The 2021 shortlist for the International Awards for Powered Access (IAPAs) represents a fantastic snapshot of the industry and its trends.As a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, the ceremony has been postponed from its original date in March 2020, and will now take place as a virtual event on 18 March this year. The two and half hour online event is combined with the IPAF Summit, during which the winners of the 12 IAPA categories will be announced and a range of topical presentations will be provided by industry experts.

The IAPAs saw an incredible response from the industry, with a record 130 entries, creating a challenging decision-making process for the

judging panel. The organisers of the IAPAs and IPAF Summit, Access International and The International Powered Access Federation (IPAF), would like to

thank the judges and all those who took the time to enter.

We hope people will be able to join us and that they are looking forward to this event in an exciting new digital format as much as we are. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank our sponsors CMC Lift, Sinoboom, Trackunit, ZTR, Hinowa, Alimak and IMER Group.

THE IAPA INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY PRIZE

The IAPA Innovative Technology Prize

Dingli – boom design The company has re-designed its boom lifts by lowering the engine, hydraulic components and counterweight, to below the turntable level, into the chassis. This innovation is designed to bring higher capacity to working height and outreach, and reduced gross weight of the machine.

Hinowa - TeleCrawler13 The company has introduced the first lithium-ion telescopic tracked aerial platform equipped with electric drive undercarriage with no hydraulic oil. The full electric system is significantly more efficient, up to four times, compared to the traditional hydraulic system.

JLG - mobile control app The mobile control app allows operators to control equipment remotely, pairing any smart phone with a scissor via a QR code and Bluetooth, allowing better visibility of obstructions while maintaining a safe distance, easier loading on to trucks and positioning of machines into tight or difficult spots.

Ruthmann - Ampero TBR 250 E The Ampero TBR 250 E is the first fully electric truck mounted platform. It has a unique electric drive concept. The traction battery of the Sprinter vehicle is simultaneously used for driving the Steiger. Therefore, it requires just one charging device for the entire machine.
