The entry deadline for the IAPAs is fast approaching. The forms need to be sent in by the end of Friday this week.

Now in its tenth year, the International Awards for Powered Access (IAPAs) will be held in Miami, USA on 8 March 2018

With 13 award categories, ranging from new products and innovations to safety and training, there is bound to be one to suit your company or you as an individual.

For the 2018 awards there has been a change to the two Product of the Year categories for self propelled equipment. They have been updated to: Product of the Year – Self propelled booms and atrium lifts and Product of the Year – Scissors lifts & vertical mast platforms. We hope this will encourage a wider range of entries. The other 11 categories remain the same.

Deadline for entries: 1 December 2017

There is no charge for entering the IAPA awards, so please take the opportunity to take part in this prestigious industry event, which attracted more than 450 delegates when it was last held this year in London, UK.
