IN Brief:
- More than 180 exhibitors are now confirmed across APEX and IRE in Maastricht.
- The co-located shows run from 2 to 4 June and bring together powered access, rental equipment and software suppliers.
- New features this year include a product showcase stage and IPAF safety demonstration space.
APEX and the International Rental Exhibition have moved past 180 confirmed exhibitors ahead of their return to Maastricht this June, giving the 2026 edition a broader equipment and technology footprint as the access and rental markets lean further into electrification and digital tools.
The co-located events will run from 2 to 4 June at MECC Maastricht, alongside the ERA Convention and the European Rental Awards. Organisers are positioning the combined format around powered access, telehandlers, rental equipment and an expanding mix of batteries, safety systems, control components, software and telematics.
New for 2026 is a dedicated product showcase stage, while IPAF will run safety-related demonstrations and talks within the exhibition. The official event platform also points to a wider emphasis on rental technology, with software and telematics suppliers taking a more visible place in the exhibitor mix.
That makes the June gathering more than a product display. It is increasingly being used as a read-across for where fleet specification, powertrain strategy, safety presentation and digital management are heading across access and wider site equipment markets.
