Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Note 3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The summary of significant accounting policies of Manitex International, Inc. is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management who is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements. Cash and Cash Equivalents —For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all short-term securities purchased with maturity dates of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Revenue Recognition —Revenue and related costs are recognized when title passes and risk of loss pass to our customers which generally occurs upon shipment depending upon the terms of the contract. Under certain contracts with our customers title passes to the customers when the units are completed. The units are segregated from our inventory and identified as belonging to the customer, the customer is notified that the units are complete and awaiting pick up or delivery as specified by the customer before income is recognized. Additionally, the customer is requested to sign an “Invoice Authorization Form” which acknowledges the contract terms and acknowledges that the customer has economic ownership and control over the unit. It also acknowledges that we are going to invoice the unit per terms of the contract. The Company insures any custodial risk that it may retain. For FOB contracts, customers may be invoiced prior to the time customers take physical possession. Revenue is recognized in such cases only when the customer has a fixed commitment to purchase the units, the units have been completed, tested and made available to the customer for pickup or delivery, and the customer has authorized in writing that we hold the units for pickup or delivery at a time specified by the customer. In such cases, the units are invoiced under our customary billing terms, title to the units and risks of ownership pass to the customer upon invoicing, the units are segregated from our inventory and identified as belonging to the customer and we have no further obligations under the order. The Company insures any custodial risk that it may retain. In addition, our policy requires in all instances certain minimum criteria be met in order to recognize revenue, specifically: a) Persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists; b) The price to the buyer is fixed or determinable; c) Collectability is reasonably assured; and d) We have no significant obligations for future performance. Investment—Equity Method of Accounting —Our non-marketable equity investments are investments we have made in privately-held companies accounted for under the equity method. We periodically review our non-marketable equity investments for impairment. No impairments were recognized for the year ended December 31, 2015. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts —The Company has adopted a policy consistent with U.S. GAAP for the periodic review of its accounts receivable to determine whether the establishment of an allowance for doubtful accounts is warranted based on the Company’s assessment of the collectability of the accounts. The Company established an allowance for bad debt of $240 and $458 at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The Company also has in some instances a security interest in its accounts receivable until payment is received. Property, Equipment and Depreciation —Property and equipment are stated at cost or the fair market value at date of acquisition for property and equipment acquired in connection with the acquisition of a company. Depreciation of property and equipment is provided over the following useful lives: Asset Category Depreciable Buildings 20 –33 years Machinery and equipment 1 – 15 years Furniture and fixtures 3 – 12 years Leasehold improvements 1.5 Expenditures for major renewals and betterments that extend the useful lives of property and equipment are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 was $5,055, Other Intangible Assets —The Company accounts for Other Intangible Assets under the guidance of ASC 350, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other”. The Company capitalizes certain costs related to patent technology. Additionally, a substantial portion of the purchase price related to the Company’s acquisitions has been assigned to patents or unpatented technology, trade name, customer backlog, and customer relationships. Under the guidance, Other Intangible Assets with definite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives. Intangible assets with indefinite lives are tested annually for impairment. Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level (reportable segment). The Company’s three operating segments comprise the reporting units for goodwill impairment testing purposes. Under ASU 2011-08, entities are provided with the option of first performing a qualitative assessment on none, some, or all of its reporting units to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If after completing a qualitative analysis, it is determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value a quantitative analysis is required. In 2015 and 2014, the Company elected to evaluate the Lifting Equipment and Equipment Distribution reporting unit’s goodwill using the quantitative two step approach. Additionally, in 2015 the Company evaluated ASV’s goodwill using the quantitative approach. The first step used to identify potential impairment involves comparing the reporting unit’s estimated fair value to its carrying value, including goodwill. The aforementioned step one quantitative tests did not indicate impairment. During the first step testing, the Company evaluated goodwill for impairment using a business valuation method, which is calculated as of a measurement date by determining the present value of debt-free, after-tax projected future cash flows, discounted at the weighted average cost of capital of a hypothetical third party buyer. The market approach was also considered in evaluating the potential for impairment by calculating fair value based on multiples of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) of comparable, publicly traded companies. This analysis also did not indicate impairment. The estimated fair values of the Lifting Equipment and ASV reporting segments were within 10% of their carrying values. The fair value of the Equipment Distribution segment exceeded its carrying value by slightly more than 10%. Moreover, the Company also observed implied EBITDA multiples from relatively recent merger and acquisition activity in the industry, which was used to test the reasonableness of the results. The second step of the process involves the calculation of an implied fair value of goodwill for each reporting unit for which step one indicated impairment. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined by measuring the excess of the estimated fair value of the reporting unit over the estimated fair values of the individual assets, liabilities and identifiable intangibles as if the reporting unit was being acquired in a business combination. If the implied fair value of goodwill exceeds the carrying value of goodwill assigned to the reporting unit, there is no impairment. If the carrying value of goodwill assigned to a reporting unit exceeds the implied fair value of the goodwill, an impairment charge is recorded for the excess. An impairment loss cannot exceed the carrying value of goodwill assigned to a reporting unit and the subsequent reversal of goodwill impairment losses is not permitted. The determination of fair value requires the Company to make significant estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions primarily include, but are not limited to, revenue growth and operating earnings projections, discount rates, terminal growth rates, and required capital expenditure projections. . Our projections make certain assumptions including expanding PM market share in North America, a normalization of energy markets over time and a continued expansion of dealer networks, particularly for ASV. If our progress in meeting these and other assumptions is slower or different than what was anticipated, it may impact our ability to meet the projections. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making these estimates, actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Deterioration in the market or actual results as compared with the projections (including not meeting near term projections) may result in an impairment in the near term. In the event, the Company determines that goodwill is impaired in the future the Company would need to recognize a non-cash impairment charge. For 2013, the Company determined on a qualitative basis, that it was not more likely than not that the fair value of the Lifting reporting unit was less than its carrying value. For 2013, the Company also determined on a qualitative basis, that it was not more likely than not that the fair value of the Equipment Distribution reporting unit was less than its carrying value. The Company did not have any impairment for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013. Impairment of Long Lived Assets —The Company’s policy is to assess the realizability of its long-lived assets, including intangible assets, and to evaluate such assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets (or group of assets) may not be recoverable. Impairment is determined to exist if the estimated future undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value. Future cash flow projections include assumptions for future sales levels, the impact of cost reduction programs, and the level of working capital needed to support each business. The amount of any impairment then recognized would be calculated as the difference between estimated fair value and the carrying value of the asset. The Company did not have any impairment for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013. Inventory —Inventory consists of stock materials and equipment stated at the lower of cost (first in, first out) or market. All equipment classified as inventory is available for sale. The company records excess and obsolete inventory reserves. The estimated reserve is based upon specific identification of excess or obsolete inventories. Selling, general and administrative expenses are expensed as incurred and are not capitalized as a component of inventory. Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions —The financial statements of the Company’s non-U.S. subsidiaries are translated using the current exchange rate for assets and liabilities and the weighted-average exchange rate for the year for income and expense items. Resulting translation adjustments are recorded to accumulated other comprehensive income (OCI) as a component of shareholders’ equity. The Company converts receivables and payables denominated in other than the Company’s functional currency at the exchange rate as of the balance sheet date. The resulting transaction exchange gains or losses, except for certain transaction gains or loss related to intercompany receivable and payables, are included in other income and expense. Transaction gains and losses related to intercompany receivables and payables not anticipated to be settled in the foreseeable future are excluded from the determination of net income and are recorded as a translation adjustment (with consideration to the tax effect) to accumulated other comprehensive income (OCI) as a component of shareholders’ equity. Derivatives—Forward Currency Exchange Contracts —The Company enters into forward currency exchange contracts in relationship such that the exchange gains and losses on the assets and liabilities denominated in other than the reporting units’ functional currency would be offset by the changes in the market value of the forward currency exchange contracts it holds. The forward currency exchange contracts that the Company has to offset existing assets and liabilities denominated in other than the reporting units’ functional currency have been determined not to be considered a hedge under ASC 815-10. The Company records at the balance sheet date the forward currency exchange contracts at its market value with any associated gain or loss being recorded in current earnings. Both realized and unrealized gains and losses related to forward currency contracts are included in current earnings and are reflected in the Statement of Operations in the other income expense section on the line titled foreign currency transaction gain (loss). The Company has entered into forward currency contracts to hedge certain future U.S. dollar sales of its Canadian Subsidiary. The forward currency contracts to hedge future sales are designated as cash flow hedges under ASC 815-10. As required, forward currency contracts are recognized as an asset or liability at fair value on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative is reported as a component of other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings (date of sale). Gains or losses on cash flow hedges when recognized into income are included in net revenues (see Note 6). Interest Rate Swap Contracts —The Company enters into derivative instruments to manage its exposure to interest rate risk related to certain foreign term loans. Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value at the date the contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at the end of each reporting period. The resulting gain or loss is recognized in current earnings immediately unless the derivative is designated and effective as a hedging instrument, in which case the effective portion of the gain or loss is recognized and is reported as a component of other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedging instrument affects earnings (date of sale). As part of the acquisition of PM Group, which was acquired on January 15, 2015, the Company acquired interest rate swap contracts, which manage the exposure to interest rate risk related to term loans with certain financial institutions in Italy. These contracts have been determined not to be hedge instruments under ASC 815-10. Credit Risk Concentrations —Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, trade receivables and payables. The Company maintains its cash balances and marketable securities at banks located in Detroit, Michigan, New York, New York, Toronto, Canada as well as several separate Italian banks. Accounts in the United States are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250. At December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company had uninsured balances of $4,120 and $5,814, respectively. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, no customers accounted for 10% or more of total Company’s accounts receivable. In 2015, 2014 and 2013, no one customer accounted for 10% or more of total company’s revenues. Research and Development Expenses — The Company expenses research and development costs, as incurred. For the periods ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 expenses were $5,829, $2,093 and $2,308, respectively. Advertising —Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and were $953, $455 and $616 for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Retirement Benefit Costs and Termination Benefits — Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit plans are recognized as an expense when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions. For defined benefit retirement benefit plans, the cost of providing benefits is determined using the projected unit credit method, with actuarial valuations being carried out at the end of each annual reporting period. Remeasurement, comprising actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the changes to the asset ceiling (if applicable) and the return on plan assets (excluding interest), is reflected immediately in the statement of financial position with a charge or credit recognized in other comprehensive income in the period in which they occur. Remeasurement recognized in other comprehensive income is reflected immediately in retained earnings and will not be reclassified to profit or loss. Past service cost is recognized in profit or loss in the period of a plan amendment. Net interest is calculated by applying the discount rate at the beginning of the period to the net defined benefit liability or asset. Defined benefit costs are categorized as follows: · service cost (including current service cost, past service cost, as well as gains and losses on curtailments and settlements); · net interest expense or income; and · remeasurement. Curtailment gains and losses are accounted for as past service costs. The retirement benefit obligation recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position represents the actual deficit or surplus in PM Group’s defined benefit plans. Any surplus resulting from this calculation is limited to the present value of any economic benefits available in the form of refunds from the plans or reductions in future contributions to the plans. A liability for a termination benefit is recognized at the earlier of when the entity can no longer withdraw the offer of the termination benefit and when the entity recognizes any related restructuring costs. Litigation Claims —In determining whether liabilities should be recorded for pending litigation claims, the Company must assess the allegations and the likelihood that it will successfully defend itself. When the Company believes it is probable that it will not prevail in a particular matter, it will then record an estimate of the amount of liability based, in part, on advice of outside legal counsel. Shipping and Handling —The Company records the amount of shipping and handling costs billed to customers as revenue. The cost incurred for shipping and handling is included in the cost of sales. Use of Estimates —The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates . Income Taxes —The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of ASC 740 “ Income Taxes,” which requires recognition of income taxes based on amounts payable with respect to the current year and the effects of deferred taxes for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the Company’s financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial accounting and tax basis of assets and liabilities, as well as for operating losses and tax credit carryforwards using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not a tax benefit will not be realized. ASC 740 also prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, as well as guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income prior to the expiration of any net operating loss carryforwards. See Note 14, Income Taxes, for further details . Accrued Warranties —Warranty costs are accrued at the time revenue is recognized. The Company’s products are typically sold with a warranty covering defects that arise during a fixed period of time. The specific warranty offered is a function of customer expectations and competitive forces. The Equipment Distribution segment does not accrue for warranty costs at the time of sales, as they are reimbursed by the manufacturers for any warranty that they provide to their customers. A liability for estimated warranty claims is accrued at the time of sale. The liability is established using historical warranty claim experience. Historical warranty experience is, however, reviewed by management. The current provision may be adjusted to take into account unusual or non-recurring events in the past or anticipated changes in future warranty claims. Adjustments to the initial warranty accrual are recorded if actual claim experience indicates that adjustments are necessary. Warranty reserves are reviewed to ensure critical assumptions are updated for known events that may impact the potential warranty liability. Debt Issuance Costs —Debt issuance costs incurred in securing the Company’s financing arrangements are capitalized and amortized over the term of the associated debt. Deferred financing cost are included with other long-term assets on the Company’s balance sheet. Sale and Leaseback —In accordance with ASC 840-40 Sales-Leaseback Transactions, the Company has recorded deferred revenue in relationship to the sale and leaseback of one of the Company’s operating facilities and on certain equipment. As such, the deferred gains have been deferred and is being amortized on a straight line basis over the life of the leases. Computation of EPS —Basic Earnings per Share (“EPS”) was computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The number of shares related to options, warrants, restricted stock, convertible debt and similar instruments included in diluted EPS (“EPS”) is based on the “Treasury Stock Method” prescribed in ASC 260-10, Earnings per Share. This method assumes theoretical repurchase of shares using proceeds of the respective stock option or warrant exercised, and for restricted stock the amount of compensation cost attributed to future services which has not yet been recognized and the amount of current and deferred tax benefit, if any, that would be credited to additional paid in capital upon the vesting of the restricted stock, at a price equal to the issuer’s average stock price during the related earnings period. Accordingly, the number of shares includable in the calculation of EPS in respect of the stock options, warrants, restricted stock, convertible debt and similar instruments is dependent on this average stock price and will increase as the average stock price increases. Stock Based Compensation —In accordance with ASC 718 Compensation-Stock Compensation, share-based payments to employees, including grants of restricted stock units, are measured at fair value as of the date of grant and are expensed in the consolidated statement of income over the service period (generally the vesting period). Comprehensive Income —“Reporting Comprehensive Income” requires reporting and displaying comprehensive income and its components. Comprehensive income includes, in addition to net earnings, other items that are reported as direct adjustments to shareholder’s equity. Currently, the comprehensive income adjustment required for the Company has two components. First is a foreign currency translation adjustment, the result of consolidating its foreign subsidiary. The second component is a derivative instrument fair market value adjustment (net of income taxes) related to forward currency contracts designated as a cash flow hedge. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative is reported as a component of other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings (date of sale). See Note 6 for additional details. Reclassifications —Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2014 and 2013 financial statements to conform to the 2015 presentation. Business Combinations —The Company accounts for acquisitions in accordance with guidance found in ASC 805, Business Combinations. The guidance requires consideration given, including contingent consideration, assets acquired and liabilities assumed to be valued at their fair market values at the acquisition date. The guidance further provides that: (1) in-process research and development will be recorded at fair value as an indefinite-lived intangible asset; (2) acquisition costs will generally be expensed as incurred, (3) restructuring costs associated with a business combination will generally be expensed subsequent to the acquisition date; and (4) changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowances and income tax uncertainties after the acquisition date generally will affect income tax expense. ASC 805 requires that any excess of purchase price over fair value of assets acquired, including identifiable intangibles and liabilities assumed be recognized as goodwill. In accordance with ASC 805, any excess of fair value of acquired net assets, including identifiable intangibles assets, over the acquisition consideration results in a bargain purchase gain. Prior to recording a gain, the acquiring entity must reassess whether all acquired assets and assumed liabilities have been identified and recognized and perform re-measurements to verify that the consideration paid, assets acquired and liabilities assumed have been properly valued.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	Note 5. Fair Value Measurements The following tables set forth the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 by level within the fair value hierarchy. As required by ASC 820-10, financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The following is a summary of items that the Company measures at fair value on a recurring basis: Fair Value at December 31, 2015 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets: Forward currency exchange contracts $ — $ 600 $ — $ 600 Total current assets at fair value $ — $ 600 $ — $ 600 Liabilities: Forward currency exchange contracts $ — $ 74 $ — $ 74 Interest rate swap contracts — 1,177 — 1,177 PM contingent liabilities — — 1,187 1,187 Convertible debt- Perella ( See Note 13) (nonrecurring) — 14,286 — 14,286 Valla contingent consideration — — 199 199 Total liabilities at fair value $ — $ 15,537 $ 1,386 $ 16,923 Fair Value at December 31, 2014 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets: Forward currency exchange contracts $ — $ 268 $ — $ 268 Total current assets at fair value $ — $ 268 $ — $ 268 Liabilities: Forward currency exchange contracts $ — $ 29 $ — $ 29 Convertible debt- Terex ( See Note 13) (nonrecurring) — 6,607 — 6,607 Valla contingent consideration — — 204 204 Total liabilities at fair value $ — $ 6,636 $ 204 $ 6,840 The carrying value of the amounts reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheets for cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and short-term variable debt, including any amounts outstanding under the Company’s revolving credit facilities and working capital borrowing, approximate fair value due to the short periods during which these amounts are outstanding. The book and fair value of the Company’s term debt was $79,912 and $79,912 for the year ended December 31, 2015, and $42,266 and $42,074 for the year ending December 31, 2014. The book and fair value of the Company’s capital leases was $6,854 and $9,214 for the year ended December 31, 2015 and $4,341 and $4,960 for the year ending December 31, 2014. There is no difference between the book value and the fair value for amount recorded in connection with a long-term legal settlement, which was $960 and $1,007 for the periods ending December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Fair Value Measurements ASC 820-10 classifies the inputs used to measure fair value into the following hierarchy: Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities; Level 2 - Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs which are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and Level 3 - Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported by little or no market activity) Fair value of the forward currency contracts are determined on the last day of each reporting period using observable inputs, which are supplied to the Company by the foreign currency trading operation of its bank and are Level 2 items.

Derivative Instruments And Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Derivative Financial Instruments	Note 6. Derivative Financial Instruments ASC 815-10 requires enhanced disclosures regarding an entity’s derivative and hedging activities as provided below. The Company’s risk management objective is to use the most efficient and effective methods available to us to minimize, eliminate, reduce or transfer the risks which are associated with fluctuation of exchange rates between the Canadian and U.S. dollar and the Euro and the U.S. dollar. When the Company’s Canadian subsidiary receives a significant new U.S. dollar order, management will evaluate different options that may be available to mitigate future currency exchange risks. The decision to hedge future sales is not automatic and is decided case by case. The Company will only use hedge instruments to hedge firm existing sales orders and not estimated exposure, when management determines that exchange risks exceeds desired risk tolerance levels. The forward currency contracts used to hedge future sales are designated as cash flow hedges under ASC 815-10 provided certain criteria are met. The Company enters into forward currency exchange contracts to the extent possible in relationship such that the exchange gains and losses on the assets and liabilities denominated in other than the reporting units’ functional currency would be offset by the changes in the market value of the forward currency exchange contracts it holds. The forward currency exchange contracts that the Company has to offset existing assets and liabilities denominated in other than the reporting units’ functional currency have been determined not to be considered a hedge under ASC 815-10. Items denominated in other than a reporting units functional currency includes U.S. denominated accounts receivables and accounts payable held by our Canadian subsidiary and certain intercompany receivables and payables between foreign subsidiaries and the Company, one of the Company’s other subsidiaries or subsidiary of the PM Group. As required, forward currency contracts are recognized as an asset or liability at fair value on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative is reported as a component of other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings (date of sale). Gains or losses on cash flow hedges when recognized into income are included in net revenues. Gains and losses on the derivative instruments representing either hedge ineffectiveness or hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are recognized in current earnings. The Company expects minimal ineffectiveness as the Company has hedged only firm sales orders and has not hedged estimated exposures. As of December 31, 2015, the Company had no outstanding forward currency contracts that were in place to hedge future sales. Therefore, there are currently no unrealized pre-tax gains or loss which will reclassified from other comprehensive income into earnings during the next 12 months. For instruments not qualifying as cash flow hedges under ASC 815—10, the Company records at the balance sheet date the forward currency exchange contracts at its market value with any associated gain or loss being recorded in current earnings. Both realized and unrealized gains and losses related to forward currency contracts are included in current earnings and are reflected in the Statement of Income in the other income expense section on the line titled foreign currency transaction gains (losses). At December 31, 2015, the Company had entered into forward currency exchange contracts. The contracts obligate the Company to purchase CDN $5,602. The contracts mature between March 3, 2016 and March 31, 2016. Under the contract, the Company will purchase Canadian dollars at exchange rates between .7211 and .7516. The Canadian to US dollar exchange rates was $.7225 at December 31, 2015. At December 31, 2015, the Company had forward currency contracts to sell Euros. The contracts obligate the Company to sell €1,300 in total. The contracts, which are in various amounts, mature between February 10, 2016 and July 1, 2016. Under the contracts, the Company will sell Euros at exchange rates between $1.1419 and $1.4307. The Euro to US dollar exchange rate was 1.0859 at December 31, 2015. The unrealized currency exchange asset is reported under prepaid expense and other if it is an asset or under accrued expenses if it is a liability on the balance sheet at December 31, 2015 and 2014. The Company’s PM Group has an intercompany receivable denominated in Euros from its Chilean subsidiary. At December 31, 2015, the Company has entered into two forward contracts that mature on January 6, 2016. The purpose of which is to mitigate the income effect related to this intercompany receivable that results with a change in exchange rate between the Euro and the Chilean peso. The first contract obligates the Company to purchase €2,600 at $1.148. The second contract obliges the Company to sell 1,840,000 Chilean pesos at an exchange rate of 616.4567 per U.S. dollar. These two contracts achieve the desired purpose as U.S. dollar amounts involved in the two forward contracts offset each other. Interest Rate Swap Contracts The Company uses financial instruments available on the market, including derivatives, solely to minimize its cost of borrowing and hedge the risk of interest rate and exchange rate fluctuation. In January 2009, prior to the January 15, 2015 acquisition date, PM Group entered into the following contracts in order to hedge the interest rate risk related to its term loans with two financial institutions: A contract signed by PM Group, for an original notional amount of € 20,000 (€ 20,000 at December 31, 2015, maturing on February 3, 2017 with interest payable every February 3 and August 3 each year. PM Group pays interest at a rate of 3.48% and receives from the counterparties interest at the Euro Interbank Offered Rate (“Euribor”) for the period in question. A contract signed by PM Group, for an original notional amount of € 8,496 (€ 739 at December 31, 2015), maturing on January 29, 2016 with interest payable every January 30 and July 30 each year. PM Group pays interest at a rate of 2.99% and receives from the counterparties interest at the Euribor rate for the period in question. As of December 31, 2015, the Company had the following forward currency contracts and interest rate swaps: Nature of Derivative Currency Amount Type Forward currency purchase contract Canadian dollar 5,602 Not designated as hedge instrument Forward currency sales contracts Euro 1,300 Not designated as hedge instrument Forward currency purchase contract Euro 2,600 Not designated as hedge instrument Forward currency sales contracts Chilean peso 1,840,000 Not designated as hedge instrument Interest rate swap contracts Euro 20,739 Not designated as hedge instrument The following table provides the location and fair value amounts of derivative instruments that are reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2015 and 2014: Total derivatives not designated as a hedge instrument Fair Value Asset Derivatives Balance Sheet Location December 31, 2015 December 31, 2014 Foreign currency Exchange Contract Prepaid $ 600 $ 268 Liabilities Derivatives Foreign currency Exchange Contract Accrued expense $ 74 $ 29 Interest rate swap contracts Notes payable 1,177 — Total derivative liabilities $ 1,251 $ 29 The following tables provide the effect of derivative instruments on the Consolidated Statement of Income for 2015, 2014 and 2013: Derivatives not designated as Hedge Instrument Location of gain or (loss) recognized in Income Statement Gain or (loss) 2015 2014 2013 Forward currency contracts Foreign currency transaction gains (losses) $ (35 ) $ 110 $ (178 ) Interest rate swap contracts Interest expense $ (56 ) — — Total derivatives (loss) gain $ (91 ) $ 110 $ (178 ) Derivatives designated as Hedge Instrument Location of gain or (loss) recognized in Income Statement Gain or (loss) 2015 2014 2013 Forward currency contracts Net revenue $ — $ (26 ) $ (30 ) The following table shows the beginning and ending amounts of gains and losses related to hedges which have been included in Other Comprehensive Income and related activity net of income taxes for December 31, 2015 and 2014: December 31, 2015 December 31, 2014 Beginning balance (loss), net of income taxes $ — $ (7 ) Amounts recorded in OCI net of (loss), net of income taxes — (11 ) Amount reclassified to income, loss (gain), net of income taxes — 18 Ending balance gain (loss), net of income taxes $ — $ —

Leases [Abstract]
Leases	Note 12. Leases Capital leases Georgetown facility As of September 1, 2015, the lease for the Georgetown facility was amended and extended. Under the Amendment, the initial monthly rental decreased from $76 to $62 and the lease term was extended to April 30, 2028. Commencing on September 1, 2016, and each subsequent September 1 during the term of the lease, rent will increase by 3%. It was determined that the lease is a capital lease. The present value of the future minimum lease payments (including the annual increase) was determined using a 12.5% discount rate (the discount rate used to record the original lease which was signed in April 2006). The net present value of minimum lease payments at September 1, 2015 was determined to be $5,423. As of September 1, 2015, the remaining capital lease obligation (associated with original lease) was increased by approximately $3,607 so the capital lease obligation associated Georgetown facility would equal to $5,423. The building value was also increased by a corresponding amount. Finally, accumulated depreciation related to the building at August 31, 2015 was retired with the offset going against building. The lease has been classified as a capital lease. At December 31, 2015, the outstanding capital lease obligation is $5,399. Winona facility The Company had a five year lease which expired on July 10, 2014 that provides for monthly lease payments of $25 for its Winona, Minnesota facility. The Company has an option to purchase the facility for $500 by giving notice to the landlord of its intent to purchase the Facility. The Landlord must receive such notice at least three months prior to end of the Lease term. The Company gave the Landlord the required notice of its election to purchase the facility. The Company and the Landlord are currently in the process of finalizing the purchase contract. The purchase of the facility is expected to be completed during 2016. At December 31, 2015, the Company has outstanding capital lease obligation of $500, the amount of the purchase option. Equipment The Company has entered into a lease agreement with a bank pursuant to which the Company is permitted to borrow 100% of the cost of new equipment and 75% of the cost of used equipment with 60 and 36 months repayment periods, respectively. At the conclusion of the lease period, for each piece of equipment the Company is required to purchase that piece of leased equipment for one dollar. The equipment, which is acquired in ordinary course of the Company’s business, is available for sales and rental prior to sale. Under the lease agreement the Company can elect to exercise an early buyout option at any time, and pay the bank the present value of the remaining rental payments discounted by a specified Index Rate established at the time of leasing. The early buyout option results in a prepayment penalty which progressively decreases during the term of the lease. Alternatively, the Company under the like-kind provisions in the agreement can elect to replace or substitute different equipment in place of equipment subject to the early buyout without incurring a penalty. The following is a summary of inventory held for sale which was financed under equipment capital lease agreements: Amount Borrowed Repayment Period Amount of Monthly Payment Balance As of December 31, 2015 New equipment $ 1,166 60 $ 22 $ 752 Used equipment 1,754 36 25 126 Total $ 2,920 $ 47 $ 878 The Company has two additional capital leases.

Debt Disclosure [Abstract]
Convertible Notes	Note 13. Convertible Notes Related Party On December 19, 2014, the Company issued a subordinated convertible debenture with a $7,500 face amount payable to Terex, a related party. The convertible debenture is subordinated, carries a 5% per annum coupon, and is convertible into Company common stock at a conversion price of $13.65 per share or a total of 549,451 shares, subject to customary adjustment provisions. The debenture has a December 19, 2020 maturity date. From and after the third anniversary of the original issuance date, the Company may redeem the convertible debenture in full (but not in part) at any time that the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock equals at least 130% of the Conversion Price (as defined in the debenture) for at least 20 of any 30 consecutive trading days. Following an election by the holder to convert the debenture into common stock of the Company in accordance with the terms of the debenture, the Company has the discretion to deliver to the holder either (i) shares of common stock, (ii) a cash payment, or (iii) a combination of cash and stock. In accounting for the issuance of the note, the Company separated the note into liability and equity components. The carrying amount of the liability component was calculated by measuring the estimated fair value of a similar liability that does not have an associated convertible feature. The carrying amount of the equity component representing the conversion option was determined by deducting the fair value of the liability component from the face value of the Note as a whole. The excess of the principal amount of the liability component over its carrying amount (“debt discount”) is amortized to interest expense over the term of the note using the effective interest method with an effective interest rate of 7.5 percent per annum. The equity component is not remeasured as long as it continues to meet the conditions for equity classification. On December 19, 2014, the components of the note was as follows: Liability component $ 6,607 Equity component (a component of paid in capital) 893 $ 7,500 Additionally in connection with the transaction a $321 deferred tax liability was established and was recorded as a deduction to paid in capital. The deferred tax liability was recognized as the excess of the principal amount being amortized and charged to interest expenses is not tax deductible. As of December 31, 2015, the note had remaining principal balance of $6,737 and an unamortized discount of $763. The difference between this amount and the amount initially recorded represents $130 of discount amortization. Perella Notes On January 7, 2015, the Company entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (the “Perella Note Purchase Agreement”) with MI Convert Holdings LLC (which is owned by investment funds constituting part of the Perella Weinberg Partners Asset Based Value Strategy) and Invemed Associates LLC (together, the “Investors”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue $15,000 in aggregate principal amount of convertible notes due January 7, 2021 (the “Perella Notes”) to the Investors. The Notes are subordinated, carry a 6.50% per annum coupon, and are convertible, at the holder’s option, into shares of Company common stock, based on an initial conversion price of $15.00 per share, subject to customary adjustments. Following an election by the holder to convert the debenture into common stock of the Company in accordance with the terms of the debenture, the Company has the discretion to deliver to the holder either (i) shares of common stock, (ii) a cash payment, or (iii) a combination of cash and stock. Upon the occurrence of certain fundamental corporate changes, the Perella Notes are redeemable at the option of the holders of the Perella Notes. The Perella Notes are not redeemable at the Company’s option prior to the maturity date, and the payment of principal is subject to acceleration upon an event of default. The issuance of the Perella Notes by the Company was made in reliance upon the exemptions from registration provided by Rule 506 and Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. In connection with the issuance of the Perella Notes, on January 7, 2015, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the Investors (the “Registration Rights Agreement”). Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company has agreed to register the resale of the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Perella Notes. The Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3 to register the shares with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which was declared effective on February 23, 2015. In accounting for the issuance of the note, the Company separated the note into liability and equity components. The carrying amount of the liability component was calculated by measuring the estimated fair value of a similar liability that does not have an associated convertible feature. The carrying amount of the equity component representing the conversion option was determined by deducting the fair value of the liability component from the face value of the Note as a whole. The excess of the principal amount of the liability component over its carrying amount (“debt discount”) is amortized to interest expense over the term of the note using the effective interest method with an effective interest rate of 7.5 percent per annum. The equity component is not remeasured as long as it continues to meet the conditions for equity classification. On January 7, 2015, the components of the note were as follows: Liability component $ 14,286 Equity component (a component of paid in capital) 714 $ 15,000 Additionally in connection with the transaction a $257 deferred tax liability was established and was recorded as a deduction to paid in capital.

It is the Company’s intention to reinvest those earnings permanently. Generally, such amounts become subject to United States taxation upon remittance of dividends and under certain other circumstances. Determination of the amount of any unrecognized deferred tax liability related to investments in these foreign subsidiaries is not practicable. The effective tax rate before income taxes varies from the current U.S. federal statutory income tax rate as follows: Years ended December 31, 2015 2014 Statutory rate 35.00 % 35.00 % State and local taxes -0.80 % 1.27 % Permanent differences -0.71 % -2.20 % Tax credits 1.50 % -1.25 % Foreign operations -13.15 % 1.69 % Uncertain tax positions -1.04 % -0.18 % Other -5.41 % 1.13 % 15.39 % 35.46 % As of December 31, 2015, the Company has approximately $1,234 of Texas Temporary Margin Tax Credit that may be utilized through 2026.

The Company accrued interest of $20 during 2015 and in total, as of December 31, 2015, recognized a liability for interest of $37. The Company records accrued interest related to income tax matters in the provision for income taxes in the accompanying consolidated statement of income. Included in the unrecognized tax benefits is a liability for the PM Group’s potential IRES and IRAP (Italian Income Taxes) audit adjustments for the tax years 2009 – 2013. Depending upon the final resolution of the PM Group’s audit, the liability could be higher or lower than the amount recorded at December 31, 2015. As of December 31, 2015, we don’t anticipate a significant change in unrecognized tax benefits within 12 months of the reporting date. The Company files income tax returns in the United States, Canada and Italy as well as various state and local tax jurisdictions with varying statutes of limitations. With few exceptions, as of December 31, 2015, we are no longer subject to U.S. federal, state or foreign examinations by tax authorities for years before 2012. In connection with the acquisition, the Board of Directors of ASV, Inc. agreed a Plan of Conversion to convert ASV, Inc., a corporation into a Minnesota limited liability company. Under the plan, all of the issued and outstanding shares of ASV, Inc. were cancelled and an equal number of limited liability company membership interests were issued to the members of ASV LLC, on a one-for-one basis In connection with the conversion, ASV, Inc. had a taxable liability of $16.2 million. This tax liability was recorded on the opening balance sheet of ASV and paid during 2015. Since its conversion to an LLC, ASV has been treated as a partnership for tax purposes.

The Company suspended its discretionary matching contribution on February 15, 2009. On January 1, 2012, the Company again began to match participants’ contributions. The Company currently matches dollar for dollar participants’ contributions up to 3% of the participant’s income.

The amount paid in matching contributions by the company for 2015, 2014 and 2013 were $464, $346 and $271, respectively. The Company also sponsors a nonqualified Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (“SERP”) for a former senior executive. The SERP is unfunded. The Company accounts for this plan pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 710, “Compensation – General.” This guidance requires balance sheet recognition of the overfunded or underfunded status of the defined benefit plan. Actuarial gains and losses, prior service costs or credits, and any remaining transition assets or obligations that have not been recognized under previous accounting guidance must be recognized in the Statement of Income. The defined benefit obligation for this plan as of December 31, 2015 is $871, of which, $64 and $807 is reflected in “Accrued Other” and “Other Long-Term Liabilities”, respectively, on the balance sheet. The balance at December 31, 2014 was $994, of which, $64 and $840 was reflected in “Accrued Other” and “Other Long-Term Liabilities”, respectively.

Under Italian law, an entity is obligated to accrue for TFR on an individual employee basis payable to each individual upon termination of employment (including both voluntary and involuntary dismissal). The annual accrual is approximately 7% of total pay, with no ceiling, and is revalued each year by applying a pre-established rate of return of 1.50%, plus 75% of the Consumer Price Index, and is recorded by a book reserve. TFR is a plan unfunded. In October 2006, the Italian Government passed a law, effective January 1, 2007, which reformed the current TFR system, in which employees are given the ability to make choices as to the destination of the investment of the TFR compensation. In particular, the new change allowed the employee to direct the TFR funds to a chosen pension fund, such as an industry fund, an existing company pension plan, open funds, and individual insurance policies, subject to Company agreement. If no choice was made, the TFR allocations were made automatically to the default pension fund, which may be the industry wide fund, a specific employer-sponsored plan, or, absent of these alternatives, the employee’s contributions were invested into a “residual” pension fund managed by the National Social Insurance Institute (INPS). Each Employee had until June 30, 2007 to make a decision as to the destination of his TFR allocation.

Accrued Warranties	Note 17. Accrued Warranties A liability for estimated warranty claims is accrued at the time of sale. The liability is established using historical warranty claim experience. Historical warranty experience is, however, reviewed by management. The current provision may be adjusted to take into account unusual or non-recurring events in the past or anticipated changes in future warranty claims.

Business Combinations [Abstract]
Acquisition and Investment	Note 19. Acquisition and Investment PM Group On July 21, 2014 Manitex International, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a series of agreements to acquire PM S.p.A, (“PM Group”), a manufacturer of truck mounted cranes based in San Cesario sul Panaro, Modena, Italy. On January 15, 2015, the Company’s acquisition of PM closed. The fair value of the purchase consideration is shown below: Fair Value Euros Fair Value U.S. Dollars Cash € 17,142 $ 20,312 994,483 shares of common stock of Manitex International, Inc. 8,710 10,124 Total purchase consideration € 25,852 $ 30,436 Under the acquisition method of accounting, in accordance ASC 805, Business Combinations, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are valued based on their estimated fair values as of the date of the acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the aggregate estimated fair value of net assets acquired was allocated to goodwill. During the year ended December 31, 2015, it was stated that the purchase price allocation was preliminary and was subject to final review of certain items including inventory, accrual and receivable balances. During the year ended December 31, 2015, the purchase price allocation was adjusted. Adjustments for the following reasons to the previously reported provisional assets or liabilities were made. The adjustment had the following impact on goodwill: Adjustment to reduce the value of certain accounts receivables based on obtaining additional information $ 260 Eliminate value assigned to fixed assets determined not to exist at date of acquisition 392 Adjustments to deferred tax assets to reflect corrected value (1,187 ) Adjustment to assumed non-recourse debt to reflect (344 ) Net impact on goodwill $ (879 ) The balance sheet at January 15, 2015 was restated to reflect the above changes to PM Group purchase price allocations as follows: Account Provisional amounts recorded as of January 15, 2015 Adjustment to purchase price allocation Revised amount recorded as of January 15, 2015 Goodwill $ 31,052 $ (879 ) $ 30,173 Accounts receivable 22,475 (260 ) 22,215 Fixed assets 17,344 (392 ) 16,952 Deferred tax asset 9,680 1,187 10,867 Assumed non-recourse debt (62,197 ) 344 (61,853 ) The above adjustments are non-cash items and, therefore, do not have an impact on the Statement of Cash Flows for the period ended December 31, 2015. The following table summarizes the revised allocation of the PM Group acquisition consideration to the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition: Purchase price allocation: Cash invested in PM € 5,994 $ 6,965 Trade receivables 18,795 22,215 Inventory 20,088 23,743 Other receivables and prepaid expenses 3,746 4,428 Total fixed assets 14,342 16,952 Customer relationships 10,841 12,813 Trade name and trademarks 5,850 6,914 Patented & Unpatented Technology 7,657 9,050 Goodwill 25,528 30,173 Deferred net tax assets 9,195 10,867 Other long term assets 1,267 1,497 Accounts payable (22,020 ) (26,026 ) Accrued expenses (7,343 ) (8,679 ) Other current liabilities (1,188 ) (1,404 ) Deferred tax liability (11,595 ) (13,705 ) Other long term liabilities (2,973 ) (3,514 ) Assumed non-recourse debt (52,332 ) (61,853 ) Net assets acquired € 25,852 $ 30,436 Contingent Liability: In accordance with ASC 805, the acquirer is to recognize the acquisition date fair value of contingent liability. The Company entered into an Option Agreement with one of the PM Group senior banks under which the bank will sell to the Company PM debt with a face value of €5,000. Under the Option Agreement, the bank shall receive €2,500 if PM has 2017 EBITDA, as defined in the agreement, of between €14,500 and €16,500, and €5,000 if 2017 EBITDA exceeds €16,500. If 2017 EBITDA, as defined in the agreement, is less than €14,500, the bank is to sell the debt to the Company for €0.001. Given the disparity between the EBITDA threshold and the Company’s projected financial results, it was determined that a Monte Carlo simulation analysis was appropriate to determine the fair value of contingent consideration. It was determined that the probability weighted average payment is €1,093 or $1,270. Based thereon, we determined the fair value of the contingent liability to be €1,093 or $1,270. This amount is included in other long-term liabilities in the above table. Non-recourse PM debt: Under the transaction, PM remains obligated for the following debt: Term debt—interest bearing € 22,956 $ 27,133 Term debt—non-interest bearing 10,289 12,161 Fair market adjustment for non-interest bearing debt (1,460 ) (1,726 ) Working capital borrowings 18,827 22,252 Interest rate swap derivative contract 1,720 2,033 Total assumed non-recourse debt € 52,332 $ 61,853 Non-interest bearing debt : In connection with the acquisition, the Company assumed non-interest bearing debt of €10,289. The fair value of the non-interest bearing debt was determined to be €8,829 or $10,435. The fair value of the non-interest bearing debt was calculated to equal the present value of future debt payments discounted at a market rate of return commensurate with similar debt instruments with comparable levels of risk and marketability. A rate of 5.24% was determined to be the appropriate rate following an assessment of the risk inherent in the debt issued and the market rate for debt of this nature using corporate credit ratings. The interest rate swap derivative was valued at its fair value, which is based on quotes from a financial institution. Tangible assets and liabilities: The tangible assets and liabilities were valued at their respective carrying values by PM, except for certain adjustments necessary to state such amounts at their estimated fair values at the acquisition date. Significant fair market adjustments were made to decrease accounts receivable by $260, increase inventory by $911, decrease fixed assets by $4,699 and to decrease liabilities by $345. Intangible assets: There are three fundamental methods applied to value intangible assets outlined in FASB ASC 820. These methods include the Cost Approach, the Market Approach, and the Income Approach. Each of these valuation approaches were considered in our estimation of value. Trade names and trademarks, patented and unpatented technology: Valued using the Relief from Royalty method, a form of both the Market Approach and the Income Approach. Because the Company has established trade names and trademarks and has developed patented and unpatented technology, we estimated the benefit of ownership as the relief from the royalty expense that would need to be incurred in absence of ownership. Customer relationships: Because there is a specific earnings stream that can be associated with customer relationships, we determined the fair value of these relationships based on the excess earnings method, a form of the Income Approach. Goodwill: Goodwill represents the excess of total consideration paid and the fair value of net assets acquired. The recognition of goodwill of $30,173 reflects the inherent value in the PM reputation, which has been built since being founded in 1959 and the prospects for significant future earnings. In calculating the Company’s deferred tax liabilities the fact that goodwill is not deductible was considered. Acquisition transaction costs: Cost and expenses related to the acquisition have been expensed as incurred and recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses. The Company incurred fees of $194 for legal services, $750 for acquisition related bonus payments, $347 for accounting services in connection with the prior year audit of PM financial statements and $294 for other costs related to the acquisition. The results of the acquired PM operations have been included in our consolidated statement of operations since the acquisition date. PM is included in the Lifting segment for segment reporting purposes. The following unaudited pro forma information assumes the acquisition of PM occurred on January 1, 2014. The unaudited pro forma results have been prepared for informational purposes only and do not purport to represent the results of operations that would have been had the acquisition occurred as of the date indicated, nor of future results of operations. The unaudited pro forma results for the year ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 are as follows (in thousands, except per share data): Year Ended December 31, 2015 Year Ended December 31, 2014 Net revenues $ 389,036 $ 346,159 (Loss) earnings from continuing operations attributable to shareholders of Manitex International, Inc. $ (3,654 ) $ 414 (Loss) earnings per share from continuing operations attributable to shareholders of Manitex International, Inc.: Basic $ (0.23 ) $ 0.03 Diluted $ (0.23 ) $ 0.03 Weighted average common shares outstanding: Basic 16,011,511 14,852,672 Diluted 16,011,511 14,898,772 Pro Forma Adjustment Note The following table summarizes the pro forma adjustments that modify historical results: For 2015 2014 Record interest expense on Manitex debt issued in connection with the acquisition $ 33 $ 1,814 Transfer acquisition costs between periods (1,148 ) 1,148 Eliminate impact of capitalizing research and development by PM (45 ) 142 Adjust depreciation to reflect fair values and current lives (11 ) (395 ) Adjust amortization to reflect fair value of intangibles and current lives 90 1,680 Eliminate historic interest expense on debt forgiven or converted to non-interest debt (14 ) (1,403 ) Record amortization of debt discount on non-interest bearing debt 27 549 Transfer amortization of inventory step up between periods (912 ) 1,030 Eliminate profit on debt restructuring (this was not a taxable event) 6,298 — Record income tax impact on the above pro forma adjustments 662 (1,562 ) Lift Ventures, LLC On December 16, 2014, Manitex International, Inc. (the “Company”), BGI USA Inc. (“BGI”), Movedesign SRL and R & S Advisory S.r.l., entered into an operating agreement (the “Operating Agreement”) for Lift Ventures LLC (“Lift Ventures”), a joint venture entity. The purposes for which Lift Ventures is organized are the manufacturing and selling of certain products and components, including the Schaeff LiftKing This investment is a non-marketable equity investment made in a privately-held company accounted for under the equity method. This investment had a carrying value of $5,752 and $5,951 at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. In the future, we will review this non-marketable equity investment periodically for impairment. No impairments were recognized for the year ended December 31, 2015 and 2014. ASV Stock Purchase On December 19, 2014, the Company closed on the ASV Stock Purchase Agreement entered into between Manitex International, Inc. (the “Company”) and Terex Corporation (“Terex”) on October 29, 2014, pursuant to which the Company purchased 51% of the issued and outstanding shares of ASV Inc. a Grand Rapids, Minnesota-based manufacturer of a broad line of technology leading compact rubber tracked and skid steer loaders and accessories that had been a wholly owned subsidiary of Terex since 2008. The fair value of the purchase consideration was $49,787 in total as shown below: Cash $ 25,000 Note payable to seller 1,411 Fair value of non-controlling interest in ASV 23,376 Total purchase consideration $ 49,787 Under the acquisition method of accounting, in accordance ASC 805, Business Combinations, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are valued based on their estimated fair values as of the date of the acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the aggregate estimated fair value of net assets acquired was allocated to goodwill. At December 31, 2014, it was stated that the purchase price allocation was preliminary and was subject to final review of certain items including inventory, accrual and receivable balances. During the year ended December 31, 2015, the purchase price allocation was adjusted. Adjustments for the following reasons to the previously reported provisional assets or liabilities were made. Record liabilities that existed at acquisition date that had not been recorded $ 115 Adjustment to reduce the value of certain inventory based on obtaining additional information 460 Eliminate value assigned to fixed assets determined not to exist at date of acquisition 262 Increase reserves for product liability suits based on additional information 3,199 Adjustment to reserves for worker compensation claims based on additional information 68 Adjustment to income tax payable to record tax liability based on additional information (269 ) Net impact on goodwill $ 3,835 The balance sheet at December 31, 2014 was restated to reflect the above changes to ASV purchase price allocations as follows: Account Provisional amounts recorded as of December 31, 2014 Adjustment to purchase price allocation Revised amount recorded as of December 31, 2014 Goodwill $ 26,744 $ 3,835 $ 30,579 Inventory 27,217 (460 ) 26,757 Fixed assets 19,177 (262 ) 18,915 Accrued expenses (3,975 ) (3,382 ) (7,357 ) Income tax payable on conversion of ASV (16,500 ) 269 (16,231 ) The above adjustments are non-cash items and, therefore, do not have an impact on the Statement of Cash Flows for the period ended December 31, 2014. The following table summarizes the preliminary allocation of the ASV acquisition consideration to the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition: Purchase price allocation: Cash $ 2 Accounts receivable 18,232 Prepaid Expenses 71 Inventory 26,757 Total fixed assets 18,915 Customer relationships 16,000 Trade name and trademarks 7,000 Patented & Unpatented Technology 8,000 Goodwill 30,579 Capitalized Debt Issuance Costs 2,767 Accounts payable (9,459 ) Accrued expenses (7,357 ) Accrued conversion tax (16,231 ) Accrued pension liability (839 ) Assumption of non-recourse ASV debt (44,650 ) Net assets acquired $ 49,787 Deferred bank fees and expense: Legal and bank fees incurred related to establishing term debt and revolving credit financing for ASV as part of the acquisition transaction. Manitex executed a note payable in the amount of $1,594 in connection with the transaction. The note was to reimburse Terex for Manitex’s share of fees and expenses, including $1,411 of fees related to new financing at ASV. Noncontrolling interest in ASV: Fair value of Terex 49% share of ASV equity calculated by grossing up the fair value of the controlling interest purchased by the Company to a 100% value, then deducting the $26,411 paid for the majority interest. Subsequently an adjustment for an implied minority discount of $2,000 (approximately 8%) was applied against initial calculation. Non-recourse ASV debt: In connection with the transaction, ASV entered into a $40,000, five year Term debt facility and a $35,000 revolving credit facility. At the date of acquisition, ASV had fully drawn funds on the Term debt, $40,000, and had drawn $4,650 on the revolving credit facility. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the total consideration is allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values as of the date of the acquisition as shown below. Tangible assets and liabilities: The tangible assets and liabilities were valued at their respective carrying values by ASV, except for certain adjustments necessary to state such amounts at their estimated fair values at acquisition date. Fair market adjustments to fixed assets and inventory of $3,668 were recorded. Intangible assets: There are three fundamental methods applied to value intangible assets outlined in FASB ASC 820. These methods include the Cost Approach, the Market Approach, and the Income Approach. Each of these valuation approaches was considered in our estimation of value. Trade names and trademarks, patented and unpatented technology: Valued using the Relief from Royalty method, a form of both the Market Approach and the Income Approach. Because the Company has established trade names and trademarks and has developed patented and unpatented technology, we estimated the benefit of ownership as the relief from the royalty expense that would need to be incurred in absence of ownership. Customer relationships: Because there is a specific earnings stream that can be associated with customer relationships, we determined the fair value of these relationships based on the excess earnings method, a form of the Income Approach. Goodwill: Goodwill represents the excess of total consideration paid and the fair value of net assets acquired. The recognition of goodwill of $30,579 reflects the inherent value in the ASV reputation, which has been built since being founded in 1983 and the prospects for significant future earnings. For income tax purposes, intangible assets and goodwill will be amortized and will result in future tax deductions. Accrued conversion tax: In connection with the acquisition, the Board of Directors of ASV, Inc. agreed a Plan of Conversion to convert ASV, Inc., a corporation into a Minnesota limited liability company. Under the plan, all of the issued and outstanding shares of ASV, Inc. were cancelled and an equal number of limited liability company membership interests were issued to the members of ASV LLC, on a one-for-one basis. In connection with the conversion, ASV will have a taxable gain. Acquisition transaction costs: Cost and expenses related to the acquisition have been expensed as incurred and recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses. The Company incurred fees of $100 for legal services, $750 for acquisition related bonus payments, $325 for accounting services in connection with the prior year audit of ASV financial statements and $40 for Valuation services. The results of the acquired ASV operations have been included in our consolidated statement of operations since the acquisition date. ASV is being treated as its own segment for segment reporting purposes.

The maximum number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the plan is 917,046 shares. The total number of shares reserved for issuance however, can be adjusted to reflect certain corporate transactions or changes in the Company’s capital structure. The Company’s employees and members of the board of directors who are not our employees or employees of our affiliates are eligible to participate in the plan. The plan is administered by a committee of the board comprised of members who are outside directors. The plan provides that the committee has the authority to, among other things, select plan participants, determine the type and amount of awards, determine award terms, fix all other conditions of any awards, interpret the plan and any plan awards. Under the plan, the committee can grant stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares and performance units, except Directors may not be granted stock appreciation rights, performance shares and performance units. During any calendar year, participants are limited in the number of grants they may receive under the plan.

Accounting Changes And Error Corrections [Abstract]
Recent Accounting Guidance	Note 21. Recent Accounting Guidance Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” (“ASU 2014-09”). ASU 2014-09 outlines a new, single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. This new revenue recognition model provides a five-step analysis in determining when and how revenue is recognized. The new model will require revenue recognition to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration a company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is not permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact that adoption of this guidance will have on the determination or reporting of its financial results. In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-12, “Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide that a Performance Target Could be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period,” (“ASU 2014-12”). ASU 2014-12 requires that a performance target that affects vesting, and that could be achieved after the requisite service period, be treated as a performance condition. As such, the performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant date fair value of the award. ASU 2014-12 is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. Adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a significant impact on the determination or reporting of the Company’s financial results. In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, “Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” (“ASU 2014-15”). ASU 2014-15 requires management to perform interim and annual assessments of an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern for a one year period subsequent to the date of the financial statements. An entity must provide certain disclosures if conditions or events raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. The guidance is effective for all entities for the first annual period ending after December 15, 2016 and interim periods thereafter, with early adoption permitted. Adoption of this guidance is not expected to have any impact on the determination or reporting of the Company’s financial results. In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, “Imputation of Interest: Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs,” (“ASU 2015-03”). ASU 2015-03 requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and interim periods within those fiscal years with early adoption permitted. ASU 2015-03 should be applied on a retrospective basis, wherein the balance sheet of each period presented should be adjusted to reflect the effects of adoption. Adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a significant impact on the determination or reporting of the Company’s financial results. In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, “Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory,” (“ASU 2015-11”). ASU 2015-11 requires inventory be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value and options that currently exist for market value be eliminated. ASU 2015-11 defines net realizable value as estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. The guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those fiscal years with early adoption permitted. ASU 2015-11 should be applied prospectively. The Company is evaluating the impact adoption of this guidance will have on determination or reporting of its financial results. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-15, “Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements,” which amends ASC 835-30, “Interest - Imputation of Interest”. The ASU clarifies the presentation and subsequent measurement of debt issuance costs associated with lines of credit. These costs may be presented as an asset and amortized ratably over the term of the line of credit arrangement, regardless of whether there are outstanding borrowings on the arrangement. The effective date will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2016 and will be applied retrospectively. The adoption is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial results. In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16, “Business Combinations: Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments.” This ASU requires that an acquirer recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. The effective date will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2016. The adoption is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial results. In November 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-17 (“ASU 2015-17”), Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, "Financial Instruments-Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities." The amendments in ASU 2016-01, among other things, require equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting, or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes In February 2016, the FASB issued a standards update that requires lessees to recognize on the balance sheet the assets and liabilities associated with the rights and obligations created by those leases. The guidance for lessors is largely unchanged from current U.S. GAAP. Under the new guidance, a lessee will be required to recognize assets and liabilities for leases with lease terms of more than 12 months. Consistent with current U.S. GAAP, the recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee primarily will depend on its classification as a finance or operating lease. The update is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. We are in the process of evaluating the impact of this update on our consolidated financial statements. Except as noted above, the guidance issued by the FASB during the current year is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Commitments And Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Legal Proceedings and Other Contingencies	Note 23. Legal Proceedings and Other Contingencies The Company is involved in various legal proceedings, including product liability, employment related issues, and workers’ compensation matters which have arisen in the normal course of operations. The Company has product liability insurance with self-insurance retention that range from $50 to $500. ASV product liability cases that existed on date of acquisition have a $4,000 self-retention limit. Certain cases are at a preliminary stage, and it is not possible to estimate the amount or timing of any cost to the Company. However, the Company does not believe that these contingencies, in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on the Company. Additionally, the Company has been named as a defendant in several multi-defendant asbestos related product liability lawsuits. In certain instances, the Company is indemnified by a former owner of the product line in question. In the remaining cases the plaintiff has, to date, not been able to establish any exposure by the plaintiff to the Company’s products. The Company is uninsured with respect to these claims but believes that it will not incur any material liability with respect to these to claims. When it is probable that a loss has been incurred and possible to make a reasonable estimate of the Company’s liability with respect to such matters, a provision is recorded for the amount of such estimate or the minimum amount of a range of estimates when it is not possible to estimate the amount within the range that is most likely to occur. The Company established reserves for several ASV and PM lawsuits in conjunction with the accounting for these two acquisitions. Additionally beginning on December 31, 2011, the Company’s workmen’s compensation insurance policy has per claim deductible of $250 and aggregates of $1,000, $1,150, $1,325, $1,875 and $1,575 for On May 5, 2011, Company entered into two separate settlement agreements with two plaintiffs. As of December 31, 2015, the Company has a remaining obligation under the agreements to pay the plaintiffs $1,520 without interest in 16 annual installments of $95 on or before May 22 each year. The Company has recorded a liability for the net present value of the liability. The difference between the net present value and the total payment will be charged to interest expense over payment period. It is reasonably possible that the “Estimated Reserve for Product Liability Claims” may change within the next 12 months. A change in estimate could occur if a case is settled for more or less than anticipated, or if additional information becomes known to the Company.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Accounting Policy	The summary of significant accounting policies of Manitex International, Inc. is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management who is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.
Cash and Cash Equivalents	Cash and Cash Equivalents —For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all short-term securities purchased with maturity dates of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition —Revenue and related costs are recognized when title passes and risk of loss pass to our customers which generally occurs upon shipment depending upon the terms of the contract. Under certain contracts with our customers title passes to the customers when the units are completed. The units are segregated from our inventory and identified as belonging to the customer, the customer is notified that the units are complete and awaiting pick up or delivery as specified by the customer before income is recognized. Additionally, the customer is requested to sign an “Invoice Authorization Form” which acknowledges the contract terms and acknowledges that the customer has economic ownership and control over the unit. It also acknowledges that we are going to invoice the unit per terms of the contract. The Company insures any custodial risk that it may retain. For FOB contracts, customers may be invoiced prior to the time customers take physical possession. Revenue is recognized in such cases only when the customer has a fixed commitment to purchase the units, the units have been completed, tested and made available to the customer for pickup or delivery, and the customer has authorized in writing that we hold the units for pickup or delivery at a time specified by the customer. In such cases, the units are invoiced under our customary billing terms, title to the units and risks of ownership pass to the customer upon invoicing, the units are segregated from our inventory and identified as belonging to the customer and we have no further obligations under the order. The Company insures any custodial risk that it may retain. In addition, our policy requires in all instances certain minimum criteria be met in order to recognize revenue, specifically: a) Persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists; b) The price to the buyer is fixed or determinable; c) Collectability is reasonably assured; and d) We have no significant obligations for future performance.
Investment-Equity Method of Accounting	Investment—Equity Method of Accounting —Our non-marketable equity investments are investments we have made in privately-held companies accounted for under the equity method. We periodically review our non-marketable equity investments for impairment. No impairments were recognized for the year ended December 31, 2015.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts	Allowance for Doubtful Accounts —The Company has adopted a policy consistent with U.S. GAAP for the periodic review of its accounts receivable to determine whether the establishment of an allowance for doubtful accounts is warranted based on the Company’s assessment of the collectability of the accounts. The Company established an allowance for bad debt of $240 and $458 at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The Company also has in some instances a security interest in its accounts receivable until payment is received.
Property, Equipment and Depreciation	Property, Equipment and Depreciation —Property and equipment are stated at cost or the fair market value at date of acquisition for property and equipment acquired in connection with the acquisition of a company. Depreciation of property and equipment is provided over the following useful lives: Asset Category Depreciable Buildings 20 –33 years Machinery and equipment 1 – 15 years Furniture and fixtures 3 – 12 years Leasehold improvements 1.5 Expenditures for major renewals and betterments that extend the useful lives of property and equipment are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 was $5,055,
Other Intangible Assets	Other Intangible Assets —The Company accounts for Other Intangible Assets under the guidance of ASC 350, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other”. The Company capitalizes certain costs related to patent technology. Additionally, a substantial portion of the purchase price related to the Company’s acquisitions has been assigned to patents or unpatented technology, trade name, customer backlog, and customer relationships. Under the guidance, Other Intangible Assets with definite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives. Intangible assets with indefinite lives are tested annually for impairment. Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level (reportable segment). The Company’s three operating segments comprise the reporting units for goodwill impairment testing purposes. Under ASU 2011-08, entities are provided with the option of first performing a qualitative assessment on none, some, or all of its reporting units to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If after completing a qualitative analysis, it is determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value a quantitative analysis is required. In 2015 and 2014, the Company elected to evaluate the Lifting Equipment and Equipment Distribution reporting unit’s goodwill using the quantitative two step approach. Additionally, in 2015 the Company evaluated ASV’s goodwill using the quantitative approach. The first step used to identify potential impairment involves comparing the reporting unit’s estimated fair value to its carrying value, including goodwill. The aforementioned step one quantitative tests did not indicate impairment. During the first step testing, the Company evaluated goodwill for impairment using a business valuation method, which is calculated as of a measurement date by determining the present value of debt-free, after-tax projected future cash flows, discounted at the weighted average cost of capital of a hypothetical third party buyer. The market approach was also considered in evaluating the potential for impairment by calculating fair value based on multiples of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) of comparable, publicly traded companies. This analysis also did not indicate impairment. The estimated fair values of the Lifting Equipment and ASV reporting segments were within 10% of their carrying values. The fair value of the Equipment Distribution segment exceeded its carrying value by slightly more than 10%. Moreover, the Company also observed implied EBITDA multiples from relatively recent merger and acquisition activity in the industry, which was used to test the reasonableness of the results. The second step of the process involves the calculation of an implied fair value of goodwill for each reporting unit for which step one indicated impairment. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined by measuring the excess of the estimated fair value of the reporting unit over the estimated fair values of the individual assets, liabilities and identifiable intangibles as if the reporting unit was being acquired in a business combination. If the implied fair value of goodwill exceeds the carrying value of goodwill assigned to the reporting unit, there is no impairment. If the carrying value of goodwill assigned to a reporting unit exceeds the implied fair value of the goodwill, an impairment charge is recorded for the excess. An impairment loss cannot exceed the carrying value of goodwill assigned to a reporting unit and the subsequent reversal of goodwill impairment losses is not permitted. The determination of fair value requires the Company to make significant estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions primarily include, but are not limited to, revenue growth and operating earnings projections, discount rates, terminal growth rates, and required capital expenditure projections. . Our projections make certain assumptions including expanding PM market share in North America, a normalization of energy markets over time and a continued expansion of dealer networks, particularly for ASV. If our progress in meeting these and other assumptions is slower or different than what was anticipated, it may impact our ability to meet the projections. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making these estimates, actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Deterioration in the market or actual results as compared with the projections (including not meeting near term projections) may result in an impairment in the near term. In the event, the Company determines that goodwill is impaired in the future the Company would need to recognize a non-cash impairment charge. For 2013, the Company determined on a qualitative basis, that it was not more likely than not that the fair value of the Lifting reporting unit was less than its carrying value. For 2013, the Company also determined on a qualitative basis, that it was not more likely than not that the fair value of the Equipment Distribution reporting unit was less than its carrying value. The Company did not have any impairment for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013.
Impairment of Long Lived Assets	Impairment of Long Lived Assets —The Company’s policy is to assess the realizability of its long-lived assets, including intangible assets, and to evaluate such assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets (or group of assets) may not be recoverable. Impairment is determined to exist if the estimated future undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value. Future cash flow projections include assumptions for future sales levels, the impact of cost reduction programs, and the level of working capital needed to support each business. The amount of any impairment then recognized would be calculated as the difference between estimated fair value and the carrying value of the asset. The Company did not have any impairment for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013.
Inventory	Inventory —Inventory consists of stock materials and equipment stated at the lower of cost (first in, first out) or market. All equipment classified as inventory is available for sale. The company records excess and obsolete inventory reserves. The estimated reserve is based upon specific identification of excess or obsolete inventories. Selling, general and administrative expenses are expensed as incurred and are not capitalized as a component of inventory.
Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions	Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions —The financial statements of the Company’s non-U.S. subsidiaries are translated using the current exchange rate for assets and liabilities and the weighted-average exchange rate for the year for income and expense items. Resulting translation adjustments are recorded to accumulated other comprehensive income (OCI) as a component of shareholders’ equity. The Company converts receivables and payables denominated in other than the Company’s functional currency at the exchange rate as of the balance sheet date. The resulting transaction exchange gains or losses, except for certain transaction gains or loss related to intercompany receivable and payables, are included in other income and expense. Transaction gains and losses related to intercompany receivables and payables not anticipated to be settled in the foreseeable future are excluded from the determination of net income and are recorded as a translation adjustment (with consideration to the tax effect) to accumulated other comprehensive income (OCI) as a component of shareholders’ equity.
Derivatives-Forward Currency Exchange Contracts	Derivatives—Forward Currency Exchange Contracts —The Company enters into forward currency exchange contracts in relationship such that the exchange gains and losses on the assets and liabilities denominated in other than the reporting units’ functional currency would be offset by the changes in the market value of the forward currency exchange contracts it holds. The forward currency exchange contracts that the Company has to offset existing assets and liabilities denominated in other than the reporting units’ functional currency have been determined not to be considered a hedge under ASC 815-10. The Company records at the balance sheet date the forward currency exchange contracts at its market value with any associated gain or loss being recorded in current earnings. Both realized and unrealized gains and losses related to forward currency contracts are included in current earnings and are reflected in the Statement of Operations in the other income expense section on the line titled foreign currency transaction gain (loss). The Company has entered into forward currency contracts to hedge certain future U.S. dollar sales of its Canadian Subsidiary. The forward currency contracts to hedge future sales are designated as cash flow hedges under ASC 815-10. As required, forward currency contracts are recognized as an asset or liability at fair value on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative is reported as a component of other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings (date of sale). Gains or losses on cash flow hedges when recognized into income are included in net revenues (see Note 6).
Interest Rate Swap Contracts	Interest Rate Swap Contracts —The Company enters into derivative instruments to manage its exposure to interest rate risk related to certain foreign term loans. Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value at the date the contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at the end of each reporting period. The resulting gain or loss is recognized in current earnings immediately unless the derivative is designated and effective as a hedging instrument, in which case the effective portion of the gain or loss is recognized and is reported as a component of other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedging instrument affects earnings (date of sale). As part of the acquisition of PM Group, which was acquired on January 15, 2015, the Company acquired interest rate swap contracts, which manage the exposure to interest rate risk related to term loans with certain financial institutions in Italy. These contracts have been determined not to be hedge instruments under ASC 815-10.
Credit Risk Concentrations	Credit Risk Concentrations —Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, trade receivables and payables. The Company maintains its cash balances and marketable securities at banks located in Detroit, Michigan, New York, New York, Toronto, Canada as well as several separate Italian banks. Accounts in the United States are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250. At December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company had uninsured balances of $4,120 and $5,814, respectively. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, no customers accounted for 10% or more of total Company’s accounts receivable. In 2015, 2014 and 2013, no one customer accounted for 10% or more of total company’s revenues.
Research and Development Expenses	Research and Development Expenses — The Company expenses research and development costs, as incurred. For the periods ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 expenses were $5,829, $2,093 and $2,308, respectively.
Advertising	Advertising —Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and were $953, $455 and $616 for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Retirement Benefit Costs and Termination Benefits — Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit plans are recognized as an expense when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions. For defined benefit retirement benefit plans, the cost of providing benefits is determined using the projected unit credit method, with actuarial valuations being carried out at the end of each annual reporting period. Remeasurement, comprising actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the changes to the asset ceiling (if applicable) and the return on plan assets (excluding interest), is reflected immediately in the statement of financial position with a charge or credit recognized in other comprehensive income in the period in which they occur. Remeasurement recognized in other comprehensive income is reflected immediately in retained earnings and will not be reclassified to profit or loss. Past service cost is recognized in profit or loss in the period of a plan amendment. Net interest is calculated by applying the discount rate at the beginning of the period to the net defined benefit liability or asset. Defined benefit costs are categorized as follows: · service cost (including current service cost, past service cost, as well as gains and losses on curtailments and settlements); · net interest expense or income; and · remeasurement. Curtailment gains and losses are accounted for as past service costs. The retirement benefit obligation recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position represents the actual deficit or surplus in PM Group’s defined benefit plans. Any surplus resulting from this calculation is limited to the present value of any economic benefits available in the form of refunds from the plans or reductions in future contributions to the plans. A liability for a termination benefit is recognized at the earlier of when the entity can no longer withdraw the offer of the termination benefit and when the entity recognizes any related restructuring costs.

Litigation Claims	Litigation Claims —In determining whether liabilities should be recorded for pending litigation claims, the Company must assess the allegations and the likelihood that it will successfully defend itself. When the Company believes it is probable that it will not prevail in a particular matter, it will then record an estimate of the amount of liability based, in part, on advice of outside legal counsel.
Shipping and Handling	Shipping and Handling —The Company records the amount of shipping and handling costs billed to customers as revenue. The cost incurred for shipping and handling is included in the cost of sales.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates —The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates .
Income Taxes	Income Taxes —The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of ASC 740 “ Income Taxes,” which requires recognition of income taxes based on amounts payable with respect to the current year and the effects of deferred taxes for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the Company’s financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial accounting and tax basis of assets and liabilities, as well as for operating losses and tax credit carryforwards using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not a tax benefit will not be realized. ASC 740 also prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, as well as guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income prior to the expiration of any net operating loss carryforwards. See Note 14, Income Taxes, for further details .
Accrued Warranties	Accrued Warranties —Warranty costs are accrued at the time revenue is recognized. The Company’s products are typically sold with a warranty covering defects that arise during a fixed period of time. The specific warranty offered is a function of customer expectations and competitive forces. The Equipment Distribution segment does not accrue for warranty costs at the time of sales, as they are reimbursed by the manufacturers for any warranty that they provide to their customers. A liability for estimated warranty claims is accrued at the time of sale. The liability is established using historical warranty claim experience. Historical warranty experience is, however, reviewed by management. The current provision may be adjusted to take into account unusual or non-recurring events in the past or anticipated changes in future warranty claims. Adjustments to the initial warranty accrual are recorded if actual claim experience indicates that adjustments are necessary. Warranty reserves are reviewed to ensure critical assumptions are updated for known events that may impact the potential warranty liability.
Debt Issuance Costs	Debt Issuance Costs —Debt issuance costs incurred in securing the Company’s financing arrangements are capitalized and amortized over the term of the associated debt. Deferred financing cost are included with other long-term assets on the Company’s balance sheet.
Sale and Leaseback	Sale and Leaseback —In accordance with ASC 840-40 Sales-Leaseback Transactions, the Company has recorded deferred revenue in relationship to the sale and leaseback of one of the Company’s operating facilities and on certain equipment. As such, the deferred gains have been deferred and is being amortized on a straight line basis over the life of the leases.
Computation of EPS	Computation of EPS —Basic Earnings per Share (“EPS”) was computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The number of shares related to options, warrants, restricted stock, convertible debt and similar instruments included in diluted EPS (“EPS”) is based on the “Treasury Stock Method” prescribed in ASC 260-10, Earnings per Share. This method assumes theoretical repurchase of shares using proceeds of the respective stock option or warrant exercised, and for restricted stock the amount of compensation cost attributed to future services which has not yet been recognized and the amount of current and deferred tax benefit, if any, that would be credited to additional paid in capital upon the vesting of the restricted stock, at a price equal to the issuer’s average stock price during the related earnings period. Accordingly, the number of shares includable in the calculation of EPS in respect of the stock options, warrants, restricted stock, convertible debt and similar instruments is dependent on this average stock price and will increase as the average stock price increases.
Stock Based Compensation	Stock Based Compensation —In accordance with ASC 718 Compensation-Stock Compensation, share-based payments to employees, including grants of restricted stock units, are measured at fair value as of the date of grant and are expensed in the consolidated statement of income over the service period (generally the vesting period).
Comprehensive Income	Comprehensive Income —“Reporting Comprehensive Income” requires reporting and displaying comprehensive income and its components. Comprehensive income includes, in addition to net earnings, other items that are reported as direct adjustments to shareholder’s equity. Currently, the comprehensive income adjustment required for the Company has two components. First is a foreign currency translation adjustment, the result of consolidating its foreign subsidiary. The second component is a derivative instrument fair market value adjustment (net of income taxes) related to forward currency contracts designated as a cash flow hedge. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative is reported as a component of other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings (date of sale). See Note 6 for additional details.
Reclassifications	Reclassifications —Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2014 and 2013 financial statements to conform to the 2015 presentation.
Business Combinations	Business Combinations —The Company accounts for acquisitions in accordance with guidance found in ASC 805, Business Combinations. The guidance requires consideration given, including contingent consideration, assets acquired and liabilities assumed to be valued at their fair market values at the acquisition date. The guidance further provides that: (1) in-process research and development will be recorded at fair value as an indefinite-lived intangible asset; (2) acquisition costs will generally be expensed as incurred, (3) restructuring costs associated with a business combination will generally be expensed subsequent to the acquisition date; and (4) changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowances and income tax uncertainties after the acquisition date generally will affect income tax expense. ASC 805 requires that any excess of purchase price over fair value of assets acquired, including identifiable intangibles and liabilities assumed be recognized as goodwill. In accordance with ASC 805, any excess of fair value of acquired net assets, including identifiable intangibles assets, over the acquisition consideration results in a bargain purchase gain. Prior to recording a gain, the acquiring entity must reassess whether all acquired assets and assumed liabilities have been identified and recognized and perform re-measurements to verify that the consideration paid, assets acquired and liabilities assumed have been properly valued.
