Friday round up: Award winners; orders down; conference highlights; cranes in nature
25 April 2025
As the crane and specialized transport industry reflects on the success and vibrant energy of the recent Bauma 2025 tradeshow, another week has swiftly passed.

This week we covered the latest and greatest developments across the sector - from the winners of the ESTA Awards of Excellence and the current state of USA crane orders to breakthrough crane automation technology and fleet expansions by key industry players.
On Wednesday our focus turned to the SC&RA Annual Conference, currently taking place in Arizona, USA. We provided a comprehensive overview of the event, including the expert speaker line-up, committee meetings, and details about the sold-out Exhibit Center.
Then on Thursday we showcased standout entries from Sterling Crane USA’s photography competition, which invited employees to capture cranes at work in some of the American West’s most striking natural landscapes. It’s a timely reminder that our industry doesn’t just build through nature - it works in harmony with it.
