Middle East Cranes 2008 provided a forum for everyone involved in the lifting industry to exchange ideas. As Mammoet’s Bryan Cronie noted, lifting firms may be ‘secret societies’ when it comes to commercial practices, but they should be open and keen to share their policies when safety is the issue.
The conference also hosted 22 exhibitors of cranes, crane equipment and services in the Middle East.
