Hiab World Crane Championship 2016
Hiab presents for the second time the World Crane Championship, the ultimate test of precision, accuracy and nerves of steel. The competition is being held in recognition of the highly skilled crane operators from around the world who perform demanding jobs
daily.
Timekeeping begins with the crane properly parked. With a load suspended from the hook, you must proceed past a number of drums, pass under a height limit and lower the load into a barrel. Next you topple a number of drums around the course with the load, while other drums may absolutely not be touched at all. The clock stops when the crane is once again parked, and the indicator lamp lights up, showing that it is properly parked.
Whoever is crowned World Crane Champion will walk away with a €5,000 travel
cheque and €20,000 towards the purchase of a new Hiab crane.
Qualifying rounds begin during 2016, qualifying competitions will be held in countries around the world. Stay tuned on this site to get information on when and where the next qualification round is.
The winner from each country immediately qualifies to enter the final at the IAA Commercial Vehicles Show in Hanover 22nd – 29th of September 2016.
