Organization Consolidation And Presentation Of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Nature of Operations	1. Nature of Operations The Company is a leading provider of engineered lifting solutions. The Company operates in a single business segment. The Company designs, manufactures and distributes a diverse group of products that serve different functions and are used in a variety of industries. Through its Manitex, Inc. subsidiary it markets a comprehensive line of boom trucks, truck cranes and sign cranes. Manitex’s boom trucks and crane products are primarily used for industrial projects, energy exploration and infrastructure development, including, roads, bridges and commercial construction. Badger Equipment Company (“Badger”) is a manufacturer of specialized rough terrain cranes and material handling products. Badger primarily serves the needs of the construction, municipality and railroad industries. PM Group S.p.A. (“PM”) is a leading Italian manufacturer of truck mounted hydraulic knuckle boom cranes with a 50-year history of technology and innovation, and a product range spanning more than 50 models. Its largest subsidiary, Oil & Steel (“O&S”), is a manufacturer of truck-mounted aerial platforms with a diverse product line and an international client base. ManitexValla S.r.L. (“Valla”) produces a line of industrial pick and carry cranes using electric, diesel, and hybrid power options with lifting capacity that range from 2 to 90 tons. Its cranes offer wheeled or tracked, and fixed or swing boom configurations, with special applications designed specifically to meet the needs of its customers. Valla’s products are sold internationally through dealers and into the rental distribution channel. Sabre Manufacturing, LLC, (“Sabre”) which is located in Knox, Indiana, manufactures a comprehensive line of specialized mobile tanks for liquid and solid storage and containment solutions with capacities from 8,000 to 21,000 gallons. Its mobile tanks are sold to specialized independent tank rental companies and through the Company’s existing dealer network. The tanks are used in a variety of end markets such as petrochemical, waste management and oil and gas drilling. Crane and Machinery, Inc. (“C&M”) and Crane and Machinery Leasing, Inc. (“C&M Leasing”) are located in Bridgeview, Illinois. C&M is a distributor of new and used Manitex branded products as well as Terex rough terrain and truck cranes. C&M also provides repair services in Chicago and supplies repair parts for a wide variety of medium to heavy duty construction equipment. C&M Leasing rents equipment in the Chicago area that is manufactured by the Company as well as a limited amount of equipment manufactured by third parties. C&M Leasing is used to facilitate the sales of Company products through its rent to own program. Discontinued Operations ASV Segment Prior to the quarter ended June 30, 2017, the Company owned a 51% interest in A.S.V., LLC (“ASV”). ASV is located in Grand Rapids, Minnesota and manufactures a line of high quality compact track and skid steer loaders. On May 11, 2017, in anticipation of an initial public offering, ASV converted from an LLC to a C-Corporation and the Company’s 51% interest in ASV was converted to 4,080,000 common shares of ASV Holdings, Inc. (“ASV Holdings”). On May 17, 2017, in connection within its initial public offering, ASV Holdings sold 1,800,000 shares and the Company sold 2,000,000 shares of ASV Holdings common stock. The Company continues to own 2,080,000 common shares of ASV Holdings or approximately a 21.2% interest in ASV Holdings. As a result of this sale, the Company no longer has a controlling interest in ASV Holdings. During the quarter ended June 30, 2017, the Company deconsolidated ASV Holdings from its financial reporting and began recording its remaining interest as an equity investment. Prior period financial statements have been restated to reflect ASV Holdings as a discontinued operation. CVS Ferrari, srl (“CVS”) designed and manufactured a range of reach stackers and associated lifting equipment for the global container handling market. CVS was sold on December 22, 2016 and is presented as a discontinued operation. Manitex Liftking ULC (“Manitex Liftking” or “Liftking”) sold a complete line of rough terrain forklifts, a line of stand-up electric forklifts, cushioned tired forklifts with lifting capacities from 18 thousand to 40 thousand pounds and special mission oriented vehicles, as well as other specialized carriers, heavy material handling transporters and steel mill equipment. Liftking was sold on September 30, 2016, and is presented as a discontinued operation. Change in Reporting Segments Prior to the quarter ended June 30, 2017, the Company reported it operations in three segments: the Lifting Equipment segment, the ASV segment and the Equipment Distribution segment. Since 2015, the Company has sought to redefine itself strategically and operationally, including through a series of divestitures. The last divestiture occurred in May 2017, with the sale of a portion of the Company’s investment in ASV Holdings. As a result of this sale, the Company has deconsolidated ASV Holdings from its financial reporting, and ASV Holdings is no longer a reporting segment. The previously reported Equipment Distribution segment was comprised of C&M and C&M Leasing. C&M was acquired by the Company in 2008 and at that time operated primarily as a distributor of Terex Corporation (“Terex”) rough terrain and truck cranes. Subsequent to 2008, C&M added a used equipment business, which involved buying both lifting and non-lifting construction equipment and then refurbishing and remarketing that equipment. Recently, the C&M operations evolved and the used equipment sales operations were discontinued. C&M remains a distributor of Terex rough terrain and truck cranes; however C&M’s primary business is the distribution of products manufactured by the Company. C&M Leasing’s primary business is the facilitation of sales of products manufactured by the Company through its rent to own program. As C&M and C&M Leasing’s primary business is the facilitation of Company manufactured product sales, discrete financial information is not available. Further, the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) reviews C&M and C&M Leasing operations only to determine their impact on the entire Company. As such, the operations of C&M and C&M Leasing no longer constitute a separate reporting segment.

Organization Consolidation And Presentation Of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	2. Basis of Presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements, included herein, have been prepared by the Company without audit pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. Pursuant to these rules and regulations, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements which are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals, except as otherwise disclosed) necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income and cash flows as of the dates and for the periods presented. The consolidated balances as of December 31, 2016 were derived from audited financial statements but do not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting standards for interim financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2016. For further information, refer to the consolidated audited financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations expected for the year. Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Accounts receivable are stated at the amounts the Company’s customers are invoiced and do not bear interest. Accounts receivable is reduced by an allowance for amounts that may become uncollectible in the future. The Company’s estimate for the allowance for doubtful accounts related to trade receivables includes evaluation of specific accounts where the Company has information that the customer may have an inability to meet its financial obligations. The Company had allowances for doubtful accounts of $63 and $7 at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. Inventory Valuation Inventory consists of stock materials and equipment stated at the lower of cost (first in, first out) or net realizable value. 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. 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. 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. Revenue Recognition Revenue and related costs are recognized when title passes and risk of loss passes 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. 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. The PM Group is the only entity within the Company that currently has any interest rate swap contracts. These contracts have been determined not to be hedge instruments under ASC 815-10. 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 make an estimate of the amount of liability based, in part, on the advice of legal counsel. Income Taxes The Company’s provision for income taxes consists of U.S. and foreign taxes in amounts necessary to align the Company’s year-to-date tax provision with the effective rate that the Company expects to achieve for the full year. Each quarter the Company updates its estimate of the annual effective tax rate and records cumulative adjustments as necessary. The effective tax rate is based upon the Company’s anticipated earnings both in the U.S. and in foreign jurisdictions. 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 stockholder’s equity. Currently, the only comprehensive income adjustment is the foreign currency translation adjustment, the result of consolidating its foreign subsidiaries. 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. Equity Investment in ASV Holdings, Inc. The Company is accounting for its 21.2% investment in ASV Holdings by equity method of accounting under which the Company’s share of the net income (loss) of the ASV Holdings is recognized as income (loss) in the Company’s statement of operations and added to investment account, and dividends received from ASV Holdings will be treated as a reduction of the investment account. ASV Holdings’ earnings are recorded on a one quarter lag as ASV Holdings is now a public company and may not report earnings in time to be included in the Company’s financial statements. As such, the investment in ASV Holdings has not been adjusted for earnings subsequent to the sale of portion of the Company’s investment in ASV Holdings, which occurred on May 17, 2017. The Company owns 2,080,000 Common Shares of ASV Holdings, which had a market value on June 30, 2017 of $16,952 based on a closing price of $8.15. Reclassification Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year’s consolidated financial statements to conform to the current year’s presentation. Supplemental Cash Flow Disclosures Interest paid, income taxes paid and income tax refunds received and non-cash transactions for the periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 were as follows: Six Months Ended June 30, 2017 2016 Interest paid in cash 2,425 6,163 Income tax payments (refunds) in cash 28 (1,030 ) Non cash transactions Issuance of common stock in connection with Terex note repayment — 150 Equipment held for sale financed on a capital lease 896 —

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Financial Instruments-Forward Currency Exchange Contracts and Interest Rate Swap Contracts	3. Financial Instruments—Forward Currency Exchange Contracts and Interest Rate Swap Contracts 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 June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 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 summary of items that the Company measures at fair value on a recurring basis: Fair Value at June 30, 2017 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Asset Forward currency exchange contracts $ — $ 125 $ — $ 125 Total current assets at fair value $ — $ 125 $ — $ 125 Liabilities: Interest rate swap contracts $ — $ 7 $ — $ 7 Valla contingent consideration — — 209 209 Total recurring long-term liabilities at fair value $ — $ 7 $ 209 $ 216 Fair Value at December 31, 2016 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Liabilities: Forward currency exchange contracts $ — $ 159 $ — $ 159 Interest rate swap contracts — 405 — 405 PM contingent liabilities — — 316 316 Valla contingent consideration — — 193 193 Total liabilities at fair value $ — $ 564 $ 509 $ 1,073 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]
Derivatives Financial Instruments	4. Derivatives Financial Instruments 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 Euro, Chilean Peso and the U.S. dollar. Forward Currency Contracts When the Company receives a significant order in a currency other than the operating unit’s functional currency, management may evaluate different options that are available to mitigate future currency exchange risks. The decision to hedge future sales is not automatic and is decided case by case. The Company only uses hedge instruments to hedge firm existing sales orders and not estimated exposure, when management determines that exchange risks exceed 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. 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 June 30, 2017 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 losses which will reclassified from other comprehensive income into earnings during the next 12 months. At times, the Company enters into forward currency exchange contracts in relationship such that the exchange gains and losses on the assets and liabilities denominated in a currency 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 a currency 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 Income in the other income (expense) section on the line titled foreign currency transaction gains (losses). Items denominated in a currency other than a reporting unit functional currency include certain intercompany receivables due from the Company’s Italian subsidiaries and accounts receivable and accounts payable of our Italian subsidiaries and their subsidiaries PM Group has an intercompany receivable denominated in Euros from its Chilean subsidiary. At June 30, 2017, the Company had entered into a forward currency exchange contract that matures on August 2, 2017. Under the contract the Company is obligated to sell 1,500,000 Chilean pesos for 2,084 euros. The purpose of the forward contract 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. Interest Rate Swap Contracts A contract was signed by PM Group, for an original notional amount of € 482 (€ 516 at June 30, 2017), maturing on October 1, 2020 with interest paid monthly. PM pays interest at a rate of 3.90% and receives from the counterparties interest at the “Euribor” rate for the period in question if greater than 0.90%. As of June 30, 2017, the Company had the following forward currency contracts and interest rate swaps: Nature of Derivative Currency Amount Type Forward currency sales contracts Chilean peso 1,500,000 Not designated as hedge instrument Interest rate swap contract Euro 482 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 Sheets as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016: Total derivatives NOT designated as a hedge instrument Fair Value Balance Sheet Location June 30, 2017 December 31, 2016 Asset Derivatives Foreign currency exchange contract Prepaid expense and other $ 125 $ — Liabilities Derivatives Foreign currency exchange contract Accrued expense $ — $ 159 Interest rate swap contracts Notes payable 7 405 Total liabilities $ 7 $ 564 The following tables provide the effect of derivative instruments on the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016: Gain or (loss) Location of gain or (loss) recognized in Income Statement Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2017 2016 2017 2016 Derivatives Not designated as Hedge Instruments Forward currency contracts Foreign currency transaction gains (losses) $ 149 $ (117 ) $ 96 $ (311 ) Interest rate swap contracts Interest expense 1 9 336 395 Forward currency contracts Income from operations of discontinued operations — 16 — 87 $ 150 $ (92 ) $ 432 $ 171 The counterparty to each of the currency exchange forward contracts is a major financial institution with credit ratings of investment grade or better and no collateral is required. Management continues to monitor counterparty risk and believes the risk of incurring losses on derivative contracts related to credit risk is unlikely.

Equity [Abstract]
Equity	6. Equity Stock issued to employees and Directors The Company issued shares of common stock to employees and Directors as restricted stock units issued under the Company’s 2004 Incentive Plan vested. Upon issuance entries were recorded to increase common stock and decrease paid in capital for the amounts shown below. The following is a summary of stock issuances that occurred during the period: Date of Issue Employees or Director Shares Issued Value of Shares Issued January 1, 2017 Directors 4,290 $ 54 January 1, 2017 Employees 20,932 266 January 4, 2017 Directors 7,675 47 January 4, 2017 Employees 42,533 258 June 1, 2017 Employees 4,493 32 79,923 $ 657 On June 1, 2017, the Company paid a portion of employees’ bonuses in stock. This resulted in an issuance of 4,493 shares with an aggregate value of $32. Stock Repurchase The Company purchases shares of Common Stock from certain employees at the closing share price on the date of purchase. The stock is purchased from the employees to satisfy employees’ withholding tax obligations related to stock issuances described above. The below table summarized shares repurchased from employees during the current year through June 30, 2017: Date of Purchase Shares Purchased Closing Price on Date of Purchase January 1, 2017 6,312 $ 6.86 January 4, 2017 11,750 $ 7.27 18,062 Equity was decreased by $128, the aggregated value of the shares reflected in the table above. 2004 Equity Incentive Plan In 2004, the Company adopted the 2004 Equity Incentive Plan and subsequently amended and restated the plan on September 13, 2007, May 28, 2009, June 5, 2013 and June 2, 2016. The maximum number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the plan is 1,329,364 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. In any year, an individual may not receive options for more than 15,000 shares, stock appreciation rights with respect to more than 20,000 shares, more than 20,000 shares of restricted stock and/or an award for more than 10,000 performance shares or restricted stock units or performance units. The plan requires that the exercise price for stock options and stock appreciation rights be not less than fair market value of the Company’s common stock on date of grant. Restricted stock units are subject to the same conditions as the restricted stock awards except the restricted stock units will not have voting rights and the common stock will not be issued until the vesting criteria are satisfied. The following table contains information regarding restricted stock units: June 30, 2017 Outstanding on January 1, 2017 342,004 Units granted during the period 4,493 Vested and issued (79,923 ) Forfeited (72,224 ) Outstanding on June 30, 2017 194,350 The value of the restricted stock is being charged to compensation expense over the vesting period. Compensation expense includes expense related to restricted stock units of $96 and At the Market Program On January 23, 2017, Manitex International Inc. entered into a Controlled Equity Offering Sales Agreement (“Sales Agreement”) with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. (“Cantor”) pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell shares of its common stock, no par value per share, having an aggregate offering price up to $20,000 through Cantor. The Company thought it prudent to put a mechanism in place by which supplemental liquidity can be provided to address working capital requirements or other capital requirements that may arise in conjunction with production requirements. Under the program, the Company’s stock is issued at the current market price and the Company pays a 7% commission to Cantor. The following table contains information regarding stock issued under the program: Date of Issue Shares Issued Shares Price Value of Shares Issued Commissions Net Proceeds January 25, 2017 247,604 $ 8.8750 $ 2,197 $ 154 $ 2,043 January 27, 2017 27,120 $ 8.8376 $ 240 $ 17 $ 223 January 30, 2017 1,100 $ 8.6464 $ 10 $ 1 $ 9 January 31, 2017 18,700 $ 8.6451 $ 162 $ 11 $ 151 294,524 $ 2,609 $ 183 $ 2,426

Accounting Changes And Error Corrections [Abstract]
New Accounting Pronouncements	7. New Accounting Pronouncements 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. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, deferral of the effective date, which amends ASU 2014-09. As a result, the effective date is the first quarter of 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact that adoption of this guidance will have on the determination or reporting of its 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 or 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 has adopted this guidance during the quarter ended March 31, 2017 on a prospective basis. The adoption of this guidance did not have a significant impact on the operating results when adopted. 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 ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842),” (“ASU 2016-02”) requires lessees to recognize assets and liabilities for leases with lease terms of more than 12 months and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. 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. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this update on its consolidated financial statements. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-05, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815),” (“ASU 2016-05”). ASU 2016-05 provides guidance clarifying that novation of a derivative contract (i.e. a change in counterparty) in a hedge accounting relationship does not, in and of itself, require designation of that hedge accounting relationship. The Company has adopted this guidance during the quarter ended March 31, 2017. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on the operating results when adopted. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-06, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815),” (“ASU 2016-06”). ASU 2016-06 simplifies the embedded derivative analysis for debt instruments containing contingent call or put options by clarifying that an exercise contingency does not need to be evaluated to determine whether it relates to interest rates and credit risk in an embedded derivative analysis. The effective date will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company has adopted this guidance during the quarter ended March 31, 2017. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on the operating results when adopted. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net),” (“ASU 2016-08”). ASU 2016-08 further clarifies principal and agent relationships within ASU 2014-09. Similar to ASU 2014-09, the effective date will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2018 with early adoption permitted in the first quarter of fiscal year 2017. The Company is evaluating the impact that adoption of this new standard will have on its consolidated financial statements. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, “Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718), Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting,” (“ASU 2016-09”). ASU 2016-09 is intended to simplify several aspects of accounting for share-based payment awards. The effective date will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company has adopted the guidance for the year ended December 31, 2017. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on the operating results when adopted. In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing,” (“ASU 2016-10”). The amendments in ASU 2016-10 are expected to reduce the cost and complexity of applying the guidance on identifying promised goods or services in contracts with customers and to improve the operability and understandability of licensing implementation guidance related to the entity's intellectual property. Similar to ASU 2014-09, the effective date will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2018 with early adoption permitted in the first quarter of fiscal year 2017. The Company is evaluating the impact that adoption of this new standard will have on its consolidated financial statements . In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments,” (“ASU 2016-15”). ASU 2016-15 reduces the existing diversity in practice in financial reporting by clarifying existing principles in ASC 230, “Statement of Cash Flows,” and provides specific guidance on certain cash flow classification issues. The effective date for ASU 2016-15 will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2018 with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact that adoption of this new standard will have on its consolidated financial statements. In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, “Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Intra-Entity Transfer of Assets Other than Inventory,” (“ASU 2016-16”). ASU 2016-16 requires recognition of current and deferred income taxes resulting from an intra-entity transfer of any asset (excluding inventory) when the transfer occurs. This is a change from existing GAAP which prohibits recognition of current and deferred income taxes until the asset is sold to a third party. The effective date for ASU 2016-16 will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2018 with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact that adoption of this new standard will have on its consolidated financial statements. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business,” (“ASU 2017-01”). ASU 2017-01 provides guidance in ascertaining whether a collection of assets and activities is considered a business. The effective date will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2018, with prospective application. The Company is evaluating the impact that adoption of this new standard will have on its consolidated financial statements. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment,” (“ASU 2017-04”). ASU 2017-04 eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Instead, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, if any. The loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Additionally, an entity should consider income tax effects from any tax deductible goodwill on the carrying amount of the reporting unit when measuring the goodwill impairment. The effective date will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2020, with early adoption permitted in 2017. The Company is evaluating the impact that adoption of this new standard will have on its 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

Credit Facilities and Debt	12. U.S. Credit Facilities At June 30, 2017, the Company and its U.S. subsidiaries have a Loan and Security Agreement, as amended, (the “Loan Agreement”) with The Private Bank and Trust Company (“Private Bank”). The Loan Agreement provides a revolving credit facility with a maturity date of July 20, 2019. The aggregate amount of the facility is $25,000. The maximum borrowing available to the Company under the Loan Agreement is limited to: (1) 85% of eligible receivables; plus (2) 50% of eligible inventory valued at the lower of cost or market subject to a $17,500 limit; plus (3) 80% of eligible used equipment, as defined, valued at the lower of cost or market subject to a $2,000 limit. At June 30, 2017, the maximum the Company could borrow based on available collateral was capped at $25,000. At June 30, 2017, the Company had borrowed $13,235 The Loan Agreement provides that the Company can opt to pay interest on the revolving credit at either a base rate plus a spread, or a LIBOR rate plus a spread. The base rate spread ranges from 0.25% to 1.00% depending on the Senior Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Loan Agreement).

Debt Disclosure [Abstract]
Convertible Notes	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 were 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 that is not tax deductible. As of June 30, 2017, the note had a remaining principal balance of $6,932 and an unamortized discount of $568. The difference between current unamortized discount and the $893 initially recorded represents $325 of amortization of excess discount.

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.

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.

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 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 PM lawsuits in conjunction with the accounting for this acquisition .

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	16. Income Taxes For the three months ended June 30, 2017, the Company recorded an income tax (benefit) of $(23), which included a discrete income tax provision of $21. The calculation of the overall income tax benefit primarily consists of anticipated federal, state and local, and foreign taxes. For the three months ended June 30, 2016, the Company recorded an income tax (benefit) of $(2,051) which consisted primarily of anticipated federal, state and local, and foreign taxes. The Company recorded an income tax expense (benefit) of $86 and $(109) for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively . The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2017 was 1.7% compared to 44.6% in the comparable prior period. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2017 differs from the U.S. statutory rate of 35% primarily due to the mix of domestic and foreign earnings, state and local taxes, and an increase in deferred tax liabilities related to indefinite-lived intangible assets. The Company’s provision for income taxes consists of U.S. and foreign taxes in amounts necessary to align the Company’s year-to-date tax provision with the effective rate that the Company expects to achieve for the full year. Each quarter the Company updates its estimate of the annual effective tax rate and records cumulative adjustments for changes in estimate as necessary. The 2017 estimated annual effective tax rate inclusive of a valuation allowance is based upon the Company’s anticipated earnings both in the U.S. and in foreign jurisdictions. The Company’s total unrecognized tax benefits as of June 30, 2017 and 2016 were approximately $983 and $936 which, if recognized, would affect the Company’s effective tax rate. Included in the unrecognized tax benefits is a liability for the PM Group’s potential IRES and IRAP audit adjustments for the tax years 2009 – 2013. In July 2017, the Company received notification from the Internal Revenue Service that its tax return for the year ended December 31, 2015 has been selected for examination. While it is often difficult to predict the outcome or the timing of resolution of any particular tax matter, the Company believes its liability at June 30, 2017 for unrecognized tax benefits is adequate. Favorable resolution of an unrecognized tax benefit could be recognized as a reduction in tax provision and effective tax rate in the period of resolution. Unfavorable settlement of an unrecognized tax benefit could increase the tax provision and effective tax rate and may require the use of cash in the period of resolution.

Organization Consolidation And Presentation Of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	2. Basis of Presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements, included herein, have been prepared by the Company without audit pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. Pursuant to these rules and regulations, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements which are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals, except as otherwise disclosed) necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income and cash flows as of the dates and for the periods presented. The consolidated balances as of December 31, 2016 were derived from audited financial statements but do not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting standards for interim financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2016. For further information, refer to the consolidated audited financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations expected for the year.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts	Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Accounts receivable are stated at the amounts the Company’s customers are invoiced and do not bear interest. Accounts receivable is reduced by an allowance for amounts that may become uncollectible in the future. The Company’s estimate for the allowance for doubtful accounts related to trade receivables includes evaluation of specific accounts where the Company has information that the customer may have an inability to meet its financial obligations. The Company had allowances for doubtful accounts of $63 and $7 at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.
Inventory Valuation	Inventory consists of stock materials and equipment stated at the lower of cost (first in, first out) or net realizable value. 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.
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. 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.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition Revenue and related costs are recognized when title passes and risk of loss passes 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.
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. The PM Group is the only entity within the Company that currently has any interest rate swap contracts. These contracts have been determined not to be hedge instruments under ASC 815-10.
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 make an estimate of the amount of liability based, in part, on the advice of legal counsel.
Income Taxes	Income Taxes The Company’s provision for income taxes consists of U.S. and foreign taxes in amounts necessary to align the Company’s year-to-date tax provision with the effective rate that the Company expects to achieve for the full year. Each quarter the Company updates its estimate of the annual effective tax rate and records cumulative adjustments as necessary. The effective tax rate is based upon the Company’s anticipated earnings both in the U.S. and in foreign jurisdictions.
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 stockholder’s equity. Currently, the only comprehensive income adjustment is the foreign currency translation adjustment, the result of consolidating its foreign subsidiaries.
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.
Equity Investment in ASV Holdings, Inc.	Equity Investment in ASV Holdings, Inc. The Company is accounting for its 21.2% investment in ASV Holdings by equity method of accounting under which the Company’s share of the net income (loss) of the ASV Holdings is recognized as income (loss) in the Company’s statement of operations and added to investment account, and dividends received from ASV Holdings will be treated as a reduction of the investment account. ASV Holdings’ earnings are recorded on a one quarter lag as ASV Holdings is now a public company and may not report earnings in time to be included in the Company’s financial statements. As such, the investment in ASV Holdings has not been adjusted for earnings subsequent to the sale of portion of the Company’s investment in ASV Holdings, which occurred on May 17, 2017. The Company owns 2,080,000 Common Shares of ASV Holdings, which had a market value on June 30, 2017 of $16,952 based on a closing price of $8.15.
Reclassification	Reclassification Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year’s consolidated financial statements to conform to the current year’s presentation.
