Ricky Pickup – Technical Trainer at STAHL CraneSystems

1. What do you hope attendees will gain at your webinar?

Through globalization we are continuously confronted with challenges about threats of explosions from overhead crane systems that aren’t necessarily on our own front door, so we are looking to meet customer’s needs often in another country. I hope to offer some insight and understanding of how the areas of industry look on a global scale and clear-up some of the confusion that comes with so many different industry standards.

2. What discussions do you look forward to having with the attendees?

We are constantly confronted with challenges in this field, different national regulations and customer needs require a high level of adaptability, I am always interested to hear how others have found solutions and their experience from the field.

3. What do you enjoy most about your role?

The opportunity to be involved in projects in all corners of the world and working with the teams to find the solutions for the customer’s needs in a continuously developing industry keeps everyday interesting.

4. How did you get into the industry?

After working in construction in the mining industry this was a section that really caught my attention. To start out with one of the industry leaders in the area of overhead crane systems and components was an exciting challenge that made the decision an easy one.

5. Where is your favourite place in the world and why?

There are so many amazing places to just pick one is almost impossible but one spot that will always stick with me was a visit to Traverse City and the surrounding areas. On the top end of lake Michigan, I found the people incredibly friendly and a picture-perfect scenery.
