Biggest GIS so far
The Giornate Italiane del Sollevamento or Italian Lifting Days as it is in Englsih – is currently underway in Piacenza and is by far the largest GIS so far, with 300 exhibitors showing cranes, aerial lifts, telehandlers, port equipment and heavy transport trailers.
The show has now easily surpassed Saie in Bologna for lifting equipment, and could attract between 10 and 15,000 visitors. While the number of new products on display is limited - due more to the time of year than anything else - there is still plenty to see and a good deal of news.
The following are just a few photos from day one and two to give you a flavour of the event, we will add a few more to this report tomorrow. The show runs through Saturday afternoon .
