important information for us”, explains Fabio Potestà, organizer of the event, “since in the next edition we will try to intensify our commercial efforts precisely in those geographical areas and business sectors that turned out to be the ‘weakest’. We are satisfied with the results, both in
terms of exhibitors and visitors - continues Potestà - as we reached almost 5,000 admissions, more than double the number of the first edition, in 2016. A significant figure, also taking into account the fact that other exhibitions were held at the same time and the weather conditions in certain geographical areas, which certainly had an impact on attendance. With the GIC, Italy finally has a specialised event dedicated to the entire concrete sector, with international appeal, judging by the interest it generates also abroad: it is no coincidence that every organiser of a major foreign exhibition grasped the opportunity to visit our event. The aggregates category also received numerous visitors, since inert materials constitute 80% of concrete. In general - concludes Potestà - visitors were professionals interested in the specific sector; the top management of the largest Italian cement factories also attended. The successful outcome of the event is the result of our strategic choice to make the exhibition a highly specialized event”. The 22 conferences were also very
successful. Visitors also appreciated the two shows organised by the Istituto Italiano del Calcestruzzo (Italian Concrete Institute) with the title “Concretezza” [”Concreteness”] in Hall 3: two single-theme, indepth shows dedicated to two of the most important Italian designers: “The work of Pier Luigi Nervi in the photographs of Mario Carrieri” and “Sergio Musmeci: The bridge over the Basento”. As is now tradition, the Gala Dinner
organised in the evening of Friday, November 9 concluded with the presentation of the ICTA - Italian Concrete Technology Awards, in the sumptuous Picture Gallery of the Collegio Alberoni in Piacenza: thirteen awards presented to representatives of companies who have distinguished themselves in the sector.

held on October 29-31, 2020, once more in Piacenza. For more information:

STAHL AS7 Electric Wire Rope Hoist Expands Columbus McKinnon’s Advanced Product Portfolio for U.S. Customers
> Columbus McKinnon Corporation (NASDAQ: CMCO), a leading designer and manufacturer of motion control products, technologies, and services for material handling, offers the AS7 electric wire rope hoist as an addition to its advanced hoist product portfolio. STAHL CraneSystems, a wholly owned subsidiary of Columbus McKinnon, developed the AS7 as a cost-effective, specialized solution for users, crane manufacturers, and system manufacturers. “As part of Columbus McKinnon’s wire
rope hoist product family, the AS7 modular system offers practically unlimited component combinations to produce ideal application solutions for our Channel Partners,” said Carlos Bassa, North America product manager, wire rope hoists. “Minimal-maintenance components are optimally matched to provide continuous productivity, high efficiency, and long service life.” The AS7 is assembled with German-made
components in two designs, a deck mount configuration for stationary hoisting or towing equipment and a double girder trolley configuration for double girder overhead traveling cranes. Both designs have a maximum load capacity of 85 tons, with customization available for higher capacities upon request. The AS7 is also available in a twin drum configuration, which serves the same applications, but offers a load capacity up to 135 tons, greater lifting height, faster hoisting speed, and precise load positioning. Also available, the ASR7, a smaller version
of the AS7, is designed for a safe working load range from 20 to 35 tons. Providing a compact construction and short approach, the AS7 and ASR7 are ideal for use in restricted spaces. A variety of models and trolley options for
the AS7 and ASR7 wire rope hoist systems can be tailored to specific requirements for stationary hoisting or towing equipment. Options to further customize these wire rope hoist systems include pendant pushbutton controls, radio remote controls, emergency hoist limit switch, SMC multicontroller, load display, signal transmitters, brake release device, rope drum brake, and adjustable frequency drives. These options boost productivity, extend service life, and customize the hoist to specific requirements.
made AS7 designs with lifting technology and components that comply with ATEX and IECEx approvals for EX Zone 1, Zone 2, Zone 21, or Zone 22 hazardous locations. ATEX compliance, required in the European Union, certifies that the AS7 is safe to use in potentially explosive areas with flammable gases or dust. IECEx equipment certification signifies that the AS7 conforms to international safety standards for environments where a potential exists for explosions. All equipment for the AS7 is available in an explosion-proof design. To learn more about the AS7 electric wire
