Welcome to Bohl Companies

  • OUR HISTORY

    Bohl Companies has a long history of doing more than the customer expects. Founder Henry Bohl was a teacher turned brass foundry manager, who was fascinated by the emerging technology of mass-production foundaries. Envisioning a promising future for material handling, he formed his own company and began selling simple monorails. Today, Bohl has evolved into Bohl Crane, Inc., Bohl Equipment Co and Bohl Machine.
