Winches and cranes dangle overhead, yet hard hats are absent from the heads of enthusiastic attendants that man these giant construction machines. This is no construction site, nor has any safety precaution been breached.
It is CeMAT Asia and these monstrous machines are part of a showcase of the latest technologies in the lifting business.
