This year’s Vertikal Days is almost here! Scheduled for the 9-10th September at the Newark Showground, UK, the event features two days of networking and a close look at the latest ideas and developments from manufacturers, technology specialists, trainers and service providers for equipment in the work at height and lifting industry.
Fresh Thinking on the Runway
Visitors will be able to see, test and try a wide range of new machines, products and ideas from crane, aerial lift and telehandler manufacturers and suppliers. Just as important are the specialist exhibitors behind the scenes, showcasing new technology and practical solutions spanning software, electronics, safety equipment and a host of ancillary products designed to make jobs safer and more efficient.
Adding fresh energy this year will be 25 first-time exhibitors - 19 in the Marketplace and six with outside stands, bringing new names and a new approach to the show.
The event last year The Marketplace
At the centre of the showground, the Marketplace Pavilion and café has been extended to accommodate over 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.
Inside the marketplace The Big Lunch and New Pitstop
The industry’s biggest all-inclusive lunch gathering takes place each day between 12 and 14:30 in the main Catering Pavilion, but for those after a quick bite to eat, rather than the full sit down lunch, the new centrally located Pit Stop located in the central aisle will be serving pulled pork rolls, salads and a variety of jacket potatoes.
Networking under the Starshade
This year’s networking evening, ‘Barcelona Beats’, will adopt a Spanish theme and gets under way from 17.30 on the Wednesday evening under the Starshade. Visitors who would like to attend should contact the Vertikal Days organising team or exhibitors for tickets.
Your Guide to the Show
The Vertikal Days show guide will be included in the September issue of Cranes & Access. It includes a full exhibitor and brand listing, a site map showing where to find them, and a run down of key products, along with the main events, timings and other practical information for planning your visit.
Working Together
Industry discussion continue away from the stands, with several short association meetings scheduled during the show. The CPA will host a joint Crane Interest Group (CIG)/Tower Crane Interest Group (TCIG) Open Meeting from 14:00 on 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.
