Crane & Industrial Lifting Asset Management Conference 

 

Friday 26 Feb 2027, London

Managing the future of ageing crane and lifting infrastructure 

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.

Europe’s port and industrial lifting infrastructure are facing increasing pressure to extend the life of ageing crane fleets while maintaining safety, reliability, compliance, and operational performance. At the same time, organisations must make complex decisions around repair, retrofit, refurbishment, and replacement under budget and operational constraints. 

The Crane & Industrial Lifting Asset Management Conference brings together engineering, maintenance, asset management, and investment professionals to examine practical approaches to lifecycle management, reliability improvement, infrastructure modernisation and capital investment planning. 

This conference will comprise of case studies, technical sessions and hands-on exhibition and is designed for organisations making high-value decisions about extending, upgrading, or replacing critical lifting assets.

Asset strategy and lifecycle decisions
- crane fleet lifecycle decisions
- retrofit vs replacement decision-making
- lifecycle costing and capital investment prioritisation 
Maintenance, reliability and performance 
- predictive maintenance and condition monitoring
- downtime reduction and operational continuity
- maintenance planning and inspection regimes 
Engineering integrity and compliance 
- structural integrity and safety assurance
- braking systems, friction materials and critical components
- regulatory compliance and operational risk management
Infrastructure investment and modernisation 
- port and terminal upgrade strategies 
- industrial lifting infrastructure rene
- lifecycle costing and capital investment prioritisation 

Attendees will leave with practical benchmarks, lifecycle strategies, and investment frameworks used by leading operators managing ageing lifting infrastructure. The conference also provides a highly targeted environment for organisations supporting crane lifecycle management, maintenance, retrofit and infrastructure investment decisions.

Who will attend? 
Port authorities and Terminal Operators
Engineering and maintenance teams
Asset and infrastructure managers
Crane OEMs and system integrators
