He will explore how the industry, equipment, and regulations have evolved over time, the biggest challenges faced along the way, and what has kept him engaged for over 40 years. Juhren will also look ahead, sharing his perspective on the future of the tower crane industry and what lies on the horizon.
Maxim Crane Works
Engineering the Perfect Lift Plan
A comprehensive lift plan is the key to success on a jobsite. Drawing on real-world experience, Maxim Crane Works’ Dan Durrett, P.E., will discuss the engineering and planning strategies required for both single-crane operations and complex multi-crane lifts, highlighting how lift plans can help you land the project, mitigate risk, improve execution and assure more productive operations.
Brasfield & Gorrie’s JR Moran will lead a panel discussion about tower crane operations with a storm in the forecast. The panel will explore how tower cranes are engineered to withstand wind and weather, how wind tolerances are established, best practices for preparing for a storm and how to approach a storm’s aftermath. They will wrap up with a “lessons learned” review.
We are now seeking suggestions for speakers and topics for case studies, technical presentations and panel discussions at the 2026 TCNA. Proposed topics should primarily be of interest to tower crane owners and users, including rental companies and contractors.
