The annual meeting of the International Crane Stakeholders Assembly (ICSA) was held at CONEXPO in Las Vegas recently.
This year marked the sixth meeting of the Assembly bringing together industry users and manufacturers from around the world to address key issues impacting the crane and rigging industry. During the all-day meeting, users and manufacturers split up into two sets of morning sessions and reconvened in the afternoon to review key items of importance to the crane industry worldwide, including:
- ESTA’s European Crane Operator License Project
- CICA’s Operator Competency Program – CrewSafe
- Cranes on Floating Barges
- Report on FEM/ESTA 2017 Wind Summit
- Stability Calculations for Long Boom Systems and Wind Effects
- EN13000
- New York City Safety Bills Under Consideration
- Methods for calculating wire rope reeving system limits
- Erecting Wind Turbines: Access roads and hard stands
The next ICSA meeting is scheduled for 9 November 2017, in conjunction with KHL’s World Crane & Transport Summit in Amsterdam.
