In the world of mobile crane driving, one name has caused a stir: Max Menze, a 32-year-old crane driver from Rheda-Wiedenbrück, will soon take part in the “Game of Cranes” world championship in Azuqueca de Henares, Spain. Menze, who has been working at Petersburs Autokrane und Transporte for 15 years, has now worked his way into the top league with an impressive performance. After submitting a video that was evaluated by a jury and through public voting, he achieved a sensational 19,000 votes - even though he had to compete against participants with up to 100,000 social media followers. That's what she reports New Westphalian.
But that's not all: Max not only has impressive figures, but also the necessary know-how. The competition consists of three core areas: occupational safety, sensitivity and technical understanding. In order to compete competently internationally, Menze even brushed up his English skills. His goal is to become the best mobile crane operator in Europe and qualify for the grand finale in November in Ehingen, Germany.
