LiftEx 2026: Discover Lifting Innovations For Subsea And Offshore Operations
From subsea installation and offshore maintenance to vessel operations and port logistics, lifting equipment plays a critical role in supporting safe, efficient operations across the maritime and offshore industries. LiftEx 2026, the flagship exhibition organised by the Lifting Equipment Engineers Association (LEEA), offers professionals across these sectors an opportunity to explore new technologies, connect with specialist suppliers and share knowledge on lifting safety and best practice.
Taking place at Exhibition Centre Liverpool on 24–25 November, LiftEx will bring together around 100 exhibiting brands showcasing products, services and expertise from across the lifting industry. The event is relevant to offshore contractors, subsea service providers, marine engineers, equipment specialists and those responsible for lifting operations, inspection, maintenance and procurement.
Equipment and expertise for challenging environments
Lifting operations in subsea and offshore environments demand reliable equipment, rigorous inspection and careful planning. From handling heavy components and supporting offshore maintenance to vessel-based lifting and subsea project logistics, having the right equipment and technical knowledge is essential.
LiftEx provides an opportunity to meet manufacturers and suppliers offering solutions across lifting equipment, hoists, chains, ropes, slings, rigging, load monitoring, inspection systems and digital technologies. Visitors can explore new products, discuss technical requirements with specialists and investigate developments designed to support equipment traceability, operational efficiency and safety.
Among the exhibitors with particular relevance to offshore, subsea and marine engineering are Modulift, which specialises in engineered lifting beams and modular spreader systems; Atlas Winch & Hoist Services, which supplies winches and lifting equipment for marine applications; and Island Ropes & Rigging, which provides synthetic rope and engineered rope solutions.
Visitors can also meet Petersen Stainless Rigging, offering stainless steel rigging components and marine fittings; Green Pin, whose range includes shackles, hooks and other rigging components; and pewag UK, which supplies lifting chains and accessories, including equipment for offshore applications. DELTA Hoisting Equipment also offers hoisting, lifting and load-handling solutions for shipping and offshore industries.
For those involved in inspection, load monitoring and equipment management, Dynamic Load Monitoring specialises in load cells and monitoring equipment, while coreRFID offers digital inspection and equipment management technology through its CheckedOK platform.
These exhibitors provide a starting point for visitors looking to identify potential suppliers, compare equipment and discuss the demands of lifting operations across offshore energy, subsea projects, marine maintenance and port services.
Technical insights and live demonstrations
Alongside the exhibition, LiftEx features technical presentations and expert-led sessions covering developments and challenges across the lifting sector.
A new feature for 2026 is Proficiency Testing, which puts inspection knowledge into practice. Visitors will have opportunities to identify equipment faults, consider inspection findings and explore the decisions involved in effective inspection. The sessions highlight the importance of competent inspection and sound judgement in maintaining lifting equipment safety.
The LEEA Member Showcase sessions will also give exhibiting members dedicated opportunities to present product innovations, demonstrate technologies and share specialist knowledge. For visitors, these sessions provide a focused way to discover new approaches and hear directly from the companies developing lifting solutions.
LiftEx also creates opportunities to exchange ideas with industry peers, discuss operational challenges and build relationships with manufacturers, suppliers and technical specialists serving a range of sectors, including offshore and subsea.
Connect with the lifting industry
For professionals looking to explore equipment developments, review inspection practices or identify potential suppliers, LiftEx 2026 offers a valuable opportunity to connect with the wider lifting community.
Organised by LEEA, the internationally recognised trade association for the lifting industry, the event brings together expertise from multiple sectors, providing fresh perspectives on the technologies, standards and practices supporting safe lifting operations.
