Are you up to speed with the latest safety standards? Is your equipment compliant with the latest regulations? LIFTEX 2019 is the essential destination to learn about safety and compliance, plus the latest innovations and technical advancements in the lift and escalator industry.
LIFTEX 2019 Show Director, Oliver Greening, explains: "Come and find out what the latest safety standards mean, network with thousands of like-minded professionals or find new suppliers, whatever the reason it will be time well spent out of the office."
Discover the latest products and services
Organised by LEIA, LIFTEX 2019 takes place only once every three years. On offer are over 110 leading UK and international suppliers of lift products and services - some never been seen before at a UK event.

Running alongside the exhibition is a free seminar programme offering insights, advice and guidance on crucial issues from regulations to safety from industry experts.
Greening continues: "We have put together the seminar programme to help you ensure your lifts are properly maintained and comply with the latest regulations. There is also an opportunity for you to ask for advice and solve your problems in the LEIA Advice Centre, plus keep up to date with training to help keep you and your equipment safe."
