The IC Tower Index, like its mobile and crawler counterpart, has grown in size over recent years. It continues to be dominated by two companies, which have swapped places at the top for the second year running. This year, Belgium-based Arcomet has reclaimed the top spot from Morrow, headquartered in the US.

There has not been much movement elsewhere in the top ten, apart from a drop of four places for Spain's Jaso. Upward moves were made by Kammerlander, Van der Spek, Wilbert and Matebat Group. The UK'fs HTC Plant has been replaced in the top ten by AmQuip, which has moved up three places as a result of its extensive investment in fleet expansion overte last 12 months.

Companies appearing in the IC Tower Index for the first time are Dielco Crane Service, All Erection and J.F. Lomma, all from the US.•
