In this month’s CEO diaries, we speak to Hanna Landell, CEO and head of sales at Åkerströms, about how being an industry leader is about clear directon, building trust and transpercy. We find out what leadership means to her and what makes Åkerströms stand out on page 12.
On page 8, we highlight how Lootah Lemmens delivered a bespoke low-headroom overhead crane system for a high-specification maintenance facility in The Hague, overcoming tight spatial constraints while ensuring precision, safety and long-term reliability.
Manual hoists may seem old-fashioned in an age dominated by powered equipment, yet they remain surprisingly valuable. On page 20, Julian Champkin explores why manual chain hoists continue to hold their own in a rapidly advancing industry. Meanwhile, as demand for minerals continues to rise – driven by energy security concerns and economic growth – mining operations are being pushed deeper than ever before. On page 28, we examine why safety and efficiency have never been more critical for hoisting equipment in the mining sector.
I hope you enjoy this latest edition of Hoist as the industry continues to evolve, innovate and move forward in these turbulent times.
