Lift Expo Moscow is Russia’s largest specialized business platform for the elevator and lifting equipment sector. The second edition of the international exhibition is scheduled for 10–12 November 2026 at the Crocus Expo International Exhibition Center in Moscow (Pavilion 3, Hall 13).
Organizer and Official Support
The exhibition is organized by the Eurasian Lift Association (ELA) , with the project directed by Stanislav Veselitsky. The event has received official support from the Russian Ministry of Construction, Housing and Utilities, reinforcing its role as a central meeting point between industry and government.
In a notable development, the National Lift Union (NLU) entered negotiations with the ELA regarding the formation of a consolidated exhibition platform for the entire Russian elevator industry. Under the proposed roadmap, the NLU would integrate into the 2026 edition as a partner, with the goal of establishing a single national industry exhibition at VDNH starting from 2027.
International Participation
The international dimension of the exhibition is actively expanding. Organizers are working with companies from China and TĂĽrkiye, and are exploring the possibility of organizing a national exposition of elevator industry enterprises from Uzbekistan.
Leading Russian and foreign manufacturers of elevators, lifting equipment, components, and IT solutions for the industry have already confirmed their participation and reserved booth spaces. Early demand has been strong, reflecting the steady growth of the Russian vertical transportation market.
