“ I hear more and more people in our industry referring to an article or advertisement they have seen in Cranes and Lifting magazine. The quality and popularity of the magazine have grown exponentially, and I believe it is now a world leading publication for the crane industry… Cranes and Lifting are sponsors of the CICA Lift of the Year Awards and the CICA Photo of the year. This support demonstrates their commitment to celebrating innovation and achievement in the crane industry.”

“The team at Cranes and Lifting magazine (CAL) are so committed to what they do. They work incredibly hard to develop relationships with our members and that dedication goes a long way.
