There was a positive response to the new Amsterdam venue for the APEX 2014 access equipment exhibition held on 24 - 26 June, with good visitor numbers and a busy feel to the event.
More than 4400 people attended the eighth edition of the APEX exhibition - which was held on 24-26 June - with the numbers rising to 5500 when visitors to the neighbouring International Rental Exhibition (IRE) are included. Visitors registered for each show had free access to both shows.
Organised by BV Industrial Promotions International from Goor, the Netherlands, APEX 2014 is the world's largest dedicated access show, with more than 100 manufacturers and suppliers from all over the world attending.
The show took place with a backdrop of increased investment by rental companies, and this was evident in the number of deals sealed during the show. Exhibitors including Palfinger, Omme Lift, Ruthmann all reporting significant orders.
Attendees included CEO's and senior figures from the European and worldwide rental sector, including delegates attending the European Rental Association's annual convention. Representatives from Loxam, Cramo, Ramirent, United Rentals, Hewden, HSS and many more attended the show.
Snorkel's CEO, Darren Kell, said, "APEX has exceeded all expectations…Snorkel had a busy three days."
Stephan Kulawik, Managing Director at Palfinger Platforms, said, "During the exhibition we sold a lot of new machines to existing and new customers." He added that the Amsterdam location had been a success; "It is a popular city, with good infrastructure and the exhibition centre is bigger."
The Danish company Omme Lift attended APEX this year to launch a new 42m tracked boom, the Omme Lift 4200 RBDJ. Harry Lorentsen, Managing Director of Omme Lift, said, "For us APEX 2014 was a great show. The new 4200 received a lot of positive feedback and we took several orders for the machine, which we will begin delivering this autumn. APEX was different from other EU-shows in the last couple of years where there was a lot of positivity at the events, but afterwards not enough of it converted into actual interest in our products. However at APEX, we sold machines and received a lot of requests for machine demonstrations afterwards."
Rolf Kulawik, Managing Director of Ruthmann, said, "The APEX trade show in Amsterdam has just ended but we can already say that it was a resounding success as enthusiastic visitors from all over the world placed orders for STEIGER models in all categories. Many new contacts were established and we also had the opportunity to nurture our existing customer base. Our HEIGHT performance-STEIGER T 400 celebrated its world premiere at this year's APEX. This 2-axle, truck-mounted aerial work platform is equipped with a 40m working height and 31m lateral reach. As with the other siblings in this series - the T 380, T 460, T 540, T 630 and the T 720 - the most beneficial feature of the T 400 is the extraordinary length of the upper boom with its movable jib (RüSSEL). The sales launch of our next HEIGHT performance-model - the STEIGER T 480 - was a huge success as several sales agreements were finalized at APEX."
Richard Puglia, JLG business development and marketing director EAME, said, "It's been a very positive show and our customers have been very enthusiastic. There is optimism in the market and a lot of interest."
Independent Parts Specialists (IPS) exhibited at APEX 2014 in order to further expand its global presence. Richard Tindale, Sales & Marketing Director for IAPS Group, which owns IPS, explained, "APEX is the global market place for the powered access industry and was a great success for us. We met with a lot of well-established rental companies and dealers from all corners of the globe, who are very interested in our unique Parts Partner proposition." IPS will launch a new e-commerce website for convenient online parts ordering on 1st August 2014, which will include quick search capabilities via manufacturer, part type and specific machine model; as well as the option for instant payment via debit/credit card, or setting up an account.
The show, which is supported by the International Powered Access Federation (IPAF) and Access International magazine, is scheduled to return to Amsterdam in 2017, although the exact timing is still to be confirmed.
APEX/IRE fun-run raises € 3500 for charity
More than 50 runners raised € 3500 for the CliniClowns charity in the 5km fun-run held during the APEX and IRE exhibitions in Amsterdam last week. CliniClowns is an organisation that provides entertainment to children in hospital. An ambassador for the charity, Gepco van Bokhost, was handed the cheque by Tony Kenter, managing director of IPI, the exhibition organiser, on the final day of the exhibitions. Mr van Bokhorst said the funds would make an enormous contribution to the organisation's activities in hospitals all over the Netherlands. "We are very grateful for your support. Our entertainers are professional and they have an enormously positive impact on the children they see."
Sponsors of the event included JLG, Riwal (including Mr. Ledeboer), IPAF and its members, KHL, Bronto Skylift, the RAI Exhibition Centre, PG Trionic and IPI. IPI covered all the cost of the organisation of the event and made a further donation to the charity.

The Federal's pistol slid into its holster and his sabre flashed out. He threw its curved point up in a splendid salute. Ferry saluted with his straight blade. Then both swords rang back into their scabbards, and Jewett whirled away toward his column. For a moment we lingered, then faced to the left, trotted, galloped. Over the fence and into the road went he--went I. Down it, as we crossed, the blue column was just moving again. Then the woods on the south swallowed us up. "All right, sir." that before. Meanwhile the parallelism between Thought and Extension was not exhausted by the identification just analysed. Extension was not only a series of movements; it still remained an expression for co-existence and adjacency.412 Spinoza, therefore, felt himself obliged to supply Thought with a correspondingly continuous quality. It is here that his chief originality lies, here that he has been most closely followed by the philosophy of our own time. Mind, he declares, is an attribute everywhere accompanying matter, co-extensive and co-infinite with space. Our own animation is the sum or the resultant of an animation clinging to every particle that enters into the composition of our bodies. When our thoughts are affected by an external impulse, to suppose that this impulse proceeds from anything material is a delusion; it is produced by the mind belonging to the body which acts on our body; although in what sense this process is to be understood remains a mystery. Spinoza has clearly explained the doctrine of animal automatism, and shown it to be perfectly conceivable;569 but he has entirely omitted to explain how the parallel influence of one thought (or feeling) on another is to be understood; for although this too is spoken of as a causal relation, it seems to be quite different from the logical concatenation described as the infinite intellect of God; and to suppose that idea follows from idea like movement from movement would amount to a complete materialisation of mind; while our philosopher would certainly have repudiated Mr. Shadworth Hodgson¡¯s theory, that states of consciousness are only connected through their extended substratum, as the segments of a mosaic picture are held together by the underlying surface of masonry. Nor can we admit that Spinoza entertained the theory, now so popular, according to which extension and consciousness are merely different aspects of a single reality. For this would imply that the substance which they manifest had an existence of its own apart from its attributes; whereas Spinoza makes it consist of the attributes, that is to say, identifies it with their totality. We are forced, then, to conclude that the proposition declaring thought and extension to be the same thing570 has no413 other meaning than that they are connected by the double analogy which we have endeavoured to explain. ¡°Oh, he¡¯s welcome to it,¡± Sandy cried. ¡°I¡¯ve turned over a new leaf!¡± ¡°But¡ªare they?¡± He pulled a wire out a trifle from the sheath. The sergeant spent more time upon the oaths with which he embellished the counter-question as to how he should know anything about it, than would have been consumed in a civil explanation. "Doctor, he can't die. He mustn't die," said Shorty in agony. "The regiment can't spare him. He's the best soldier in it, and he's my pardner." AND ENTERS UPON HIS PARENTAL RELATIONS TO LITTLE PETE SKIDMORE. "Holy smoke, look there," gasped Monty Scruggs, as a company of rebel cavalry came tearing over the hill in front, to the assistance of their comrades. "That's about it," answered Shorty disdainfully. "That's the way with all cavalry, dad-burn 'em. They're like a passel o' fice pups. They're all yelp and bark, and howl and showin' o' teeth. They're jest goin' to tear you to pieces. But when you pick up a stone or a club, or git ready to give 'em a good kick they're gone, the devil knows where. They're only an aggravation. You never kin do nothin' with 'em, and they kin do nothin' with you. I never kin understand why God Almighty wasted his time in makin' cavalry of any kind, Yank or rebel. All our own cavalry's good for is to steal whisky and chickens from honest soldiers of the infantry. The infantry's the only thing. It's like the big dog that comes up without any special remarks, and sets his teeth in the other dog. The thing only ends when one dog or the other is badly whipped and somethin's bin accomplished." "Mmm." Reuben started out of the half-waking state into which he had fallen. It was late in the afternoon, the sunlight had gone, and a wintry twilight crept up the wall. Maude the dairy-woman was looking in at the door. It was about a month subsequent to this, that one morning, as Turner was making the anvil ring with the ponderous strokes of his hammer, two retainers from the castle entered the shed, and delivered an order from De Boteler for his immediate attendance. Wat laid the hammer on the anvil, and, passing the back of his right hand across his forehead, to clear away the large drops that stood there, looked with a kind of smile at the men as he said, HoMEãñÔóÂÜÀËIJ¿ºÍ¼¯ÏÂÔØ
