W
elcome to the annual August special
issue with a focus on the specialized
transport side of our industry.
Included is the second major ranking of the
year, the Transport 50 listing of the world’s
largest specialized transport companies. I am
pleased to report positive highlights in this
year’s table, the ninth time it has run. With an
improvement on 2012’s steady progress the
message from 2013 is one of stronger growth and more positive
signs for further improvement.
While that in itself is encouraging, it is also good to note that
a proportion of that improvement is due to increased rental
activity and sales of machinery, including cranes and other large
construction and mining equipment, because they form the bulk
of the cargo carried by many of the T50 companies.
Like it did with the
IC
50 ranking for crane-owning companies
in June, global operator Mammoet retains its position at the top,
where it has been since the first T50 in 2005. It has increased its
capacity by 10 % on last year but closing up on it are ALE and
Sarens, both of which have moved up. More big gains were posted
by players in Europe and the USA. See the full story on page 15.
Continuing the transport theme is the second in a new series
of practical how-to articles to help improve safety in heavy
transport and lifting operations. Starting with the basics, industry
expert Marco van Daal uses his 20 years of experience to explain
specialized transport equipment types and terminology. See page 33.
Every year around now we seek out suitable candidates for the
TopLift contest. Ten projects will be selected and published in the
September issue of
IC
. Readers then vote for a favourite, the winner
being published in the December issue. There are no minimum or
maximum requirements for the scale of the TopLift projects but
they must involve lifting, be interesting and, ideally, technically
challenging, and they must have been carried out in the last 12
months. Feel free to make some suggestions.
