Crane and Hoist’s December edition closes out 2023 by looking at what’s next: we feature the rising stars across the country who are pushing the industry forward in our annual Top 10 Under 40, while also taking a look at 3D modelling technology’s impacts on the future of crane operations, and how proper maintenance today can positively impact tomorrow’s performance.

From operations to engineering, mechanics to marketing: Crane and Hoist’s 2023 Top 10 Under 40 covers the next generation of the heavy lifting sector from every corner and coast, along with the talents and techniques that got them where they are today.

Matt Reeves spoke with Bruce Kabalen of A1A Software to discuss how their 3D Lift Plan suite became the crane industry’s standard for 3D mapping software, the advances that have kept them in that spot, and the paths to further innovation that the company is considering.

Emily Newton outlines five simple steps and software solutions that crane owners and operators can leverage when it comes to maintenance and condition monitoring, and the impacts that each can have on your machines’ performance and productivity.

Happy reading – and happier holidays!
