About the

A&H Summit

Wave upon wave on new generation machinery is constantly changing even the most basic aspects of access and handling. But do you know the working practices this equipment requires and how to reap maximum return from this strongly mechanised culture?

The Access & Handling Summit assesses the impact of increasingly ‘smart’ machines, bound together by the Internet of Things, and presents detailed accounts of safe, efficient working – always focusing on real-world applications and the routes to best practice.

There is also a unique showcase of the latest equipment and in-action demonstrations of features and capabilities. See the agenda below for more.

Agenda

We believe content is key and our panel discussions and presentations seek to provoke insightful debate and shed light on current trends, issues and solutions.
New capabilities

Get mechanised!

Are you one of the many businesses still using intensive labour force solutions when the latest styles of access equipment can radically simplify working styles, and lessen costs? Now you’ll see first-hand how to implement new solutions.
Safety first

Safer working with MEWPs

Many types of access & handling equipment require solid on-site training – and this is never truer than with MEWPs, with their constant potential for overturn and crushing. A dedicated session sets out the protocols clearly and in highly practical terms.
Telematics

Learn what you’re doing well

Today’s machinery gives you expert data on all your access & handling tasks – giving you the perfect opportunity to focus on your strengths and eliminate wasteful activities.
Knowledge

and Expertise

Knowledge and expertise sharing are vital for success across an industry; discussing challenges and experiences that can be overcome in the future with digital adoption, education, and new normal ways of working.
