PD success story – trade fair with unique networking opportunities!
Next Platformers' Days will take place on 8 and 9 October 2026 at the Karlsruhe Trade Fair Centre. More than 25 years of PD success have made this industry event the leading trade fair for aerial working platforms, cranes and forklifts in the D-A-CH region. Over two compact trade fair days, the key players of mobile lifting and height access technology will meet for intensive product consultation at the machines, the exchange of concentrated knowledge transfer on over 30,000 m² of exhibition space and the networking of all industry experts at the atmospheric PD Networking Night.
At the cutting edge and always with an ear to the market. At Platformers' Days, you will not only find the right machine for your rental fleet, but also complementary products related to transport, systems and services to make your visit to the trade fair as effective as possible. In addition, the trade fair for aerial working platforms, cranes and forklifts offers space for industry trend topics and creates an incomparable, hands-on machine experience where interested parties can put equipment and products into operation under real demonstration conditions.
With an exceptionally high proportion of trade visitors, Platformers' Days 2024 was a decisive driver for investment decisions.
"Strategic partnerships are forged through dialogue."
"This year marks the 100th anniversary of Paul Becker GmbH. As a family-run business, we know that sound investments are based not only on business intuition, but also on trust and long-standing relationships with business partners.
The Karlsruhe Trade Fair Center is the perfect platform for face-to-face exchanges. The Platformers’ Days offer the ideal opportunity not only to compare work platforms and forklifts on paper, but also to experience them first-hand, get a feel for them and discuss any questions directly with the manufacturers. In this context, a face-to-face conversation is much more personal than, for example, a phone call or a Teams meeting.
We greatly appreciate the regional proximity to our branches in Baden-Württemberg, as well as the compact layout of the trade fair.
At the networking evening, you can take away new ideas, inspiration and perspectives for the future in a relaxed atmosphere. Many a strategic partnership has already been forged there."
"Investment security requires a thorough understanding of the market..."
"...and that's exactly what Karlsruhe has to offer. I'm looking forward to attending the Platformers' Days for the first time this year, reconnecting with familiar industry colleagues, making new contacts, and experiencing the latest machines and innovations in our industry firsthand."
Platformers’ Days is the leading trade show for mobile lifting and aerial access technology in the German-speaking world and will take place for the fourth time in Karlsruhe in 2026. It brings together key players from the aerial work platform, crane, and forklift sectors and creates the ideal conditions for knowledge exchange, networking, and establishing new business contacts.
The wide range of national and international exhibitors covers the entire value chain of the industry and impressively demonstrates just how innovative and forward-looking it is. Look forward to exciting ideas, innovative applications, products, and services, as well as the opportunity for personal interaction in a relaxed atmosphere.
