“T
here is a real need in our industry for a one-stop reference guide that can be used by our members and users alike to navigate through the many safety and inspection requirements in manufacturing, selling, owning and operating lifting equipment,” says Ken Greenwood, Chairman of LEEASA (Lifting Engineering Equipment Association of SA).
“Having had a long history of putting together a bi-annual Lifting Guide, together with Promech Publishing, publishers of “Bulk Handling Today”, we intend the revised issue of the Guide (2016/2017) to be a comprehensive and a deKen Greenwood Chairman of LEEASA finitive publication, so much so that I would have no hesitation in recommending it as an authoritative self-standing training manual in our industry,” Ken adds. “This is an important mouthpiece for LEEASA as the only dedicated annual guide we endorse. It will be an accessible and clear guide on everything you need to know about lifting engineering equipment.”
The Guide will include: An in-depth explanation of the Regulations governing the lifting industry Clear information on which standards apply to the industry and how to interpret any grey areas Broad guidelines for manufacturers of lifting equipment and how to address safety concerns in this arena. Information on maintenance: inspection criteria, intervals and accompanying documentation Updated information on the various types of lifting equipment on the market.

An accessible and clear guide on how to grow your business through export
E
ngineers receive a broad education in the nuts and bolts of machinery, equipment and systems but not much attention is paid to the commercial aspects of running an engineering concern.
“Engineering World”, a new annual publication being produced by Promech Publishing, in co-operation with the SACEEC (SA Capital Equipment Export Council), will serve to make financial and commercial decisions easier for engineers to make. The publication will focus on the export market but also on local content as a reliable tier of suppliers and supplier industries is vital to local manufacture. SACEEC will share its experience and expertise on a variety of elements that must be taken into account to become a successful exporter, such as:
Freight forwarding Tax matters Forward cover Deciding on what to sell to whom The culture and customs of the export destination country Building a robust supply chain The financial implications of exporting Marketing internationally Building a presence in the destination country Getting the correct legal advice. The SACEEC has assisted many companies in navigating the pitfalls of going over our borders. They remain committed to growing South African exports and have generously agreed to share their knowledge with the readers, in the interests of the country and our economy.
Eric Bruggeman, MD of SACEEC: “What you didn’t think to
ask? We trust that this first-of-its-kind publication will prompt capital equipment companies, who are contemplating the export route, to ask the right questions before setting off on what can only be described as an exciting and potentially lucrative journey.”
