The annual ESTA Awards of Excellence took place during Bauma week, on Thursday 10th April at The Westin Grand Munich, Germany. The event was packed attracting
around 450 guests celebrating the best of European lifting and transport projects, innovations, and safety developments. The evening event took place following
a productive day of crane and specialised transport meetings. ESTA was also hosting the 2025 ICSA (International Crane Stakeholders Assembly) meeting – which highlighted many parallels in the challenges facing lifting and abnormal transportation companies whether in Europe, Australia, North America or Asia.

representation from the USA by the SC&RA and for Canada from Canadian Crane Rental Association (CCRA – formerly CRAC). Indeed, CCRA executive director
Claire Belanger-Parker was present with an expanded team of crane and transport specialists compared to when we reported on the Association at the end of 2021 (
