The event was sold out with more than 400 attendees representing all sectors of the Spanish lifting equipment related market.

Vertikal Comment
It was a sheer pleasure to so many happy people from the industry, suppliers, rental companies and competitors all clearly pleased to meet up and talk and rekindle friendships and compare notes on the industry. To see such positivity within the overall crane and access industry was pure joy.
An excellent event that gains much from the sheer energy and positivity of its leader, a real force of nature - Macarena García Oliver. We salute her.
