• OEMs and suppliers dealing with load cases, fatigue, and compliance evidence for equipment structures

What you will learn

• What’s new across the powered access market based on what OEMs and suppliers bring to the floor
• How the access + rental industries are aligning around practical topics like safety, standardisation, and fleet-ready engineering decisions
• How co-located formats (APEX + IRE + ERA Convention/Awards) shape the conversations – from product tech to operational expectations
