Business Combination, Step Acquisition [Abstract]
Acquisitions	Disposals As part of our business strategy, Blueprint for Growth, in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 the Company started the process to sell its Tire Shredder business, its crane builder business, Crane Equipment and Service Inc., and Stahlhammer Bommern GmbH, its European forging business acquired in 2014 (the "Sold Businesses") as they were no longer considered part of the core business or a strategic fit with the Company's long-term growth and operational objectives. On December 28, 2018, the Company sold its Tire Shredder business and recognized a gain. On February 28, 2019, the Company sold the remaining two businesses, Crane Equipment and Service Inc. and Stahlhammer Bommern GmbH, and recognized a loss. As such, there are no remaining businesses which meet the criteria as being held for sale in accordance with ASC 360-10-45-9, "Property, Plant, and Equipment." The businesses were not deemed a strategic shift or significant to be considered discontinued operations. When businesses or asset groups meet the criteria as held for sale, they are recorded at the lesser of their carrying value or fair value less cost to sell. The Company recognized a gain on the sale of its Tire Shredder business in the amount of $1,059,000 during the twelve months ending March 31, 2019, a $44,000 decrease from the third quarter as a result of a final working capital adjustment. The Company recognized a loss on Crane Equipment and Service Inc., and Stahlhammer Bommern GmbH in the amount of $26,731,000 during the twelve months ended March 31, 2019, which is $1,022,000 less than the third quarter estimate primarily as a result of an increase in the previously estimated selling price for one of the businesses. The recognized loss of $26,731,000 recognized during fiscal 2019 includes an impairment loss on the Sold Businesses in the amount of $27,753,000 which was recorded through December 31, 2018. The impairment loss included a $6,174,000 reduction to goodwill, a $1,872,000 reduction to other intangible assets, a $12,830,000 reduction to property, plant, and equipment, and a $6,877,000 reduction to inventory. Both the gain and loss on sale of business were recorded in Net loss on sales of businesses, including impairment on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and was determined based on the selling price less carrying value, described further in Note 5. Additionally, net sales and pre-tax income (loss) before recognized gain or loss on sales for the three Sold Businesses was $34,195,000 and $3,623,000 for the twelve months ended March 31, 2019 and $38,299,000 and $1,373,000 for the twelve months ended March 31, 2018, respectively. In the twelve months ending March 31, 2020, the Company recognized an additional loss of $176,000 as a result of a final working capital adjustment. As part of its business strategy, the Company is consolidating its manufacturing footprint. The Company previously announced in fiscal 2019 the closure of its Salem, Ohio facility. In fiscal 2020 the Company announced that it plans to consolidate its hoist manufacturing facility in Lisbon, Ohio with its Wadesboro, North Carolina and Damascus, Virginia facilities in fiscal 2021. The Salem, Ohio facility consolidation was completed during the first quarter of fiscal 2020. In total $2,958,000 and $1,473,000 are included in Cost of products sold on the Consolidated Statements of Operations during the twelve months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, related to the consolidation of the Lisbon and Salem facilities. Costs incurred include accelerated depreciation, accelerated lease costs, severance and other payroll related costs, and a potential refund of a previously recorded tax credit which may need to be refunded to the state.
