Since the Platformers' Days premiered in 1999, the event has undergone a process of constant change. Yet despite the growth, the organisers have not lost sight of one thing: the desire to provide everyone who requires information about lifting and access equipment with an event where they can thoroughly acquaint themselves with the product.

After eleven successful events, the Platformers' Days have established themselves as the sector’s barometer. Having started as a sort of mini trade fair for work platforms, the Platformers' Days are by now the most important event for lifting and access equipment in Europe’s German-speaking area. The Platformers' Days are not a competition, however, or a trade fair at which the exhibitors present their entire range of equipment and services, thereby providing the visitor with information overload. At the Platformers' Days, each exhibitor presents a selection of equipment that they consider important. The additional product range is also limited: only those products that address the needs of the visitors may be displayed in Hohenroda. Moreover, it is the aim of the Platformers' Days to be a forum for suppliers and potential buyers that promotes a lively exchange of ideas.

Away from the hectic daily routine, all the participants, exhibitors and visitors should have the opportunity to make contacts that otherwise would not come about. The Platformers' Days offer the chance to meet colleagues from within the sector at a personal level, and to receive suggestions and stimulating ideas in a convivial environment that encourages issues to be viewed from a different perspective.

The calm and laid-back atmosphere of the backdrop allows everything else to fall into place. The possibility of staying in close proximity to the exhibition site makes the Platformers' Days a pleasant mix of work and relaxation: no stress, no long inbound journey, no having to look for a place to park, flexible opening times. It is not for nothing that the Platformers' Days’ motto is "Pleasant Platformers’ Days!“
