Whilst compiling this issue it occurred to me that there are parallels between producing the magazine and some of themes of the features in it... In the rope feature (p52), for example, we write about how,
in 1831, Wilhelm Albert twisted wires into strands and then strands into ropes to create the world's first steel wire rope. Likewise this magazine, a pioneer as the industry's original
title, brings together different threads of the lifting and moving world, through both our editorial and advertising, to create a cohesive, strong line of communication. In the technology feature (p42) feature writer Julian
Champkin explores various threads of the digital revolution and how they are linked; he touches on the overlap between different areas and how technology is increasingly benefitting both jobsite and planet. The counterpart with the magazine also centres around the
overlap of sectors. Our monthly sector reports shouldn't be read in isolation; they regularly cross-reference each other and it's then that omnipresent themes – such as technology, environment, safety, and efficiency – emerge.

And, as a mirror of the industry we report on, diversity runs throughout Cranes Today – from the subjects we cover to the way we cover them. It's diversity that makes the industry strong, especially now with the return of large international trade show; having so many similar but different interests all in one place makes it easier for people to connect, communicate and hopefully inspire each other. See you in Vegas!
