Constructionshows
The LiftEx exhibition is the UK’s foremost specialised trade show for the lifting equipment, access and vertical transport industry, bringing together professionals from across multiple sectors — including construction, engineering, facilities management, oil & gas, maritime, manufacturing and infrastructure — to engage with the latest products, services and industry developments. Organised by the Lift and Escalator Industry Association (LEIA), the event has decades of heritage as a dedicated forum where manufacturers, installers, specifiers, engineers and technical specialists can connect, learn and do business within the lifting and height-safety community.
LiftEx typically features a comprehensive exhibition floor where leading suppliers and service providers present equipment and solutions that support efficient and safe lifting operations. These include lifting gear and accessories, hoists, cranes, rigging systems, load-monitoring technologies, height-safety products, inspection and testing services, and digital solutions for operational performance. The breadth of offerings makes it a go-to platform for attendees seeking to compare innovations, source quality products and keep up with technical advancements that address real-world industry needs.
Beyond the display of products, LiftEx is valued for its professional engagement and knowledge-sharing opportunities. The event often incorporates seminars and expert insights on topics such as safety standards, regulatory developments, maintenance best practices, modernisation and industry trends — equipping participants with applicable insights that support workplace safety and compliance.
Networking and business development are central to LiftEx’s mission. The exhibition brings together OEMs, buyers, consultants, regulators, specifiers and building managers in an environment that encourages collaboration, partnership building and the exchange of technical expertise. This makes LiftEx a vital meeting point for stakeholders focused on enhancing their operations, expanding their supplier networks and staying current with sector challenges and innovations.
