VERLINDE participated in Manutention 2024, held from 19–21 November at Eurexpo Lyon, with its largest stand footprint to date. The exhibition — one of the most important events in the European materials handling calendar — drew thousands of industry professionals from manufacturing, logistics, construction and process industries, and provided VERLINDE with a major platform to introduce the Eurochain VX to the French and European markets.
At the heart of the VERLINDE stand were live running demonstrations of the new Eurochain VX electric chain hoist, alongside hands-on presentations of the SMART-VX digital monitoring system. Visitors were able to see real-time load monitoring, operating hour tracking and predictive maintenance alerts in action — capabilities that generated considerable interest among fleet managers and plant engineers in attendance.
The VERLINDE team also showcased its full range of trolley and crane solutions, including push travel and motorised trolley systems for use with the VX hoist series. "Manutention is always a highlight of our exhibition calendar," noted the VERLINDE Marketing Director. "The level of engagement we saw this year confirmed that the market is ready for the new generation of connected lifting equipment."
