IPAF at APEX Show 2026: What to Expect
IPAF is excited to announce that once again it will be exhibiting at the APEX Show 2026, taking place from 2–4 June 2026 at the MECC in Maastricht, Netherlands.
Widely regarded as the leading international trade event for powered access equipment professionals, APEX 2026 – organised by KHL – promises three days of innovation, networking, and industry insight.
IPAF Live Demonstration Area – Outdoor Stand 1240
For the first time ever, IPAF will host a dedicated live demonstration zone at the show. Located in in the heart of the outside exhibitor area on stand 1240, this space will showcase live demos on recovery and rescue techniques, as well as elements of IPAF’s upcoming 2026 global safety campaign (to be launched at the IPAF Summit in Istanbul in March 2026).
This stand is a must-visit for rental companies, manufacturers, contractors and safety professionals.
IPAF Indoor Stand – Stand 210
Just inside the main entrance, IPAF’s indoor stand (210) will provide a central hub for discussing:
- The 2026 safety campaign in detail
- Updates to IPAF training courses
- The latest on IPAF Rental+ and the IPAF Rental Standard
- Guidance and resources for safe and effective use of powered access equipment
Whether you're a long-standing IPAF member or new to the industry, this stand will be a must-visit destination for insights and updates.
Peter Douglas, CEO and Managing Director of IPAF, said:
“APEX is a key event for our industry, and IPAF is proud to be an advocate and long-time supporter. We’re excited to bring live demonstrations to the show for the first time that reflect real-world powered access safety scenarios that our industry faces every day.
The demonstrations will directly support IPAF’s newly-published guidance, The Principles of MEWP Recovery and Rescue, helping to translate those principles into practical, on-the-ground applications that visitors can see in action.
“I strongly encourage IPAF members to exhibit alongside us – this is a fantastic opportunity to showcase your latest innovations, promote safety and connect with the global powered access community. I look forward to seeing you there!”
