It's 10 years for Vertikal.Net
Vertikal.Net will celebrate the 10th anniversary of the very first story and photograph on Wednesday this week.
The very first story was posted on the German website on March 30th just before the start of the Bauma fair of that year. The subject? An interview with Leopold Mayrhofer, Geschäftsführer of Ring Lift – the group of independent rental companies that work together in Germany to offer their customers a national service.

The subject was Mayerhofer’s claim that the market for small electric scissor lifts up to 12 metres was saturated in Germany. The article is still online and available to read.
The first English language story went on line on April 3rd 2001 and concerned a joint venture between Dutch crane companies Mammoet and Hovago called Holift – which purchased a Manitowoc 999 during the exhibition.
In the nine months that remained of 2001 Vertikal posted only 64 stories on the young website – today that represents just one week’s volume.
Leigh, Mark and associates:
It's never as easy as it looks - and 10 years is quite the accomplishment!
Kudos and congratulations to everyone at vertikal.net, and for the great service and info you provide to the lift equipment industry and the many worldwide users of its products.
Here's to another 10 years (or 20, or 30) more!
Bravo!
