Dec. /10 - VETTER Krantechnik

Ladies and gentlemen,
dear business friends,
We are delighted to have received such positive feedback to LIFT-it and are pleased to
present our third issue to you – just in time for the end of 2010.
The first few months of 2010 followed on uninterrupted from the difficult conditions of
2009, but we were glad to observe increasingly encouraging developments in the second
half of the year. The crane industry – one of the late starters of the entire
machine and plant construction industry – now finds itself once again on a distinctly
upward trend.
In this issue, you can read reports on the large offshore cranes we have supplied for a
platform off the Texan coast and the use of our load-turning devices in the concrete
industry. A special feature of this issue is our display tower which is now in situ at a
spectacular location for Formula 1 fans at Hockenheim. Moreover, you can take a look at
some more interesting applications, such as the use of a slewing jib crane on a hydraulic
excavator and an air separation plant, and catch up on news about our business
environment which we hope will be of interest to you.
Enjoy the read!
We wish you a Merry Christmas and a good start into the next year.
