Each year, Crane & Hoist Canada’s annual photo contest shines a light on the country’s heavy lifting industry – and this year, we’ve succeeded in that goal quite literally, thanks to a stunning, sunny shot from Calgary, Alberta’s McIntyre Crane & Rigging.
Submissions were diverse, with a wide range of cranes, lifts and subjects featured across every photo – but, as you’ll see across the following pages, one thing they all shared was their outstanding quality.
This installment of the contest also marked the second year of collaboration between Crane & Hoist and the Canadian Crane Rental Association (CCRA), with the CCRA’s executive director, Claire Bélanger-Parker, serving on the judging panel and sharing her industry expertise on what makes a lift safe, stunning, and most importantly, deserving of the cover-star crown.
“This was the CCRA’s second time participating in the judging panel for the photo contest, and the task was challenging due to the exceptional number of high-quality entries,” said Bélanger-Parker. “Ultimately, the judges unanimously agreed that Guay Inc.’s submission stood out as the winning photo, thanks to its excellent composition, framing, and overall quality.”
The CCRA is the primary nationally structured Canadian crane association that represents crane rental companies, crane owners, manufacturers, and suppliers to the Canadian crane industry.
