18. Restructuring

 

In the fourth quarter of 2008, the company committed to a restructuring plan to reduce the cost structure of its French and Portuguese crane facilities and recorded a restructuring expense of $21.7 million to establish a reserve for future involuntary employee terminations and related costs.  The restructuring plan was primarily meant to better align the company’s resources due to the accelerated decline in demand in Western and Southern Europe where market conditions have negatively impacted the company’s tower crane product sales.  As a result of the continued worldwide decline in crane sales during the year ended December 31, 2009, the company recorded an additional $29.0 million in restructuring charges to further reduce the Crane segment cost structure in all regions.  The restructuring plans will reduce the Crane segment workforce by approximately 40% of 2008 year-end levels.  As of September 30, 2011, $49.2 million of benefit payments had been made with respect to the workforce reductions.
