| We are writing to remind you that Global Lifting Awareness Day (GLAD) 2026 takes place this Thursday, 2 July. |
| ICHCA is proud to support this global initiative, led by the Lifting Equipment Engineers Association (LEEA), which brings together manufacturers, suppliers, ports, terminals, logistics organisations and end users to promote safer lifting practices across our industry. |
| The theme for GLAD 2026 is “Not all lifting equipment is created equal”, highlighting the importance of making informed procurement decisions and ensuring lifting equipment is selected based not only on load capacity, but also on its intended application, quality and supporting documentation. This year’s campaign will culminate in the publication of guidance to help procurement professionals source lifting equipment with greater confidence and clarity. |
| We encourage our members to show their support by following the campaign, sharing its messages with colleagues and networks, and joining the conversation using #GLAD2026. |
| You can find campaign resources, the latest news, and details of the GLAD 2026 here: |
| Thank you for helping to raise awareness of safe lifting practices across the global cargo handling and logistics sector. |
