LES-EXPO is the world’s first specialised trade show dedicated to load engineering services. This pioneering event, taking place at the Istanbul Expo Centre from 7–9 April 2026, brings together the industry’s most influential names from Europe, Asia and Africa under one roof.

Why LES-EXPO?

LES-EXPO is the first and only specialised fair in the world dedicated to load engineering services. It unites sectors that require advanced engineering solutions for lifting, transporting, and installing heavy, wide, long, and high-value loads. From wind energy to infrastructure investments, maritime to logistics, it offers a unique showcase for companies operating in a broad range of fields

The visitor profile consists exclusively of professionals, decision-makers, and investors. LES-EXPO provides an outcome-driven platform that generates direct business opportunities for participating companies. This meeting point fosters knowledge exchange, collaboration, and commercial growth across industries—positioning itself at the heart of transformation in the field of load engineering.

Our Vision for the Fair

LES-EXPO is not just an exhibition space—it is an international meeting point where expertise, experience, and partnerships converge. Focusing on high-value-added load engineering services, this dynamic platform prioritises knowledge exchange, shared experience, and cross-sector engagement.

Through panels, technical sessions, and networking events held throughout the fair, professionals develop inter-industry collaborations and gain first-hand exposure to new technologies and future visions.

A Global Platform

Standing out in the fields of load engineering, heavy vehicle solutions, and construction machinery on a global scale, LES-EXPO brings together the latest technologies and leading pioneers in sectoral transformation under one roof. Smart equipment and automation systems that provide efficiency, safety, and sustainability in key industries—such as construction, energy, mining, and logistics—take centre stage. Meanwhile, participants gain opportunities to establish international connections and explore new partnerships.

Innovations in Load Engineering

The latest innovations, strategic collaborations, and advanced technology solutions in load engineering lie at the heart of LES-EXPO. Covering a wide spectrum from heavy load lifting systems and structural support materials to rail system equipment and transport solutions, this event guides the transformation of the engineering world.

The exhibition spaces bring together global manufacturers and local solution providers, allowing visitors to experience innovative, time-saving solutions first-hand. LES-EXPO offers visitors the chance to follow the latest trends up close and engage directly with industry professionals.

Strategic Location, Global Impact

The strategic location of the Istanbul Expo Centre makes LES-EXPO truly unique on a global scale. Held in both indoor and outdoor areas at the crossroads of three continents, the fair strengthens international collaboration in the load engineering sector and becomes a hub for global solutions.

Organised in partnership with the Load Engineering Association (YMB) and KFA Fairs, LES-EXPO would be pleased to welcome you to this global gathering that is shaping the future of the industry.
