I’ve known Marco since 1995. The international experience that he brings to the table benefits every level in a transport and/or lift organization, starting from the pre-engineering phase, to equipment selection, to logistics and execution. Not only is he a true asset to our industry but I consider him a personal friend as well.

Mission

Sharing knowledge !

My seminars, lectures, books and speaking engagements are all geared towards this objective.

I am very passionate about performing Heavy Transport & Lifts in a sound, engineered and justified way. Early in my career a superior once told me that we (our industry) can move and lift objects of almost any weight and size and execute the most impressive projects.

But…. if things do go wrong, they go wrong in a big way !!

Luckily we can learn from our errors, unluckily our industry does not allow many errors.

Performing a safe Heavy Transport and/or Lift is all about knowing the limits. Education, training and engineering is a continuous cycle in order to keep up to date with the latest technologies and developments and the safe application thereof.

This website, my seminars and master classes and my books and newsletters are dedicated to this mission.

WELCOME TO MY WORLD !!
