[INDUSTRY NEWS]
business G. van Harten B.V. The share transfer was formalized last Friday. Peinemann is an international service
provider in the world of horizontal, vertical and road transport with an annual turnover of € 200 million and 850 employees. Peinemann rents and sells a wide range of equipment and offers maintenance and personnel services. “We are very happy with this addition to
our service package,” says Ad Kornet, CEO of Peinemann. “G. van Harten specializes in industrial relocations and has lift systems of up to 1,100 tonnes at its disposal. Peinemann works worldwide, from Dubai to New Orleans. We have international ambitions to put the unique knowledge and skills of G. van Harten on the map, where they are not yet active. Moreover, we are also a family business, a size larger, but the cultures fit well together.” G. van Harten is a healthy family
business that was founded in 1986 by Gert van Harten. As a mechanic he gained a lot of experience with lift work at Mammoet. From a living room converted into a canteen, the now 72-year-old Gert started the adventure with an old car, a trailer, a toolbox and hoist with two temporary workers. His wife took care of all hand and care services. He has always financed the growth of his
company from his own resources. That is why the company is a strong specialist wells known in the Netherlands with renowned clients such as Qirion (formerly Liandon), Royal Dutch Mint, Upfield and Bruil. “I look forward to build on growth
together with Peinemann,” says Judith van Harten, daughter of founder Gert and manager of the company. “We are too small to have everything in-house, while the market is becoming more demanding and requires more investment. Together we can handle more and larger projects. For example, we have transported a complete asphalt plant in parts from Venlo in The Netherlands to Antwerp in Belgium and we are placing many transformers in residential areas for energy supply. “ According to Ad Kornet, the acquisition
is also good news for technical talents in the region. “Personnel is scarce and well-trained professionals choose attractive challenges. Now that G. van Harten is part of an international company, you can build an international career from Veenendaal. We are active in Europe, America and Africa. The van Harten family remains active
in the company after the acquisition. Both Judith van Harten and two cousins will leave a mark on the company. y

Certex UK Makes an Agreement to Offer the Most Advanced Steel Wire Rope Inspections
> Certex UK makes an agreement to offer the most advanced steel wire rope inspections, ensuring customers stay safe and are cost- effective in steel wire rope replacement. In late 2018, the Italian company AMC
Instruments became part of the Lifting Solutions Group, and a sister company to Certex UK. AMC offers devices which attaches to a
rope while in use and can monitor the health of the steel wire rope remotely. This system is ideal for crane rope and elevator rope and can even be included in harsh environments, such as offshore applications. As the device is internet enabled,
monitoring can take place at anytime and anywhere. This will assist customers in knowing
when a rope is no longer fit for use and in doing so allows steel wire rope to remain in use closer to the point of discard. This removes rudimentary estimates of the ropes working life. Further, all devices conform to the stated
method of inspection of ISO 4309:2017 (…Wire Ropes, Care and maintenance, inspection and discard) using magneto inductive waves. Measuring broken wires, diameter reduction and more. An agreement has been made between
AMC Instruments and Certex UK to distribute the solution throughout the UK. Watch a video of one of the devices in
action here:

A1A Software Integrates 3D Lift Plan and iCraneTrax
> A1A Software LLC, will demonstrate new features of its lift planning and fleet management tools, including integrations between the programs, at ConExpo-Con/ Agg, March 10-14, 2020 in Las Vegas, Nev. “3D Lift Plan is so much more than a lift
planning tool,” said Tawnia Weiss, President of A1A Software. “Connectivity between it and iCraneTrax gives crane owners, fleet managers, and safety departments greater control over job site intelligence,” she said. Integration allows users of both products to
save 3D Lift Plans to iCraneTrax job records, check the availability of a crane to be scheduled before selecting it for lift plan creation. “When used together, crane owners can improve fleet allocation and manage documentation for a customer and job in one place,” she said. Key features include the ability to:
• Attach 3D Lift Plan to a job record in iCraneTrax.
• Run a crane search in iCraneTrax fleet records, checking for availability against scheduled maintenance or other project allocation.
