We take a special pride in the fact that Japanese made automotive service equipment has met varied requirements on a global basi.

Japan Crane Association (JCA):

Established: September 5th, 1963
Japan Crane Association (JCA) is a public corporation approved by the Minstry of Health, Labour and Welfare, the objectives of which are to prevent work-related accidents due to cranes, and upgrade the safety management of the load transportation. These objectives are achieved through carrying out technical research and surveys, training and education, information dissemination,inspection and examination, and providing the technical guidance on cranes, Through its activities JCA has been playing the leading role in the field of cranes and acting as a technical information source.

JCA is a public corporation playing a leading role in improvement of industrial safety and transport management through survey and research, dissemination of knowledge and guidance concerning cranes, derricks, mobile cranes, elevators, gondolas and construction lifts (hereinafter referred to simply as “cranes”).

Cranes are technologically advancing. To investigate and come up with ongoing trends as well as to cope with prevention of accidents due to cranes, JCA set up the following permanent technical committees to conduct the research and surveys regarding the structure, use, maintenance, etc. on cranes.

JCA also organizes the ad hoc technical committees in accordance with the necessity of the projects.

JCA is playing a major role for international standardization activities for cranes (including mobile cranes) as a national drafting body of ISO/TC96 (Crane and related equipment) and the secretariat of ISO/TC96/SC5 (Use, operation and maintenance).

In addition, JCA acts as a drafting body of national standards and/or safety regulations of cranes and conducts the research entrusted by Government.

Japanese Material Handling Society(JMHS):

The Japanese Material Handling Society (JMHS) was founded in 1956 for the purposes of promoting technical innovation in production and distribution field especially through application of MH theory, development of its management and technology, and information exchange among JMHS members. Since its founding, JMHS has expanded as the core MH organization in Japan, accumulating international experiences through information exchanges with counterparts in Europe and U.S. Recently we have been developing close relationship with neighboring countries and regions such as China, Taiwan and Korea etc.

In alliance with Japan Productivity Center for Socio-Economic Development and Japan Packaging Institute, we are striving for global improvement of the total system in production and distribution.

JMHS is a leading organization composed of specialists and authorities in the field of MH, aiming to streamline or systematize MH and enhance efficiency of productivity and distribution in Japan.

From basic research on systematization to interchange of experiences, JMHS is involved with all kinds of MH related activities.

JMHS promotes modernization of productivity and distribution in cooperation with MH related people in different fields from governmental to private, industrial and institutional organizations or companies.

JMHS cooperates with overseas MH related organizations to keep up with the world trend of rationalization in production and distribution field.

JMHS keeps MH/distribution material that enables members to obtain the latest information on their internal and external trend.

As the only course existing in Japan for fostering able specialists, JMHS holds the “Logistics/MH Engineering Course” every year, which has produced capable experts and has been highly evaluated.
