means any event which is, or after notice or passage of time would be, an event of default. A default is not an event of default until the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the series notify us of the default and we do not cure the default within the time specified after receipt of the notice. If an event of default occurs and is continuing on a series, the trustee by notice to us, or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the series, may declare the principal of and accrued interest on all the debt securities of the series to be due and payable immediately. The holders of a majority in principal amount of the series, by notice to the trustee, may rescind an acceleration and its consequences if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree and if all existing events of default on the series have been cured or waived except nonpayment of principal or interest that has become due solely because of the acceleration. If an event of default occurs and is continuing on a series, the trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect principal or interest then due on the series, to enforce the performance of any provision applicable to the series, or otherwise to protect the rights of the trustee and holders of the series.
        The trustee may require indemnity satisfactory to it before it enforces the Indenture or the debt securities of the series. Subject to certain limitations, holders of a majority in principal amount of the debt securities of the series may direct the trustee in its exercise of any trust or power with respect to such series. Except in the case of default in payment on a series, the trustee may withhold from holders of that series notice of any continuing default if it determines that withholding the notice is in the interest of holders of the series. We are required to furnish the trustee annually a brief certificate as to our compliance with all conditions and covenants under the Indenture.
        The Indenture does not have a cross-default provision. Thus, a default by us, or any guarantor subsidiary, on any other debt, including any other series of debt securities, would not constitute an event of default. A Securities Resolution which establishes a series of debt securities may provide for a cross-default provision, in which case the prospectus supplement will describe the terms of that provision.
9

Amendments and Waivers
        The Indenture and the debt securities may be amended, and any default may be waived as follows: Unless a Securities Resolution otherwise provides (in which event the prospectus supplement will state that), we and the trustee may amend the debt securities, the Indenture and any coupons with the written consent of the holders of a majority in principal amount of the debt securities of all series affected voting as one class. Unless the Securities Resolution otherwise provides (in which event the prospectus supplement will state that), a default on a particular series may be waived with the consent of the holders of a majority in principal amount of the debt securities of the series. However, without the consent of each debt security holder affected, no amendment or waiver may:
•
reduce the amount of debt securities whose holders must consent to an amendment or waiver;

•
reduce the rate of or change or have the effect of changing the time for payment of interest, including defaulted interest, on any debt securities;

•
reduce the principal of or change or have the effect of changing the fixed maturity of any debt securities, or change the date on which any debt securities may be subject to redemption or reduce the redemption price therefor;

•
make any debt securities payable in money other than that stated in the debt securities;

•
make any change in provisions of the Indenture protecting the right of each holder to receive payment of principal of and interest on the debt securities on or after the due date thereof or to bring suit to enforce such payment, or permitting holders of a majority in principal amount of debt securities to waive defaults or events of default; or

•
make any change that materially adversely affects the right to convert or exchange any debt security.

        Without the consent of any debt security holder, we and the trustee may amend the Indenture, the debt securities or any coupons to:
•
cure any ambiguity, defect, or inconsistency;

•
provide for uncertificated debt securities in addition to or in place of certificated debt securities;

•
comply with the Indenture's provisions relating to corporate successors, restructurings or rules relating to payment;

•
make any change that would provide any additional rights or interests under the holders of debt securities or that does not materially adversely affect the rights or interests under the Indenture of any such holder;

•
create a series and establish its terms;

•
comply with requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain qualification of the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act;

•
provide for changes in applicable tax laws which do not materially adversely affect the rights of holders;

•
provide that specific provisions of the Indenture shall not apply to a series not previously issued; or

•
provide for a separate trustee for one or more series.
10

Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance
        Debt securities of a series may be defeased in accordance with their terms and, unless the Securities Resolution establishing the terms of the series otherwise provides, as set forth in the Indenture and described briefly below. We, at any time, may terminate as to a series all of our obligations (except certain obligations, including obligations with respect to the defeasance trust and obligations to register the transfer or exchange of a Security, to replace destroyed, lost or stolen debt securities and coupons, and to maintain paying agencies in respect of the debt securities) with respect to the debt securities of the series and any related coupons and the Indenture ("legal defeasance"). We, at any time, may terminate as to a series our obligations, if any, with respect to the debt securities and coupons of the series under any restrictive covenants which may be applicable to a particular series ("covenant defeasance").
        We may exercise our legal defeasance option notwithstanding our prior exercise of our covenant defeasance option. If we exercise our legal defeasance option, a series may not be accelerated because of an event of default. If we exercise our covenant defeasance option, a series may not be accelerated by reference to any restrictive covenants which may be applicable to the particular series.
        To exercise either defeasance option as to a series, we must:
•
irrevocably deposit in trust (the "defeasance trust") with the trustee or another trustee money or U.S. government obligations;

•
deliver a certificate from a nationally recognized firm of independent accountants expressing their opinion that the payments of principal and interest when due on the deposited U.S. government obligations, without reinvestment, plus any deposited money without investment will provide cash at such times and in such amounts as will be sufficient to pay the principal and interest when due on all debt securities of the series to maturity or redemption, as the case may be; and

•
comply with other specified conditions; in particular, we must obtain an opinion of tax counsel that the defeasance will not result in recognition of any gain or loss to holders for federal income tax purposes.
        The term "government obligations" means direct obligations of, or obligations guaranteed by, the United States and for payment of which the United States pledges its full faith and credit.
Guarantees
        A series of debt securities may be guaranteed by some of our subsidiary corporations, if those guarantees are provided for in the Securities Resolution or the supplemental indenture relating to that series of debt securities. If guarantees are issued in connection with any debt securities, the terms of those guarantees and the names of our subsidiaries which are providing the guarantees will be identified in the applicable prospectus supplement.
Regarding the Trustee
        The prospectus supplement relating to any debt securities will identify the trustee and registrar those debt securities. Unless otherwise indicated in a prospectus supplement, the trustee will also act as transfer agent and paying agent with respect to the debt securities. We may remove the trustee with or without cause if we so notify the trustee three months in advance and if we are not in default during the three-month period. The trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services for us or our affiliates, and may otherwise deal with us or our affiliates, as if it were not trustee.

 DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
        Our articles of incorporation provide that we have the authority to issue 75 million shares of $0.01 par value common stock and 3.5 million shares of $0.01 par value preferred stock.
        The following is a summary of the material provisions of our common stock and preferred stock. This summary does not purport to be exhaustive and is qualified in its entirety by reference to applicable Wisconsin law and our articles of incorporation and by-laws, which are incorporated by reference as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. See "Where You Can Find More Information."
Common Stock
        As of March 31, 2002, we had 24,073,787 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. All of our issued and outstanding shares are fully paid and nonassessable, except in each case for statutory liability for unpaid employee wages under Section 180.0622(2)(b) of the Wisconsin Business Corporation Law.
        After all cumulative dividends have been paid or declared and set apart for payment on any shares of preferred stock that are outstanding, our common stock is entitled to such dividends as may be declared from time to time by our board of directors in accordance with applicable law.
        Except as provided under Wisconsin law and except as may be determined by our board of directors with respect to any series of preferred stock, only the holders of our common stock will be entitled to vote for the election of members to our board of directors and on all other matters. Holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote per share of common stock held by them on all matters properly submitted to a vote of shareholders, subject to Section 180.1150 of the Wisconsin Business Corporation Law. Please see "—Control Share Voting Restrictions" below. Shareholders have no cumulative voting rights, which means that the holders of shares entitled to exercise more than 50% of the voting power are able to elect all of the directors to be elected.
        All shares of our common stock are entitled to participate equally in distributions in liquidation, subject to the prior rights of any preferred stock that may be outstanding. Holders of our common stock have no preemptive rights to subscribe for or purchase our shares. There are no conversion rights, sinking fund or redemption provisions applicable to our common stock.
        The transfer agent for our common stock is First Chicago Trust Company, a division of Equiserve.
Preferred Stock
        Under our articles of incorporation, our board of directors has the authority, without further action by our shareholders, to issue up to 3.5 million shares of preferred stock in one or more series and to fix the variations in the powers, preferences, rights, qualifications, limitations or restrictions of the preferred stock, including dividend rights, conversion rights, voting rights, terms of redemption and liquidation preferences, any or all of which may be greater than the rights of our common stock. Our board of directors, without shareholder approval, can issue preferred stock with voting, conversion or other rights that could adversely affect the voting power and other rights of the holders of our common stock. As a result, preferred stock could be issued quickly with terms that will delay or prevent a change of control or make removal of management more difficult. In addition, the issuance of preferred stock may have the effect of decreasing the market price of our common stock and may adversely affect the voting and other rights of our common stock. At present, there are no shares of preferred stock outstanding and we have no current plans to issue any shares of preferred stock.
12

Common Stock Purchase Rights
        We have entered into a Rights Agreement, dated as of August 5, 1996, with First Chicago Trust Company, pursuant to which each outstanding share of our common stock has attached four-ninths of a right to purchase shares of our common stock. Each share of our common stock subsequently issued prior to the expiration of the Rights Agreement will likewise have attached four-ninths of a right. Under circumstances described below, the rights will entitle the holder thereof to purchase additional shares of our common stock. In this prospectus, unless the context requires otherwise, all references to our common stock include the accompanying rights.
        Currently, the rights are not exercisable and trade with our common stock. If the rights become exercisable, each full right, unless held by a person or group that beneficially owns more than 20% of our outstanding common stock, will initially entitle the holder to purchase one share of our common stock at a purchase price of $100, subject to adjustment. The rights will become exercisable only if a person or group has acquired, or announced an intention to acquire, 20% or more of our outstanding common stock. Under some circumstances, including the existence of a 20% acquiring party, each holder of a right, other than the acquiring party, will be entitled to purchase at the right's then-current exercise price, shares of our common stock having a market value of two times the exercise price. If another corporation acquires us after a party acquires 20% or more of our common stock, each holder of a right will be entitled to receive the acquiring corporation's common shares having a market value of two times the exercise price. Each right may be redeemed at a price of $0.01 until a party acquires 20% or more of our common stock and, after that time, may be exchanged for one share of our common stock per right until a party acquires 50% or more of our common stock. The rights expire on September 18, 2006. Under the Rights Agreement, our board of directors may reduce the thresholds applicable to the rights from 20% to not less than 10%. The rights do not have voting or dividend rights and, until they become exercisable, have no dilutive effect on our earnings.
Certain Statutory Provisions
        Business Combination Statute.     Sections 180.1140 to 180.1144 of the Wisconsin Business Corporation Law regulate a broad range of business combinations between a "resident domestic corporation" and an "interested shareholder." A business combination is defined to include any of the following transactions:
•
a merger or share exchange;

•
a sale, lease, exchange, mortgage, pledge, transfer or other disposition of assets equal to 5% or more of the market value of the stock or consolidated assets of the resident domestic corporation or 10% of its consolidated earning power or income;

•
the issuance of stock or rights to purchase stock with a market value equal to 5% or more of the outstanding stock of the resident domestic corporation;

•
the adoption of a plan of liquidation or dissolution; or

•
certain other transactions involving an interested shareholder.
        A "resident domestic corporation" is defined to mean a Wisconsin corporation that has a class of voting stock that is registered or traded on a national securities exchange or that is registered under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act and that, as of the relevant date, satisfies any of the following:
•
its principal offices are located in Wisconsin;

•
it has significant business operations located in Wisconsin;

•
more than 10% of the holders of record of its shares are residents of Wisconsin; or
13

•
more than 10% of its shares are held of record by residents of Wisconsin.
Manitowoc is a resident domestic corporation for purposes of these statutory provisions.
        An interested shareholder is defined to mean a person who beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, 10% of the voting power of the outstanding voting stock of a resident domestic corporation or who is an affiliate or associate of the resident domestic corporation and beneficially owned 10% of the voting power of its then outstanding voting stock within the last three years.
        Under this law, we cannot engage in a business combination with an interested shareholder for a period of three years following the date such person becomes an interested shareholder, unless the board of directors approved the business combination or the acquisition of the stock that resulted in the person becoming an interested shareholder before such acquisition. We may engage in a business combination with an interested shareholder after the three-year period with respect to that shareholder expires only if one or more of the following conditions is satisfied:
•
the board of directors approved the acquisition of the stock prior to such shareholder's acquisition date;

•
the business combination is approved by a majority of the outstanding voting stock not beneficially owned by the interested shareholder; or

•
the consideration to be received by shareholders meets certain fair price requirements of the statute with respect to form and amount.
        Fair Price Statute.     The Wisconsin Business Corporation Law also provides, in Sections 180.1130 to 180.1133, that certain mergers, share exchanges or sales, leases, exchanges or other dispositions of assets in a transaction involving a significant shareholder and a resident domestic corporation such as us require a supermajority vote of shareholders in addition to any approval otherwise required, unless shareholders receive a fair price for their shares that satisfies a statutory formula. A "significant shareholder" for this purpose is defined as a person or group who beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, 10% or more of the voting stock of the resident domestic corporation, or is an affiliate of the resident domestic corporation and beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, 10% or more of the voting stock of the resident domestic corporation within the last two years. Any such business combination must be approved by 80% of the voting power of the resident domestic corporation's stock and at least two-thirds of the voting power of its stock not beneficially owned by the significant shareholder who is party to the relevant transaction or any of its affiliates or associates, in each case voting together as a single group, unless the following fair price standards have been met:
•
the aggregate value of the per share consideration is equal to the highest of:

•
the highest price paid for any common shares of the corporation by the significant shareholder in the transaction in which it became a significant shareholder or within two years before the date of the business combination;

•
the market value of the corporation's shares on the date of commencement of any tender offer by the significant shareholder, the date on which the person became a significant shareholder or the date of the first public announcement of the proposed business combination, whichever is higher; or

•
the highest preferential liquidation or dissolution distribution to which holders of the shares would be entitled; and

•
either cash, or the form of consideration used by the significant shareholder to acquire the largest number of shares, is offered.
14

        Control Share Voting Restrictions.     Under Section 180.1150 of the Wisconsin Business Corporation Law, unless otherwise provided in the articles of incorporation, the voting power of shares of a resident domestic corporation held by any person or group of persons acting together in excess of 20% of the voting power in the election of directors is limited (in voting on any matter) to 10% of the full voting power of those shares. This restriction does not apply to shares acquired directly from the resident domestic corporation, in certain specified transactions, or in a transaction in which the corporation's shareholders have approved restoration of the full voting power of the otherwise restricted shares. Manitowoc's articles do not provide otherwise.
        Defensive Action Restrictions.     Section 180.1134 of the Wisconsin Business Corporation Law provides that, in addition to the vote otherwise required by law or the articles of incorporation of a resident domestic corporation, the approval of the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote is required before such corporation can take certain action while a takeover offer is being made or after a takeover offer has been publicly announced and before it is concluded. This statute requires shareholder approval for the corporation to do either of the following:
•
acquire more than 5% of its outstanding voting shares at a price above the market price from any individual or organization that owns more than 3% of the outstanding voting shares and has held such shares for less than two years, unless a similar offer is made to acquire all voting shares and all securities which may be converted into voting shares; or

•
sell or option assets of the corporation which amount to 10% or more of the market value of the corporation, unless the corporation has at least three independent directors (directors who are not officers or employees) and a majority of the independent directors vote not to have this provision apply to the corporation.
        We currently have more than three independent directors. The foregoing restrictions may have the effect of deterring a shareholder from acquiring our shares with the goal of seeking to have us repurchase such shares at a premium over market price.

 BOOK-ENTRY
        The Depository Trust Company ("DTC") may act as securities depository for the securities, in which case the applicable prospectus supplement will so provide. The securities will be issued only as fully registered securities registered in the name of Cede & Co., DTC's partnership nominee. One or more fully registered global certificates will be issued for the securities representing the aggregate principal amount of the debt securities or the number of shares of common stock offered by the applicable prospectus supplement and will be deposited with DTC.
        DTC is a limited-purpose trust company organized under the New York Banking Law, a "banking organization" within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a "clearing corporation" within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, and a "clearing agency" registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the 1934 Act, as amended. DTC holds securities that its participants (the "Direct Participants") deposit with DTC. DTC also facilitates the settlement among Direct Participants of securities transactions, such as transfers and pledges, in deposited securities through electronic computerized book-entry changes in Direct Participants' accounts, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of securities certificates. Direct Participants include securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations, and certain other organizations. DTC is owned by a number of its Direct Participants and by the New York Stock Exchange, Inc., the American Stock Exchange, Inc., and the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Access to the DTC system is also available to others such as securities brokers and dealers, banks, and trust companies that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Direct Participant, either directly or indirectly (the "Indirect Participants," and together with the Direct
15

Participants, the "Participants"). The rules applicable to DTC and its Participants are on file with the Commission.
        Purchases of the securities within the DTC system must be made by or through Direct Participants which will receive a credit for the securities on DTC's records. The ownership interest of each actual purchaser of each security (a "beneficial owner") will in turn be recorded on the Direct and Indirect Participants' respective records. Beneficial owners will not receive written confirmation from DTC of their purchase, but beneficial owners are expected to receive written confirmations providing details of the transaction, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the Direct or Indirect Participant through which the beneficial owner entered into the transaction. Transfers of ownership interest in the securities will be effected by entries made on the books of Participants acting on behalf of beneficial owners. Beneficial owners will not receive certificates representing their ownership interest in debt securities except in the event that use of the book-entry system for the debt securities is discontinued.
        The deposit of the securities with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede & Co. effect no change in beneficial ownership. DTC has no knowledge of the actual beneficial owners of the securities; DTC's records reflect only the identity of the Direct Participants to whose accounts such securities are credited, which may or may not be the beneficial owners. The Participants will remain responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers.
        Conveyance of notices and other direct communications by DTC to Direct Participants, by Direct Participants to Indirect Participants, and by Direct Participants and Indirect Participants to beneficial owners will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time.
        Redemption notices shall be sent to Cede & Co. If less than all of the securities of an issue are being redeemed, DTC's practice will determine by lot the amount of the interest of each Direct Participant in such series to be redeemed.
        Neither DTC nor Cede & Co. will consent or vote with respect to the securities. Under its usual procedures, DTC mails an omnibus proxy (an "omnibus proxy") to the Participants as soon as possible after the record date. The omnibus proxy assigns Cede & Co.'s consenting or voting rights to those Direct Participants to whose accounts the securities are credited on the record date, identified in a listing attached to the omnibus proxy.
        Principal, premium, if any, and interest on the debt securities and dividends on common stock, if applicable, will be paid to DTC. DTC's practice is to credit Direct Participants' accounts on the relevant payment date in accordance with their respective holdings shown on DTC's records unless DTC has reason to believe that it will not receive payment on such payment date. Payments by Participants to beneficial owners will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in "street-name," and will be the responsibility of such Participant and not of DTC, the underwriters, or Manitowoc, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the debt securities and dividends on common stock, if applicable, to DTC is the responsibility of the Company or the Trustee. Disbursement of such payments to Direct Participants is the responsibility of DTC, and disbursement of such payments to the beneficial owners is the responsibility of Direct and Indirect Participants.
        DTC may discontinue providing its services as securities depository with respect to the securities at any time by giving us reasonable notice. Under such circumstances and in the event that a successor securities depository is not obtained, certificates for the securities are required to be printed and delivered. In addition, we may decide to discontinue use of the system of book-entry transfers through DTC, or any successor securities depository. In that event, certificates for the securities will be printed and delivered.
16

        We will not have any responsibility or obligation to Participants or to the persons for whom they act as nominees with respect to the accuracy of the records of DTC, its nominees or any Direct or Indirect Participant with respect to any ownership interest in the securities, or with respect to payments or providing of notice to the Direct Participants, the Indirect Participants or the beneficial owners.
        So long as Cede & Co. is the registered owner of the securities, as nominee of DTC, references herein to holders of the securities shall mean Cede & Co. or DTC and shall not mean the beneficial owners of the securities.
        The information in this section concerning DTC and DTC's book-entry system has been obtained from DTC. None of Manitowoc, the trustee or the underwriters take any responsibility for the accuracy or completeness thereof.

 PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
        We may sell the securities offered under this prospectus to or through underwriting syndicates represented by managing underwriters, though one or more underwriters without a syndicate for them to offer and sell to the public, agents or dealers or to investors directly in negotiated sales or in competitively bid transactions. Any offering of common stock may also include sales by selling shareholders, who will be identified in any applicable supplement.
Underwriters
        The relevant prospectus supplement will identify any agents or underwriters and describe their compensation, including underwriting discount. The prospectus supplement will also describe other terms of the offering, including any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers and any securities exchanges or automated quotation systems on which any offered debt securities may be listed.
        The distribution of securities under this prospectus may occur from time to time in one or more transactions at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to those prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices.
Agents and Direct Sales
        If the applicable prospectus supplement indicates, we will authorize dealers or our agents to solicit offers by various institutions to purchase offered securities from us pursuant to contracts that provide for payment and delivery on a future date. We must approve all institutions, but they may include, among others:
•
commercial and savings banks;

•
insurance companies;

•
pension funds;

•
investment companies; and

•
educational and charitable institutions.
        The institutional purchaser's obligations will be subject only to the condition that the purchase of the securities is permitted at the time of delivery. The dealers and our agents will not be responsible for the validity or performance of the contract.
17

General Information
        Underwriters, dealers and agents participating in a sale of securities may be deemed to be underwriters as defined in the Securities Act, and any discounts and commissions received by them and any profit realized by them on resale of the securities may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. We may have agreements with the agents, underwriters and dealers to indemnify them against various civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribute to payments that the agents, underwriters or dealers may be required to make as a result of those civil liabilities.
        Our common stock is quoted on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "MTW." However, unless we indicate differently in a prospectus supplement, we will not list the debt securities on any securities exchange or seek to have them included on the New York Stock Exchange or any other automated quotation system. If we sell a security offered under this prospectus to an underwriter for public offering and sale, the underwriter may make a market for that security, but is not obligated to do so. Therefore, we cannot give any assurances to you concerning the liquidity of any security offered under this prospectus.
        Agents and underwriters and their affiliates may be customers of, engage in transactions with, or perform services for us or our subsidiary companies in the ordinary course of business.

 LEGAL MATTERS
        The validity of the securities to be sold pursuant to this prospectus will be passed upon for us by Quarles & Brady LLP, Milwaukee, Wisconsin counsel to Manitowoc. Legal matters will be passed upon for the underwriters, dealers or agents by counsel we will name in the applicable prospectus supplement.

 EXPERTS
        The financial statements of Manitowoc as of December 31, 2001 and 2000 and for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2001 incorporated by reference into this prospectus by reference to the Annual Report on Form 10-K of Manitowoc for the year ended December 31, 2001 have been so incorporated in reliance on the report of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, independent accountants, given on the authority of said firm as experts in auditing and accounting.
        The consolidated financial statements of Potain S.A. appearing in Manitowoc's Current Report on Form 8-K dated May 9, 2001, have been audited by Ernst & Young Audit, independent auditors, as set forth in their report included therein and incorporated herein by reference. Such consolidated financial statements are incorporated herein by reference in reliance upon such report given on the authority of such firm as experts in accounting and auditing.
        The consolidated financial statements of Grove Investors, Inc. as of September 29, 2001 (Successor Company) and September 30, 2000 (Predecessor Company) and for each of the years in the three-year period ended September 29, 2001 (Predecessor Company) have been incorporated by reference into this prospectus and in the registration statement in reliance upon the report of KPMG LLP, independent accountants, incorporated by reference into this prospectus and upon the authority of said firm as experts in auditing and accounting. As stated in the report of KPMG LLP, effective September 29, 2001 Grove accounted for a change in ownership through "fresh-start" reporting. As a result, the consolidated information prior to September 29, 2001 is presented on a different cost basis than that as of September 29, 2001 and, therefore, is not comparable.

 Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
        The Registrant is incorporated under the Wisconsin Business Corporation Law ("WBCL"). Under Section 180.0851(1) of the WBCL, the Registrant is required to indemnify a director or officer, to the extent such person is successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of a proceeding, for all reasonable expenses incurred in the proceeding if such person was a party because he or she was a director or officer of the Registrant. In all other cases, the Registrant is required by Section 180.0851(2) of the WBCL to indemnify a director or officer against liability incurred in a proceeding to which such person was a party because he or she was an officer or director of the Registrant, unless it is determined that he or she breached or failed to perform a duty owed to the Registrant and the breach or failure to perform constitutes: (i) a willful failure to deal fairly with the Registrant or its shareholders in connection with a matter in which the director or officer has a material conflict of interest; (ii) a violation of criminal law, unless the director or officer had reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was lawful or no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful; (iii) a transaction from which the director or officer derived an improper personal profit; or (iv) willful misconduct. Section 180.0858(1) of the WBCL provides that, subject to certain limitations, the mandatory indemnification provisions do not preclude any additional right to indemnification or allowance of expenses that a director or officer may have under the Registrant's articles of incorporation, bylaws, a written agreement or a resolution of the board of directors or shareholders.
        Section 180.0859 of the WBCL provides that it is the public policy of the State of Wisconsin to require or permit indemnification, allowance of expenses and insurance to the extent required or permitted under Sections 180.0850 to 180.0858 of the WBCL for any liability incurred in connection with a proceeding involving a federal or state statute, rule or regulation regulating the offer, sale or purchase of securities.
        Section 180.0828 of the WBCL provides that, with certain exceptions, a director is not liable to a corporation, its shareholders, or any person asserting rights on behalf of the corporation or its shareholders, for damages, settlements, fees, fines, penalties or other monetary liabilities arising from a breach of, or failure to perform, any duty resulting solely from his or her status as a director, unless the person asserting liability proves that the breach or failure to perform constitutes any of the four exceptions to mandatory indemnification under Section 180.0851(2) referred to above.
        Under Section 180.0833 of the WBCL, directors of the Registrant against whom claims are asserted with respect to the declaration of an improper dividend or other distribution to shareholders
II-1

to which the directors assented are entitled to contribution from other directors who assented to such distribution and from shareholders who knowingly accepted the improper distribution, as provided therein.
        The Registrant's Bylaws contain provisions that generally parallel the indemnification provisions of the WBCL and cover certain procedural matters not dealt with in the WBCL. Directors and officers of the Registrant are also covered by directors' and officers' liability insurance under which they are insured (subject to certain exceptions and limitations specified in the policy) against expenses and liabilities arising out of proceedings to which they are parties by reason of being or having been directors or officers.

 Item 16. Exhibits.
        See the Exhibit Index following the Signatures page in this Registration Statement, which Exhibit Index is incorporated herein by reference.

 Item 17. Undertakings.
        (a)    The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
        (1)    To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i)
to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

(ii)
to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective Registration Statement; and

(iii)
to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement;
         Provided, however , that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) of this section do not apply if the Registration Statement is on Form S-3 or Form S-8, and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.
        (2)    That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
        (3)    To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
        (b)    The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a)
II-2

or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
        (h)    Reference is made to the indemnification provisions described in Item 15 of this Registration Statement.
        Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
        (i)    The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that:
(1)
For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this Registration Statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this Registration Statement as of the time it was declared effective.

(2)
For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

SECTION 2.04. HOLDERS TO BE TREATED AS OWNERS; PAYMENTS OF INTEREST.

SECTION 2.05. PAYING AGENT TO HOLD MONEY IN TRUST. Not later than 12:00 noon (New York Time) one Business Day prior to each due date of the principal and interest on any Notes, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent money in immediately available funds sufficient to pay such principal and interest so becoming due on the due date for payment under the Notes. The Company shall require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that such Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of the Holders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes (whether such money has been paid to it by the Company or any other obligor on the Notes), and such Paying Agent shall promptly notify the Trustee of any default by the Company (or any other obligor on the Notes) in making any such payment. Money held in trust by any Paying Agent need not be segregated except as required by law and in no event shall any Paying Agent be liable for any interest on any money received by it hereunder.
-11-

The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and account for any funds disbursed, and the Trustee may at any time during the continuance of any payment default, upon written request to a Paying Agent, require such Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and to account for any funds disbursed. Upon doing so, the Paying Agent shall have no further liability for the money so paid over to the Trustee.
SECTION 2.06. TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE. Where Notes of a series are presented to the Transfer Agent with a request to register denominations of the same series, the Transfer Agent shall register the transfer or make the exchange if its requirements for such transactions are met.
The Transfer Agent may require a Holder to pay a sum sufficient to cover any taxes imposed on a transfer or exchange.
SECTION 2.07. REPLACEMENT NOTES. If a mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee or if the Holder claims that the Note has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Note of like tenor and amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding; provided that the requirements of this Section 2.07 are met. An indemnity bond must be furnished that is sufficient in the judgment of both the Trustee and the Company to protect the Company, the Trustee or any Agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Company may charge such Holder for its expenses and the expenses of the Trustee in replacing a Note. In case any such mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken Note has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may pay such Note instead of issuing a new Note in replacement thereof.
Every replacement Note is an additional obligation of the Company and shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.
SECTION 2.08. OUTSTANDING NOTES. Notes outstanding at any time are all Notes that have been authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those paid pursuant to Section 2.07 and those described in this Section 2.08 as not outstanding.
If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07, it ceases to be outstanding unless and until the Trustee and the Company receive proof satisfactory to them that the replaced Note is held by a bona fide purchaser.
If the Paying Agent (other than the Company or an Affiliate of the Company) holds on any redemption date, the maturity date or any date of repurchase money sufficient to pay Notes payable on that date, then on and after that date such Notes cease to be outstanding and interest on them shall cease to accrue.
-12-

A Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or one of its Affiliates holds such Note; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, in determining whether the Holders of the requisite principal amount of the outstanding Notes have given any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver hereunder, Notes owned by the Company or any other obligor upon the Notes or any Affiliate of the Company or of such other obligor shall be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding, except that, in determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying upon any such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver, only Notes that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge or has received written notice to be so owned shall be so disregarded. The Company shall notify the Trustee when it, any obligor or any of their respective Affiliates acquires any Notes. Notes so owned which have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as outstanding if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee's right so to act with respect to such Notes and that the pledgee is not the Company or any other obligor upon the Notes or any Affiliate of the Company or of such other obligor.
SECTION 2.09. GLOBAL NOTES. If a Securities Resolution so provides, the Company may issue some or all of the Notes of a series in temporary or permanent global form. A global Note may be in registered form or in uncertificated form. A global Note shall represent that amount of Notes of a series as specified in the global Note or as endorsed thereon from time to time. At the Company's request, the Registrar shall endorse a global Security to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the Notes represented thereby.
The Company may issue a global Note only to a depository designated by the Company. A depository may transfer a global Note only as a whole to its nominee or to a successor depository.
The Notes Resolution may establish, among other things, the manner of paying principal and interest on a global Note and whether and upon what terms a beneficial owner of an interest in a global Note may exchange such interest for definitive Notes.
The Company, an Affiliate, the Trustee and any Agent shall not be responsible for any acts or omissions of a depository, for any depository records of beneficial ownership interests or for any transactions between the depository and beneficial owners.
SECTION 2.10. TEMPORARY NOTES. Until definitive permanent Notes are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of definitive permanent Notes but may have insertions, substitutions, omissions and other variations determined to be appropriate by the officers executing the temporary Notes, as evidenced by their execution of such temporary Notes. If temporary Notes are issued, the Company shall cause definitive permanent notes to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive permanent Notes, the temporary Notes shall be exchangeable for definitive permanent Notes upon surrender of
-13-

the temporary Notes at the office or agency of the Company designated for such purpose pursuant to Section 4.02, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Notes, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery in exchange therefor a like principal amount of definitive permanent Notes of authorized denominations. Until so exchanged, the temporary Notes shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive permanent Notes.
SECTION 2.11. CANCELLATION. The Company at any time may deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and may deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated hereunder which the Company has not issued and sold. The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee shall cancel all Notes surrendered for transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation in accordance with its normal procedure.
SECTION 2.12. DEFAULTED INTEREST. If the Company defaults on a payment of interest on the Notes, it shall pay, or shall deposit with the Paying Agent money in immediately available funds sufficient to pay the defaulted interest, plus (to the extent lawful) any interest payable on the defaulted interest, to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date. A special record date, as used in this Section 2.12 with respect to the payment of any defaulted interest, shall mean the 15th day next preceding the date fixed by the Company for the payment of defaulted interest, whether or not such day is a Business Day. At least 15 days before the subsequent special record date, the Company shall mail to each Holder and to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee a notice that states the subsequent special record date, the payment date and the amount of defaulted interest to be paid.
SECTION 2.13. CUSIP NUMBERS.
The Company in issuing the Notes may use "CUSIP" numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use "CUSIP" numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; PROVIDED that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the "CUSIP" numbers.

If, however, the Company gives such notice to the Holders, the Company shall concurrently deliver to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate stating that such notice has been given.
SECTION 3.04. EFFECT OF NOTICE OF REDEMPTION. Once notice of redemption is mailed, Notes called for redemption become due and payable on the redemption date and at the redemption price, unless the redemption is conditioned upon the occurrence of a subsequent event. Upon surrender of any Notes to the Paying Agent, unless such redemption is conditioned upon the occurrence of a subsequent event, such Notes shall be paid at the redemption price, plus accrued interest, if any, to the redemption date.
Notice of redemption shall be deemed to be given when mailed, whether or not the Holder receives the notice. In any event, failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of Notes held by Holders to whom such notice was properly given.
SECTION 3.05. DEPOSIT OF REDEMPTION PRICE. On or before 12:00 noon (New York City time) one Business Day prior to any redemption date, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 2.05) money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest on all Notes to be redeemed on that date other than Notes or portions thereof called for redemption on that date that have been delivered by the Company to the Trustee for cancellation.
SECTION 3.06. PAYMENT OF NOTES CALLED FOR REDEMPTION. If notice of redemption has been given in the manner provided above, and unless such redemption is conditioned upon a subsequent event, the Notes or portion of Notes specified in such notice to be redeemed shall become due and payable on the redemption date at the redemption price stated therein, together with accrued interest, if any, to such redemption date, and so long as the Company has deposited with the Paying Agent funds in satisfaction of the redemption price pursuant to the terms of this Indenture on and after such date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of such Notes at the redemption price and accrued interest, if any, to the redemption date, in which case the principal, until paid, shall bear interest from the redemption date at the rate prescribed in the Notes), such Notes shall cease to accrue interest. Upon surrender of any Note for redemption in accordance with a notice of redemption, such Note shall be paid and redeemed by the Company at the redemption price, together with accrued interest, if any, to the redemption date; PROVIDED that installments of interest whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the redemption date shall be payable to the Holders registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Regular Record Date.

(c) At any time after a declaration of acceleration with respect to the Notes as described in Section 6.01(b), the Holders of a majority in principal amount of such Notes may rescind and cancel such declaration and its consequences:

Holders of the Notes may not enforce this Indenture or the Notes except as provided in this Indenture and under the TIA.

Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose

However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture or that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders or would involve the Trustee in personal liability; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction.
SECTION 6.06. LIMITATION ON SUITS. A Holder may not pursue any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture and the Notes of a series or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder unless:

(iii) such Holder or Holders offer the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any costs, liability or expense;

(v) during such 15-day period, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes of a series do not give the Trustee a direction that is inconsistent with the request.
However, such limitations do not apply to a suit instituted by a Holder of any Note for enforcement of payment of the principal of or interest on such Note on or after the due date therefor (after giving effect to any grace period specified in Section 6.01(a) and only with respect to the amount of such missed payment).
For purposes of Section 6.05 of this Indenture and this Section 6.06, the Trustee shall comply with TIA Section 316(a) in making any determination of whether the Holders of the required aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes have concurred in any request or direction of the Trustee to pursue any remedy available to the Trustee or the Holders with respect to this Indenture and such Notes or otherwise under the law.

Section 7.07) and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company (or any other obligor of the Notes), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect and receive any monies, securities or other property payable or deliverable upon conversion or exchange of the Notes or upon any such claims and to distribute the same, and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agent and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to empower the Trustee to authorize or consent to, or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder, any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

SECTION 6.14. DELAY OR OMISSION NOT WAIVER. No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein.

The Company shall indemnify the Trustee, in each of its capacities, and any successor of the Trustee, in each of its capacities, for, and hold it harmless against, any and all claims, damages, losses, costs, liability or expense (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel and advisors) and taxes (other than taxes based on the income of the Trustee) incurred by it without negligence or willful misconduct on its part arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this Indenture and its duties under this Indenture and the Notes and the exercise of its rights and powers under this Indenture, including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim or liability (whether asserted by the Company, any Holder or any other Person) and of complying with any process served upon it or any of its officers in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties under this Indenture and the Notes and the exercise of the rights of the Trustee thereunder. The Company need not pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
To secure the Company's payment obligations in this Section 7.07, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, in its capacity as Trustee, except money or property held in trust to pay principal of, Additional Interest, if any, and interest on particular Notes.
If the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in Sections 6.01(a)(5) and/or 6.01(a)(6), the expenses (including the reasonable charges and expenses of its counsel) and the compensation for the services will
-29-

be intended to constitute expenses of administration under Title 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code or any applicable foreign, federal or state law for the relief of debtors.
The provisions of this Section 7.07 shall survive the termination of this Indenture, payment of the Notes and/or the removal or resignation of the Trustee.
SECTION 7.08. REPLACEMENT OF TRUSTEE. A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee shall become effective only upon the successor Trustee's acceptance of appointment as provided in this
Section 7.08.
The Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the Company in writing at least 30 days prior to the date of the proposed resignation. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee in writing and may appoint a successor Trustee with the prior written consent of the Company. The Company may remove the Trustee by a Board Resolution if: (a) the Trustee is no longer eligible under Section 7.10; (b) the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent; (c) a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or (d) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting.
If the Trustee resigns or is removed, or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Company. If the successor Trustee does not deliver its written acceptance required by the next succeeding paragraph of this Section 7.08 within 30 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Company or the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may petition, at the expense of the Company, any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.
A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Immediately after the delivery of such written acceptance, subject to the lien provided in Section 7.07, (i) the retiring Trustee shall transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, (ii) the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and (iii) the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. A successor Trustee shall mail notice of its succession to each Holder.
If the Trustee is no longer eligible under Section 7.10, any Holder who satisfies the requirements of TIA Section 310(b) may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.
-30-

The Company shall give notice of any resignation and any removal of the Trustee and each appointment of a successor Trustee to all Holders. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee and the address of its Corporate Trust Office.
Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this
Section 7.08, the Company's obligation under Section 7.07 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.
SECTION 7.09. SUCCESSOR TRUSTEE BY MERGER, ETC. If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another corporation or national banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation or national banking association without any further act shall be the successor Trustee with the same effect as if the successor Trustee had been named as the Trustee herein.
SECTION 7.10. ELIGIBILITY. This Indenture shall always have a Trustee who satisfies the requirements of TIA Section 310(a)(1). The Trustee shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50.0 million as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition.
SECTION 7.11. MONEY HELD IN TRUST. The Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the Trustee may agree in writing with the Company. Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law and except for money held in trust under Article Eight of this Indenture.
SECTION 7.12. WITHHOLDING TAXES. The Paying Agent, as agent for the Company, shall exclude and withhold from each payment of principal and interest and other amounts due hereunder or under the Notes any and all withholding taxes applicable thereto as required by law, as directed in writing by the Company. The Paying Agent agrees to act as such withholding agent and, in connection therewith, whenever any present or future taxes or similar charges are required to be withheld with respect to any amounts payable in respect of the Notes, to withhold such amounts, as directed in writing by the Company, and timely pay the same to the appropriate authority, as directed in writing by the Company, in the name of and on behalf of the Holders of the Notes, and to file any necessary withholding tax returns or statements when due. The Company or the Trustee shall, as promptly as possible after the payment of the taxes described above, deliver to each Holder of a Note documentation in form satisfactory to the Company showing the payment thereof, together with such additional documentary evidence as such Holders may reasonably request from time to time.
SECTION 7.13. TRUSTEE'S APPLICATION FOR INSTRUCTIONS FROM THE COMPANY. Any application by the Trustee for written instructions from the Company may, at the option of the Trustee, set forth in writing any action proposed to be taken or omitted by the Trustee under this Indenture and the date on and/or after which such actions shall be taken or such
-31-

omission shall be effective. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken by, or omission of, the Trustee in accordance with a proposal included in such application on or after the date specified in such application (which date shall not be less than three Business Days after the date any Officer of the Company actually receives such application, unless any such Officer shall have consented in writing to any earlier date) unless prior to taking any such action (or the effective date in the case of an omission), the Trustee shall have received written instructions in response to such application specifying the action to be taken or omitted.
SECTION 7.14. APPOINTMENT OF CO-TRUSTEE. (a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirement of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Notes may at the time be located, the Trustee shall have the power and may execute and deliver all instruments necessary to appoint one or more Persons to act as a co-trustee or co-trustees, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Notes, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the Holders, such title to the Notes, or any part hereof, and subject to the other provisions of this Section 7.14, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. No notice to Holders of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required.
(b) Every separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and conditions:
(i) all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly (it being understood that such separate trustee or co-trustee is not authorized to act separately without the Trustee joining in such act) except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified or it shall be unreasonably burdensome for the Trustee to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to the Notes or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed singly by such separate trustee or co-trustee, but solely at the direction of the Trustee;
(ii) no trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder; and
(iii) the Trustee may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee.
(c) Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees, as effectively
-32-

as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Indenture and the conditions of this Article Seven. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the appointment, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Indenture, specifically including every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection or rights (including the rights to compensation, reimbursement and indemnification hereunder) to, the Trustee. Every such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee.
(d) Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time constitute the Trustee its agent or attorney-in-fact with full power and authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this Indenture on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, until the appointment of a new trustee or successor to such separate or co-trustee.

SECTION 9.02. WITH CONSENT OF HOLDERS. Unless the Securities Resolution otherwise provides, subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 and without prior notice to the Holders, the Company, when authorized by its Board of Directors (as evidenced by a Board Resolution), and the Trustee may amend this Indenture and the Notes with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, and the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding by written notice to the Trustee may waive compliance by the Company with any provision of this Indenture and the Notes.
-39-

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.02, without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment or waiver, including a waiver pursuant to Section 6.04, may not:
(i) reduce the amount of Notes whose Holders must consent to an amendment;
(ii) reduce the rate of or change or have the effect of changing the time for payment of interest, including defaulted interest, on any Notes;
(iii) reduce the principal of or change or have the effect of changing the fixed maturity of any Notes, or change the date on which any Notes may be subject to redemption or reduce the redemption price therefor;
(iv) make any Notes payable in money other than that stated in the Notes;
(v) make any change in provisions of this Indenture protecting the right of each Holder to receive payment of principal of and interest on such Note on or after the due date thereof or to bring suit to enforce such payment, or permitting Holders of a majority in principal amount of Notes to waive Defaults or Events of Default; or
(vi) make any change that materially adversely affects the right to convert or exchange any Notes.
It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, supplement or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof.
After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Company shall mail to the Holders affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. The Company shall mail supplemental indentures to Holders upon request. Any failure of the Company to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture or waiver.
This Section 9.02 is subject to Section 9.05.
SECTION 9.03. REVOCATION AND EFFECT OF CONSENT. Until an amendment or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder is a continuing consent by the Holder and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as
-40-

the Note of the consenting Holder, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note. However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as to its Note or portion of its Note. Such revocation shall be effective only if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation before the date the amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective. An amendment, supplement or waiver shall become effective on receipt by the Trustee of written consents from the Holders of the requisite percentage in principal amount of the outstanding Notes and any other conditions thereto specified in the notice relating thereto.
The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to consent to any amendment, supplement or waiver. If a record date is fixed, then, notwithstanding the last two sentences of the immediately preceding paragraph, those persons who were Holders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies) and only those persons shall be entitled to consent to such amendment, supplement or waiver or to revoke any consent previously given, whether or not such persons continue to be Holders after such record date. No such consent shall be valid or effective for more than 90 days after such record date.
After an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, it shall bind every Holder unless it is of the type described in any of clauses (i) through (vi) of Section 9.02. In case of an amendment or waiver of the type described in clauses (i) through (vi) of Section 9.02, the amendment or waiver shall bind each Holder who has consented to it and every subsequent Holder of a Note that evidences the same indebtedness as the Note of the consenting Holder.
SECTION 9.04. NOTATION ON OR EXCHANGE OF NOTES. If an amendment, supplement or waiver changes the terms of a Note, the Trustee may require the Holder to deliver it to the Trustee. The Trustee shall, if directed in writing by the Company, place an appropriate notation on the Note about the changed terms and return it to the Holder and the Trustee shall, if directed in writing by the Company, place an appropriate notation on any Note thereafter authenticated. Alternatively, if the Company so determines, the Company in exchange for the Note shall issue and the Trustee upon the Company's written direction in the form of a Company Order shall authenticate a new Note that reflects the changed terms.
SECTION 9.05. TRUSTEE TO SIGN AMENDMENTS, ETC. The Trustee shall receive, and shall be fully protected in relying upon an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article Nine is authorized and permitted by this Indenture (and otherwise in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee) and, in the case of an Inversion Transaction, that the Supplemental Indenture is a legal and binding obligation of the New Parent and enforceable against the New Parent in accordance with its terms. Subject to the preceding sentence, the Trustee shall sign such amendment, supplement or waiver if the same
-41-

does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, execute any such amendment, supplement or waiver that affects the Trustee's own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.
SECTION 9.06. CONFORMITY WITH TRUST INDENTURE ACT. Every supplemental indenture executed pursuant to this Article Nine shall conform to the requirement of the TIA as then in effect.

The Manitowoc Company, Inc.
500 South 16th Street
Manitowoc WI 542221-0066
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We are providing this opinion in connection with the Registration Statement of The Manitowoc Company, Inc. (the "Company") on Form S-3 (the "Registration Statement") to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"). The Registration Statement relates to the proposed offering on a delayed basis pursuant to Rule 415 under the Act, together or separately, for an aggregate initial offering price not to exceed $750,000,000, of the Company's
(i) unsecured debt securities (the "Debt Securities"), (ii) related guarantees (the "Gurantees") by various Company subsidiaries (the "Subsidiaries") and/or
(iii) common stock, par value $0.01 per share (together with the common stock purchase rights attached thereto) (the "Common Stock"). The Debt Securities, the Guarantees and the Common Stock are collectively referred to herein as the "Offered Securities."
We have examined (i) the Registration Statement; (ii) the Company's Restated Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws, as amended to date; (iii) the proposed form of Indenture for Debt Securities (including, as an exhibit, a proposed form of Registered Security thereunder) (the "Indenture"), providing for the issuance of the Debt Securities from time to time in one or more series pursuant to the terms of one or more Securities Resolutions (as defined in the Indenture) creating such series; (iv) corporate proceedings of the Company and, if applicable, the relevant subsidiaries, relating to the Registration Statement, the Indenture and the transactions contemplated thereby; and (v) such other documents, and such matters of law, as we have deemed necessary in order to render this opinion.
In connection with this opinion, we have assumed that, at or prior to the time of delivery of the Offered Securities, (i) the Registration Statement and any amendments thereto (including post-effective amendments) will have become effective under the Act; (ii) a prospectus supplement will have been prepared and filed with the Commission describing the terms of each particular issue of Offered Securities offered and the terms of the offering thereof; (iii) all Offered Securities will be issued and sold in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws and in the manner stated in the Registration Statement and the applicable prospectus supplement; (iv) with respect to an offering of Debt Securities and any Guarantees, the Indenture will have been duly qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the "Trust Indenture Act"), and will have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and the Trustee; and (v) as appropriate, a definitive purchase, underwriting or similar agreement with respect to any Offered Securities offered will have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and the other parties thereto.
On the basis and subject to the foregoing, we advise you that, in our opinion:
(1) The Company is a corporation validly existing under the laws of the State of Wisconsin.

(2) When (i) the Registration Statement has become effective under the Act and the Indenture has been duly qualified under the Trust Indenture Act, (ii) the terms of any class or series of Offered Securities have been authorized by appropriate action of the Company and, in the case of any Guarantees, the applicable subsidiaries, (iii) any Debt Securities and Guarantees have been duly executed, authenticated, issued and delivered in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture and the applicable Securities Resolution, and (iv) any such class or series of Offered Securities has been duly issued and sold, and payment has been received for such Offered Securities in the manner contemplated in the Registration Statement and the prospectus supplement relating thereto, then (a) if the Offered Securities are shares of Common Stock, such shares will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, subject to the personal liability which may be imposed on shareholders by Section 180.0622(2)(b) of the Wisconsin Business Corporation Law, as judicially interpreted, for debts owing to employees for services performed, but not exceeding six months service in any one case; (b) if the Offered Securities are Debt Securities, they will be legally issued and will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company; and (c) if the Offered Securities are Guarantees, they will be legally issued and will constitute valid and binding obligations of the subsidiaries executing them.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' CONSENT
The Board of Directors
Grove Investors, Inc.
We consent to the incorporation by reference in the registration statement on Form S-3 of The Manitowoc Company of our report dated December 12, 2001, with respect to the consolidated balance sheet of Grove Investors, Inc. and subsidiaries as of September 29, 2001 and the consolidated balance sheet of SGPA, Inc. (formerly Grove Investors LLC) and subsidiaries as of September 30, 2000 and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), predecessor equity (deficit) and cash flows for each of the years ins the three-year period ended September 29, 2001 and to the reference to our firm under the heading "Experts" in the prospectus.
As stated in the report of KPMG LLP, effective September 29, 2001 Grove Investors, Inc. accounted for a change in ownership through "fresh-start" reporting. As a result, the consolidated information prior to September 29, 2001 is presented on a different cost basis than that as of September 29, 2001 and, therefore, is not comparable.
