The conference will run alongside an exhibition – Reach Expo – and the Crane & Rigging Conference, to which Hoist’s sister title Cranes Today has signed, also as international media partner.

“I am excited by the prospect of working closely with Maximum Capacity Media both in the short- and long-term future. It is an outstanding US-based cranes publisher with tremendous outreach to the end user markets of the Americas,” said Richard Howes, editor, Hoist.

“In our quest to engage end user communities and promote the sharing of information for continued improvement of industry best practices, we share much in common.

“I am confident that the conference will represent a timely opportunity for delegates and exhibitors alike to ensure they are best placed to thrive in the revitalised marketplace.

“I look forward to working with Maximum Capacity Media’s staff and customers as the Reach Expo, Crane & Rigging Conference and the Industrial Crane & Hoist Conference take shape.”
