Two great events - One location
Crane Safety 2026 is being held co-located with Nuclear Lifting 2026, giving attendees access to two specialist lifting events in one location and date, broadening the professional community you’ll engage with. This alignment offers an excellent chance to network with a wider audience of engineers and safety professionals, attend sessions from both Crane Safety and Nuclear Lifting seminars and deepen your knowledge across different lifting contexts.
Our 2026 themes include:
How operators, engineers and OEMs are shaping the future of crane safety through technologies and processes
Guidance from regulators and safety experts on regulations, standards and best practices
How advanced inspection technologies like drones and sensors are transforming high hazard lifting projects.

A very informative event covering a range of crane safety related topics pertinent to many varieties of construction and operational cranes. From Safety Case generation to specific learning from assessing asset condition the session provided excellent learning and networking opportunities.
Construction Manager
Sellafield Ltd
I thoroughly enjoyed the pace of delivery at the event this was pitched perfectly. The variety of speakers at the event was also the selling point for me attending. The topics covered were varied with a healthy amount of overlap to be able to draw similarities between the different industry applications of lifting and encourage some healthy debate during the panel sessions.
