The first Vertikal Days is scheduled for September 19-20 at Haydock Park Racecourse, near Liverpool, UK.

About 60 exhibitors and 1,000 visitors are expected.

“This new event is not an exhibition nor a conference nor a show – it is, in a way, a combination of all of them, a relaxed industry get together at which rental companies, fleet owners and major users can meet with manufacturers and suppliers to look at the latest products and simply have time to catch up and talk about next year’s business plans,” said show organiser, and Cranes & Access publisher Leigh Sparrow.

The UK lorry loader association ALLMI is planning a general meeting of the ALLMI forum.

Employees from companies that are trade buyers of the type of equipment on display will qualify for a free day pass. Those who are not qualified will be asked to contribute towards the cost of parking and hospitality.

Cranes Today will be exhibiting at the event.
