    A little Belgium blue in the US

    Wouldn't surprise me at all! Mammoet could easily move in and take over, would it be a good thing? I guess we'll just have to wait and see. I read that Sarens is going to be opening a Heavy Haul/Heavy Lift/Rigging yard in Texas, so it wouldn't surprise me that Sarens saw the potential in...
