With the event taking place this month, we’re proud to be an official media partner for the LiftEx 2025 show. As we pride ourselves on keeping the lifting industry up to date on the latest news and market, this issue of Hoist goes one step further to shine a spotlight on this year’s event. We feature an essential guide to some of the exhibitors showcasing their products and demonstrating their expertise. We also outline what to expect from this year’s award show.
Safety and training is paramount, and often goes hand in hand. In this issue, Julian Champkin examines the rules, regulations and best practices that have been developed to prevent accidents and the importance of staying vigilant. Meanwhile, we explore the importance of training in heavy lifting. A properly trained operator, as Champkin reports, is a safe one.
In this month’s CEO diaries, Gaz Pickering, director of Chesterfield Crane Company, talks us through his experience in the industry and what shaped him into the industry leader he is today. Also in this issue, our latest project of the month features the Liverpool tech firm CoreRFID to find out about their latest investment in Apple Vision Pro to develop a world-first VR system for industrial safety inspections.
We hope you enjoy this edition of Hoist and I look forward to seeing you all at this year’s LiftEx!
