The AIST Crane Symposium is the premier event in the steel and heavy-duty crane industry. It is designed to provide attendees with practical information based on actual experience in the form of short presentations, delivered by knowledgeable and experienced crane engineers, builders, mechanics and operators. The two-day program will cover a broad range of topics, including safe work practices and ergonomics, electrical, mechanical and structural maintenance techniques, crane inspection technologies, and best practices in EOT crane modernizations.

The symposium, held in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, will also feature the Charlie Totten Crane Innovator Award, recognizing the individual who has brought forth the latest in technology or increased efficiencies in operational and maintenance practices for the continuous improvement of heavy industrial cranes. This award will be presented to the winner as part of the symposium program.

The AIST Crane Symposium is the ideal event for exhibitors to showcase their products and services to an audience that is 100% involved with and interested in heavy-duty electric overhead cranes. Attendees will gain valuable insights and knowledge that will help them make their cranes and runways the safest, most reliable, and durable machinery and equipment in the industry.
