In this issue’s CEO diaries, Robert Desel discusses his role in the industry and the privilege of serving as CEO of Kito Crosby. On page 36, we find out what Desel loves about the industry, from its real-word impact to the diversity of the sector. As he explains, if you want a career that truly matters, this industry is the one to join.
The rise of digitalisation has introduced a number of emerging technologies to the hoist industry from AI, remotecontrol systems to real-time monitoring and automation. On page 14, we explore how these new technologies are redefining the future of hoist and unlocking new possibilities for the industry.
Traditional lifting equipment are prone to swaying, leading to accidents and damage, but with the onset of the digital age it also brought along with it anti-sway and collision avoidance systems, increasing efficiency and safety. On page 22, Julian Champkin investigates the advantages of anti-sway technology in the hoist industry.
Lastly, in this issue’s Project of the month, we hear from WH Scott Group about their latest acquisitions and expansions. Find out more on page 8.
I hope this month’s edition of Hoist provides valuable insight into the innovations and trends driving the lifting sector forward, as the industry continues to embrace smarter, safer and more sustainable solutions.
