2003 UK Hire Rates Survey out this week

The annual Cranes & Access HIre Rates Survey is published this week. The survey, our most in depth ever, questioned all major and many minor UK and Irish crane and aerial platform rental companies. They were asked what the past year had been like in terms of rates and fleet additions and what they were expecting for 2004. The results are perhaps surprising and show increasing confidence amongst UK buyers of lifting equipment.

The survey can be read in full in the printed version of C&A or on-line at www.Vertikal.net . Readers can download the entire magazine or read individual articles on-line.

This month's issue of "Cranes & Access" also features an exclusive interview with Pierre Saubot, CEO of Pinguely-Haulotte and Lev, the Hire Rates Survey, an extended news section and our Mast Climber and crawler crane features.
