COMMENT
Hello and welcome… A
s the new editor of Hoist, I am delighted to welcome you to this edition, packed with insights into the ever-evolving world of lifting and handling. From the complexities of
offshore lifting to the latest in industrial construction, this issue reflects the dynamic nature of our industry and the challenges it continues to tackle head-on. Offshore lifting operations push the boundaries of engineering and safety, presenting a unique set of difficulties compared to their land-based counterparts. Julian Champkin delves into these challenges, exploring the dangers and the innovations that mitigate them. The world of below-the-hook devices is vast and
varied. Whether powered or unpowered, these essential tools shape the efficiency and safety of lifting operations. Julian also investigates the latest developments in this field, shedding light on the incredible range of attachments available. When it comes to wire rope, documentation is crucial. Understanding what records to expect or provide with cut lengths is key to maintaining safety and compliance.
