Crane & Industrial Lifting Asset Management Conference
Friday 26 Feb 2027, London
Repair, refurbish, replace or redesign?
A B2B conference for port operators, terminal operators, crane OEMs, industrial asset owners, engineering service providers and technology suppliers responsible for the performance, maintenance, reliability and investment strategy of critical lifting infrastructure.
Across ports and industrial environments, crane systems are reaching a critical point in their lifecycle - where ageing assets, increasing operational demands, regulatory pressure, and cost constraints are driving urgent investment decisions.
This conference connects the people who own and operate crane assets with the organisations that help them extend asset life, improve reliability, reduce downtime and manage operational risk.
Photos shown are from previous Brake and Friction conferences produced by the organiser. The Crane Lifecycle Conference launches in 2027.
This conference addresses the real-world decisions being made today about when to repair, refurbish, replace or redesign critical lifting assets.
