On February 28, 2025, IPAF held a milestone meeting at 3M's Shanghai factory and officially established the IPAF China Regional Working Group (ICRC).
As a member of the IPAF China Regional Working Group (ICR), Henan Jianghe Special Vehicle Technology Co., Ltd., together with the newly elected rotating chairman and vice chairman of the ICR and various member units, actively explores the safety of the high-altitude operation industry, and advocates for host manufacturers, lessors, and practitioners to adhere to and promote the safety of high-altitude operation applications, continuously optimize and improve the continuous development of high-altitude operations.
IPAF China Regional Manager Mo Yu said, "After more than 10 years of rapid development and the promotion of various stakeholders (especially original equipment manufacturers and leasing companies), the application of high-altitude work machinery in China is becoming increasingly widespread. However, at the same time, there are also huge challenges in safety risk prevention. From regulatory authorities, to projects, safety supervision, equipment providers, and frontline operators, safety issues are increasingly valued. IPAF has been cooperating and exchanging in China for more than 10 years, and now the establishment of the ICRC has also emerged. Through diversified approaches, IPAF will be able to establish more possibilities and share its professional knowledge, experience, and resources accumulated over 40 years globally with Chinese peers and stakeholders, better supporting and promoting the safe and effective use of high-altitude work platforms in the Chinese region
The establishment of the ICRC brings together major industry participants to work together towards building a safer and more regulated future.
