International Crane Conference at BANG Crane Systems

When the 5th International Crane Conference began at BANG in Oelsnitz, over 300 guests from around 20 nations arrived. Experts from across the crane industry came together, and many also took the opportunity for personal discussions and new exchanges.

Furthermore, it immediately became apparent how much the industry relies on cooperation.

Insights into high-end crane technology

BANG Crane Systems presented process cranes and overhead cranes that are developed and produced in Germany. This allowed visitors to see how modern solutions for material flow and automation are created.

Furthermore, suppliers presented key components, allowing both users and developers to discuss many details. It also became clear that the family-owned company BANG in Vogtland has been committed to high quality for years.

Innovations at the ROTEC trade fair booth

ROTEC showcased its latest ROPESYS systems for mobile and permanent magnetic rope testing on crane systems. The experts explained how non-destructive testing is carried out today and how quickly measurement data can be processed.

Consequently, numerous discussions arose about modern standards and new applications.

Lecture by Dr. Martin Wehr

In his technical presentation, Dr. Martin Wehr from ROTEC presented the safety and economic advantages of modern magnetic rope testing systems for crane systems.

He presented advances in magnetic rope testing and explained how artificial intelligence improves diagnostics. He also demonstrated how real-time data supports the assessment of rope lifespan.

Martin presented the content in his usual factual and practical manner, resulting in an open exchange with many questions from the audience.

Exchange and evening event

Throughout the day, many professional discussions deepened, and new contacts were made. In the evening, BANG also hosted a show featuring a female artist performing acrobatic feats high above the ground, suspended from a crane hook inside a hoop.

This gave the conference a special atmosphere, as technology and art came together in an unexpected way.

Conclusion of the event

The 5th International Crane Conference at Bang brought together people, ideas, and technologies. The conference also demonstrated the importance of modern testing methods and high-quality process cranes for the future of the industry.

Ultimately, the event remained inspiring for many participants because it meaningfully combined practice, research, and exchange.

ROTEC – we make ropes safe.
