Werner Wagner too, Managing Director of STAHL CraneSystems, is satisfied: “The response was extremely good. We were able to underline clearly our claim to be a premium brand. We got this message through to the market. Crane building experts from all around the world – from Australia to Tierra del Fuego – got together on our stand.”

The stand’s main focus was on high-quality technology. STAHL CraneSystems deliberately exhibited engineering solutions, i.e. hoists adapted for specific requirements – the company’s trademark. The highlight on the stand was the AS 7 ZW twin hoist. Mounted on its three metre high steel structure, it towered above the stand and caught the eye of approaching visitors. “The AS 7 ZW lifts loads of up to 120 tonnes but is even so relatively compact,” Thomas Kraus, head of the STAHL CraneSystems Support Centre, explained.
Apart from the AS 7 ZW all hoists were wired up and operational: chain hoists with extremely short headrooms or particularly high hoisting speeds, explosion-protected hoists and the STD dual chain hoist with two hooks running in synch. A wide flight of steps led visitors to the
1.20 m high platform which made up the main part of the stand. From this vantage point, all products were easily accessible and able to be appraised at eye level.
The noughts and crosses game was very popular: instead of using pencil and paper, visitors had to operate a radio-controlled dual chain hoist and tried to set down alternating blue and orange balls in rows of three – great fun for all the guests, whether they were apprentices or crane building experts.

STAHL CraneSystems’ slogan “Partner of Experts” characterises its cooperation with crane building and systems manufacturing experts from all over the world. As a manufacturer of high-quality hoists and crane components, STAHL CraneSystems concentrates on technology. Qualified crane building experts in the various regions take on consulting, design and building the crane systems. STAHL CraneSystems regards itself as partner of crane building experts all over the world. This close relationship has over recent years given rise to an efficient international network of experts.
