On 13th November, the Eurobitume Award was won by Hogan Group for an integrated winch and self-locking hook system they developed to remove the need to raise an asphalt-laden skip using a loading shovel and then manually attach it to a moving track.

Commenting on the winning entry, Eurobitume Technical Lead and Focal Person for the UK Dr Ian Lancaster said: “This innovative and practical solution had excellent engagement throughout, which is essential for “buy-in”, and the technology is easily transferable.”
