APEX (Aerial Platform Exhibition) and IRE (International Rental Exhibition) took place at MECC Maastricht in 2026. From 2027 onwards, KHL Group will organise the trade fair annually at RAI Amsterdam, with more floor space than in Maastricht. IPAF is the event’s main partner.
On the exhibition floor, you will see self-propelled aerial work platforms, scissor lifts, truck-mounted aerial work platforms, atrium lifts and telehandlers. Suppliers will also be showcasing batteries, safety systems, control systems and software for the rental sector and telematics.
