The annual JDL Expo - Journée de Levage - work at height and lifting equipment show was held last week in Beaune France.
The first day started busily, but seemed to grow a little quieter as the day progressed. Day two and three suffered from the rain, but crane and access people still turned out in good numbers to see the latest new product launches. Here is a brief photo review from the event.
