18. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is subject to various legal proceedings and claims that have arisen in the ordinary course of business which have not been fully resolved. The outcome of any litigation is inherently uncertain. When a loss related to a legal proceeding or claim is probable and reasonably estimable, the Company accrues its best estimate for the ultimate resolution of the matter.

As of September 30, 2025, various product-related lawsuits were pending. To the extent permitted under applicable law, all of these lawsuits are insured with self-insurance retention levels. The Company’s self-insurance retention levels vary by business and have fluctuated over the last 10 years. As of September 30, 2025, the largest self-insured retention level for new occurrences currently maintained by the Company is $3.0 million per occurrence and applies to product liability claims arising in North America.

As of September 30, 2025, current and long-term product liability reserves were $1.7 million and $7.1 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2024, current and long-term product liability reserves were $1.4 million and $5.0 million, respectively. Current product liability reserves are included within other liabilities and long-term product liability reserves are included within other non-current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. These amounts are not reduced for insurance recoveries for claims above the Company's self-insured retention level. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had zero estimated insurance recoveries included in other current assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Reserves for product-related lawsuits were estimated using a combination of actual case reserves and actuarial methods. Based on the Company’s experience in defending product liability claims, management believes the reserves are adequate for estimated case resolutions on aggregate self-insured claims and insured claims. Any recoveries from insurance carriers are dependent upon the legal sufficiency of claims and solvency of insurance carriers.

On March 28, 2025, the federal district court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin entered a Consent Decree between the Company and the United States regarding alleged violations of the Transition Program for Equipment Manufacturers (“TPEM program”) relating to the sales of cranes manufactured between January 1, 2014 and July 31, 2017. Pursuant to the Consent Decree, the Company has paid a civil penalty of $42.6 million (plus interest of $0.6 million), and is implementing an emissions mitigation project upgrading a short-line locomotive engine in Maryland. Completion of the terms in the Consent Decree will settle this matter and release the Company from civil claims under the Clean Air Act related to the Company’s participation in the TPEM program. As of September 30, 2025, the Company has accrued $1.2 million related to the emissions mitigation project within accounts payable and accrued expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
