‘Dad’s team built a battery-powered light lifter for Konecranes that can very quickly and handily be ordered to lift all kinds of heavy objects by pushing a button on your mobile. At the PDP gala, it was used to hoist a red metal thingy, but dad says it could just as well lift a small boat into water. I’m really proud of what my father and his friends have accomplished, and it was fun coming to the gala to tell the other guests’ children about the device.’
