Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 1996 and 1995

(Unaudited)

Note 1.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited
condensed financial statements contain all adjustments,
representing normal recurring accruals, necessary to present
fairly the results of operations for the quarter and nine
months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, the financial
position at September 30, 1996 and the changes in the cash
flows for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995.
The interim results are not necessarily indicative of
results for a full year and do not contain information
included in the Company's annual consolidated financial
statements and notes for the year ended December 31, 1995.

</TABLE>
Inventory is carried at lower of cost or market using the
first-in, first-out (FIFO) method for 59% and 60% of total
inventory at September 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995,
respectively. The remainder of the inventory is costed
using the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method.


Note 3.

The United States Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA")
has identified the Company as a potentially responsible
party ("PRP") under the Comprehensive Environmental Response
Compensation and Liability Act ("CERCLA"), liable for the
costs associated with investigating and cleaning up
contamination at the Lemberger Landfill Superfund Site ("the
Site") near Manitowoc, Wisconsin.

Eleven of the potentially responsible parties have formed a
group (the Lemberger Site Remediation Group, or "LSRG") and
have successfully negotiated with the EPA and Wisconsin
Department of Natural Resources to settle the potential
liability at the Site and fund the cleanup. Approximately
150 PRP's have been identified as having shipped substances
to the Site.


Recent estimates indicate that the total cost to clean up
the Site could be as high as $30 million, however, the
ultimate remediation methods and appropriate allocation of
costs for the Site are not yet final.

Although liability is joint and several, the Company's
percentage share of liability is estimated to be 11% of the
total cleanup costs.

In connection with this matter, the Company expensed $0.2
million, $1.6 million, $0.5 million, and $.9 million for the
year ended December 31, 1995, and fiscal years 1994, 1993,
and 1992 respectively, for its estimated portion of the
cleanup costs. There were no expenses incurred during the
nine months ended September 30, 1996.

As of September 30, 1996, 30 product related lawsuits were
pending. Of these, two occurred between 1985 and 1990 when
the Company was completely self-insured. The remaining
lawsuits occurred subsequent to June 1, 1990, at which time
the Company has insurance coverages ranging from a $5.5
million self-insured retention with a $10.0 million limit on
the insurer's contribution in 1990, to the current $1.0
million self-insured retention and $16.0 million limit on
the insurer's contribution.

Product liability reserves at September 30, 1996 are $6.7
million; $2.8 million reserved specifically for the 30 cases
referenced above, and $3.9 million for incurred but not
reported claims. These reserves were estimated using
actuarial methods. Based on the Company's experience in
defending itself against product liability claims,
management believes the current reserves are adequate for
estimated settlements on aggregate self-insured claims.

It is always possible that the estimates for environmental
remediation and product liability costs may change in the
near future based upon new information which could arise.

The Company is also involved in various other legal actions
arising in the normal course of business. After taking into
consideration legal counsel's evaluation of such actions, in
the opinion of management, ultimate resolution is not
expected to have a material adverse effect on the
consolidated financial statements.


Note 4.

In the transition period ended December 31, 1994, resulting
from the Company's change in fiscal year-end, the Company's
decision to consolidate large-crane manufacturing to a
single site resulted in a $14 million pre-tax charge to
earnings in the cranes and related products segment. The
charge included a $9.4 million write-down of the facility
being abandoned and estimated holding costs of $4.6 million
while the site is being marketed. The estimate for future
holding costs of the facility may change in the future.

The assets currently held for sale include land and
improvements, buildings, and certain machinery and equipment
at the "Peninsula facility" located in Manitowoc,
Wisconsin. The current carrying value of these assets,
determined through independent appraisals, is approximately
$3 million and is included in other assets. The future
holding costs, included in accounts payable and accrued
expenses and in other non-current liabilities, consist
primarily of utilities, security, maintenance, property
taxes, insurance, and demolition costs for various
buildings. Future holding costs also include estimates for
various environmental studies on the Peninsula location. To
date, $1.5 million has been paid and charged against these
reserves, including $0.9 million during the nine months
ended September 30, 1996. There were no payments charged
against the reserve during the third quarter of 1996.

Note 5.

On December 1, 1995, the Company completed the purchase of
the outstanding common stock of The Shannon Group, Inc.
("Shannon"). Shannon is a manufacturer of commercial
refrigerators, freezers and related products, ranging from
small under-counter units to 300,000 square foot
refrigerated warehouses. Among its wide range of products,
Shannon is best known for its foamed-in-place walk-in
refrigeration units, wood rail walk-in units, refrigerated
food-prep tables, reach-in refrigerator/freezers and modular
refrigeration systems.

The aggregate consideration paid by the Company for Shannon
was $127.0 million, which is net of cash acquired of $0.7
million, and which includes an amount due to a seller of
$19.8 million which was paid in January, 1996, direct
acquisition costs of $2.7 million, and other assumed
liabilities of $1.3 million. The transaction was financed
through credit facilities provided under a Credit Agreement
dated December 1, 1995.

The acquisition has been recorded using the purchase method
of accounting. The cost of the acquisition has been
allocated on the basis of the estimated fair value of the
assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. The
preliminary estimate of the excess of the cost over the fair
value of net assets acquired is $88.3 million, and is being
amortized over 32 years. The results of operations since
the date of acquisition are included in the Consolidated
Statements of Earnings.

Note 6.
On June 14, 1996, the company announced a three-for-two
stock split in the form of a 50-percent stock dividend which
was effective July 2 to shareholders of record on June 25.
Adjusting for the split, the company now has approximately
11.5 million shares outstanding. As a result of the stock
split, all earnings and dividend per share amounts and
average shares outstanding, appearing herein, have been
retroactively adjusted to give effect of the stock split.

Note 7.
Certain reclassifications have been made to the financial
statements of prior years to conform to the presentation for
1996.

</TABLE>

Net sales for the quarter ended September 30, 1996, were $132.0
million, up 65% from $80.1 million for the third quarter of 1995. Net
earnings were $8.5 million, or 74 cents per share, compared with $3.6
million, equal to 31 cents per share, earned in the third quarter of
1995, an increase of 137%. This represents the fourth consecutive
quarter in which the company has shown an improvement in year-over-
year quarterly earnings.

For the first nine months, net sales increased 66% to $385.4 million
in 1996 from $231.5 million in 1995. Earnings for the same period in
1996 were double those of 1995 - $21.4 million and $1.86 per share,
compared with $10.7 million and 93 cents per share.

Cranes and related products sales for the third quarter increased 18%
over the same period last year. Operating earnings were $6.5 million
and $14.9 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 1996,
respectively, compared to quarterly earnings of $0.8 million and a
year-to-date loss of $1.0 million for 1995. Every unit within the
crane segment has contributed to the gain. In addition to continued
productivity improvements during the quarter, the crane segment
continues to benefit from the introduction of new crane models and a
good boom-truck market. As of September 30, 1996, the backlog of
unfilled crane segment orders stood at a record $145 million.

Sales and operating earnings for the foodservice products segment were
$67.2 million and $10.9 million, respectively, for the third quarter
of 1996, compared to $29.8 million and $6.8 million for 1995. The
gain in sales was due largely to the addition of refrigeration
equipment sales by the Kolpak, Tonka and McCall units. Comparable ice
machine and reach-in sales by Manitowoc Equipment Works (MEW) were 5%
higher than those of the third quarter in 1995. The on-going
introduction of the first CFC-free ice cube machines bodes well for
continuing the recent gains in market share. 1996 year-to-date sales
and earnings were $187.3 million and $29.2 million, respectively,
versus $85.3 million and $18.9 million, respectively, for the nine
months ended September 30, 1996.

Third quarter sales in the Marine segment were $10.9 million, compared
with $4.5 million recorded during the third quarter last year. Keying
this quarter's earnings was a self-unloading cement barge which was
delivered at a better margin than originally forecast. Earnings for
the quarter stood at $1.4 million compared to an operating loss of
$0.3 million during the same period last year. In addition, shipping
activity on the Great Lakes continues at a high level, which is a
positive indicator for this part of the business.

The company continues to generate strong positive cash flow. At the
end of the quarter, the company had no revolving debt against its
credit lines. Indebtedness under the six-year term facility stood at
$111 million, including the current portion. During the quarter, the
total indebtedness decreased by $10 million.


Financial Condition at September 30, 1996
- ------------------------------------------

The Company's financial condition remains strong. Cash and marketable
securities of $29.4 million and future cash flows from operations are
adequate to meet the Company's liquidity requirements for the
foreseeable future, including payments for long-term debt, costs
associated with the plant consolidation, and capital expenditures.

This Management's Discussion and Analysis, as well as certain other
parts of this Report on Form 10-Q, contain forward looking statements
that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Such statements are
based on management's current expectations. The company cautions that
such statements are further qualified by important factors that could
cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward
looking statements.
