A call to arms

A UK crane rental company has called for a national meeting of all crane hire companies to help mount a campaign against current movement embargoes. The published letter is as follows:

The effects of the Roadway Embargo's / Routing on the Crane Hire Industry

Our industry as a whole seems to be enduring the same logistical nightmare surrounding Embargos/Routing, and seek suitable changes in legislation so the impracticalities they create, lessen the impact on our businesses and personnel.

I believe it's time to group together and discuss our options.

Vertikal Days 2024 is being held at Newark Showground on Wednesday 11th and Thursday 12th September, 2024. CPA will be holding a meeting, most likely to be on the 11th although yet to be confirmed. With us all in the same place at the same time, this would be the perfect opportunity to not only see the CPA's position on this, but, to voice our concerns and consider the approach or action we need to take.

The more support and discussion we have about this, the more likely we are to succeed in achieving change. Please forward this to all your respective contacts/connections within the industry, or to anyone you believe may want to join or help the cause.
We look forward to seeing as many of you as possible at the event, thank you.

Many Thanks,

Aba Crane Hire
