Assessing crane safety, technology and demand in Asia

From nuclear power in China to mining infrastructure in Australia, the Asia-Pacific region is one of the few parts of the world to have seen sustained demand for lifting equipment and services in the past three years.  Cranes Today’s second Cranes Asia conference will help you identify where demand for cranes is at its strongest, help you plan lifting operations safely and train multinational lifting crews effectively.  It will bring you the latest research into rope and rigging technology.

Since its successful launch in 2009, the programme and focus of Cranes Asia has been heavily revised.  Building on feedback from industry leaders, Cranes Today have developed a programme focusing heavily on expert advice and guidance, not product promotion.

This year’s event, on Wednesday 7 and Thursday 8 September 2011 at the Novotel Hotel in Clarks Quay, combines all you need to know on safety, technology and the regional market for lifting equipment and services.

This unique event will offer an overview of market trends and drivers and evaluate specific technical challenges facing the industry today and include an assessment of:

• Best practice in lifting operations, by providing a regulator’s perspective
  
  
• Training and accreditation challenges: communicating best practice in lifting operations
  
  
• The Asian construction industry alongside economic developments to better determine the scope of investment opportunities in the region
  
  
• The current position of the Asian crane industry and its potential for growth through analysis of current sales and rental use figures
