Iowa Mold Tooling Co. Inc. has added a 32 tonne-meter crane to its articulating crane lineup. Rated 222,050 ft.-lbs., the 32/222 knuckleboom crane features a maximum lifting capacity of 15,058 lbs. at a radius of 14'9". The crane offers a 69'7" horizontal reach with eight hydraulic extensions. 

On Thurs., Nov. 13, the SAF-T Webinar returns with a presentation that will explore how serious games teach and train those working on job sites using heavy equipment like forklifts and aerial lifts in new ways that are effective and engaging.

Andrew Czarnietzki, a product designer for Serious Labs, will talk about the process that went into the company's new jobsite safety orientation game, Life Rules. He will talk about the challenges involved in breaking down the initial concept and how those challenges shaped the prototyping phase. He will also share how the prototype has guided the development of the game, which applies to a number of applications like construction and oilfield work, and how iteration has been key to creating a product that effectively communicates training content through an engaging experience.

Educational events are the highlight of the Crane & Rigging and Industrial Crane & Hoist Conferences, but attendees are also given opportunities to connect with their peers and industry suppliers. 

The event, which takes place Dec. 3-4 at the Hilton NASA Clear Lake in Houston, includes networking breakfasts and lunches on both days, numerous brakes, and a reception on Dec. 3. The exhibition area gives attendees the opportunity to learn about the latest products and services available for crane and rigging professionals. Exhibition hours are sprinkled throughout the event, held concurrently with meals, breaks, and the reception.
