Mycrane franchisee for APAC

Online crane rental platform Mycrane, has signed a franchise agreement covering Singapore, Thailand and Indonesia.

The franchise has been taken by Singapore-based Allan Taylor, who Mycrane describes as, “an experienced executive who was previously employed at Mammoet and has extensive experience in the petroleum industry”.

Mycrane CEO and founder Andrei Geikalo, said, “We are delighted to welcome Allan at a time of great opportunity for those serving the thriving cranes and construction industry in Asia. APAC is often seen as an exciting region for business development – and with good reason.”

 According to Mycrane, APAC countries are expected to generate considerable activity for crane operators in the coming years. The construction industry in Indonesia, for example, is likely to record growth of 7.2% in real terms in 2022, surpassing pre-pandemic output levels, according to data and analytics company GlobalData. It also noted that the Indonesian government has allocated $27.1bn for infrastructure development including six new airports, 6,624km of railway and 205km of new road.
