Manitou has reported a 20% increase in turnover for the first half of 2012 compared to the first half of 2011 and an upturn in profit of 22%. However, president and chief executive officer Jean-Christophe Giroux said progress was slower than expected because of a number of internal and external factors.

Manitou's first quarter revenue results for 2012 show a 19% increase on the same quarter in 2011 to 鈧�316 million. The Rough Terrain Handling (RTH) division which includes access platforms and telehandlers has increased turnover by 16%, compared to Q1 in 2011, to 鈧�221.4 million.

According to research released by the UK IOSH (Institution of Occupational Safety and Health) deaths and injuries among migrant construction workers could be reduced if pictures were used in safety training.

German manufacturer to begin programme of new truck-mounted platform launches at Intermat

New products designed and built around local requirements will be launched at Intermat.

Haulotte is planning to showcase examples from across its whole product range on its 200 square-metre stand this year.

The Apex exhibition and the accompanying Europlatform conference are events not to be missed by anyone involved in the powered access industry.

Access International is the only global magazine for users and buyers of aerial work platforms.

The powered access sector is unusual, if not unique in that it has an internationally recognised operator training and certification scheme in the shape of the Powered Access Licence (PAL) Card scheme.

With the major US manufacturers suffering on their home market, Europe is receiving more and more attention, giving buyers and users more choice of powered access platforms than ever before. At the same time, Europe's rental companies and manufacturers are pushing into Eastern Europe, again expanding contractors' choices. Maria Hadlow reports.
