CMAA Specs Added to Techstreet Offerings
March 15, 2016 - Crane Manufacturers Association of America (CMAA) specifications have been added to Techstreet, part of the Intellectual Property & Science business of Thomson Reuters and one of the world's leading providers of industry codes.
The technical information superstore is harvested for standards and information by existing and prospective users of overhead lifting equipment in addition to those consuming and operating other technologies relating to manufacturing, distribution, and supply-chain activity.
CMAA, an authority on overhead traveling and gantry cranes and an independent incorporated trade association affiliated with the Material Handling Industry (MHI), is a pioneer as the first of the trade association’s product groups to provide content for Techstreet. That content is in the form of its Specification Nos. 70, 74, 78 and 79, the first of which were uploaded in February.
“Technical employees and other professionals need access to the latest revisions of hundreds of industry specifications relevant to their work and the equipment they use,” said Pete Kerrick, CMAA Engineering Committee vice president. “It is opportune to make CMAA content available at Techstreet, a one-stop resource for that documentation. We are hopeful that the initiative will lead to increased revenue and broader exposure to markets outside North America, while serving as a test bed for MHI which could make available additional content from other product groups.”
Equipment end users are among those who subscribe to receive Techstreet content, while the website—Techstreet.com—can also be searched by keyword. When a visitor clicks to learn more about an industry code or to initiate a purchase, Techstreet introduces them to other content deemed of interest and relevance based on certain criteria. Customers can purchase a secure PDF of a document; receive a printed edition; or both.
