Whether you work with mobile or overhead cranes, there are always opportunities to gain greater productivity and safety records through training and the application of new technologies. Both the Crane & Rigging Conference and Industrial Crane & Hoist Conference offer safety personnel, fleet and facility managers, as well as operators an independent forum where crane users and suppliers can debate the real-world dynamics of working with this equipment
CRC and ICHC will be held in conjunction with Reach Expo 2010. This two-day exposition allows suppliers of rigging gear, training services, software products, and other crane-related components and accessories to show their latest products and services.

Produced by Maximum Capacity Media, publishers of Crane Hot Line, Industrial Lift and Hoist, and Lift and Access magazines, the CRC and ICHC Conferences and Reach Expo 2010 will be held at the Crown Plaza Houston/North Greenspoint (with free shuttle service), conveniently located just eight miles from George Bush International Airport. Houston offers the advantage of proximity to major construction and heavy industrial complexes, and it is also home to extensive theater and museum districts, NASA’s Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center, and teams for nearly every professional sport.
Peter Cooke of Columbus McKinnon will share insight on OSHA and ANSI safety topics as they pertain to hoist and crane operations. CM recently gathered more than 100 common questions asked by crane, hoist operators, and inspectors. With the assistance of OSHA and ASME members, these questions were translated based on current industry regulations and standards. Highlights from that research will be shared.
