While there was a lot going at CONEXPO in Las Vegas, Nev., there was a lot of other activity going on to shape the future of cranes and lifting devices.
“It was a pleasure connecting with our members at CONEXPO, the largest construction trade show in North America,” states Claire Bélanger-Parker, the Executive Director of the Crane Rental Association of Canada (CRAC), adding that the massive construction show coincided with the International Crane Stakeholders Assembly meeting.

Attended by CRAC’s Trevor Eckert, Chair of the Board, Paul Walchuk, Chair of the Technical Committee and Bélanger-Parker, they met alongside representatives from Europe (ESTA), Australia (CICA) and the U.S. (SC&RA) to discuss common issues impacting the industry, agreeing to collaborate on the preparation of a white paper on the technical assessment of the machinery directive, “concerning cranes and lifting devices near energized power lines and the revision of three existing guidance manuals,” states Bélanger-Parker.
