Vertikal Days 2026 Showguide:

How to use this Show Guide

There is so much to see this year and such a variety of products that it is essential you run through this 50 page listing of all of the products and services on display.

As well as the list of exhibitors with details of their products - broken down into three major categories: Cranes, Access equipment/ telehandlers and Other Equipment - there is an A-Z exhibitor and brand list with stand numbers, and maps of the Outdoor area and the Marketplace.

With this information you can create a ‘Must Not Miss’ plan. We strongly recommend that you do this in order to maximise the opportunities

The Marketplace Pavilion

At the centre of the showground, the Marketplace Pavilion and café is the place to find the technology, components and service providers that keep fleets and products running and sites moving. Due to an early sell-out, the Marketplace has been extended again this year to accommodate more than 60 stands. Exhibitors here cover everything from electronics, components and spare parts to rigging gear, safety equipment and inspection services, alongside training providers and finance specialists. It is a concentrated showcase of the practical tools and support that is needed for day to day lifting and work at height operations.

The Big Lunch and New Pitstop

The industry’s biggest lunch gathering takes place each day between 12.00 and 14.30 in the main Catering Pavilion, but for those after a quick bite rather than the full sit-down lunch, the new centrally located Pit Stop will be serving pulled pork rolls, salads and a variety of filled jacket/baked potatoes.

Networking under the Starshade

This year’s networking evening, ‘Barcelona Beats’, will adopt a Spanish theme and gets underway from 17.30 on the Wednesday under the Starshade. Visitors who would like to attend should contact the Vertikal Days organising team or exhibitors for tickets.

Working together

Industry discussion continues away from the stands, with several short association meetings scheduled over the two days. The CPA will host a joint Crane Interest Group (CIG)/Tower Crane Interest Group Open Meeting from 14:00 to 16:00 on the Thursday in the Cedric Ford Building.
IPAF will host a series of member meetings and will promote its 2026 Global Safety Campaign, Check It!, highlighting the importance of inspecting equipment. A live demonstration will underline the risks and run through the checks that should be carried out, while a dedicated area will spotlight IPAF’s new Spotter Training Course, along with mobile crane and hoist training.

And finally

In recent years sponsorship has helped the organisers hold down the cost to exhibitors in the face of rising visitor numbers and escalating supplier costs. Look out for their branding across the show and drop by their stands.
