The two day event will take place on 15th and 16th May 2019 at Donington Park in the East Midlands - one of the famous grounds of British motorsport. Throughout the year the venue hosts a great amount of national and international events, as well as a wide variety of exhibitions, shows and other music concerts. Hosting the largest Vertikal Days yet will be another key date in its calendar. A number of new products will be making their way over from Bauma in Munich, so Vertikal Days will be the first time a lot of new products will be shown in the UK. Be prepared for several product launches from crane, access and telehandler manufacturers as well as component and ancillary service companies. Associations The CPA is exhibiting on stand number 128 and the CPA team will be on hand to discuss the release of the very latest safety and technical publications, such as new crane safety guidance for use of cranes beside railways. IPAF is also exhibiting and the association’s safety campaign will address the increase in accidents while operating an aerial work platform alongside or on roadways.
