New York Build 2026: Positive Lifting Joins NYC’s Largest Construction Expo

Positive Lifting at New York Build Expo – NYC’s Largest Construction Event

A Major Milestone for Positive Lifting

New York Build Expo is the biggest construction and design show in New York City, bringing together thousands of contractors, developers, engineers, and industry professionals under one roof (New York Build Expo website). This year, Positive Lifting was proud to be part of it – showcasing our fleet, connecting with the construction community, and representing everything we stand for: power, precision, and professionalism.

Why New York Build Expo Matters

New York Build Expo takes place annually at the Javits Center in Manhattan, drawing over 25,000 attendees and hundreds of exhibitors from across the construction, real estate, and infrastructure industries. For crane and lifting companies operating in New York City, there is no better stage to be seen.
The event covers everything from general contracting and architecture to heavy equipment, safety, and technology – making it the go-to gathering for anyone shaping the NYC skyline.

The Positive Lifting Booth

Our team arrived ready. The Positive Lifting booth featured a bold red setup with large branded banners, a full LED display wall showcasing our cranes in action across New York City job sites, and a table packed with branded giveaways including hard hat keychains, pens, and company brochures.
Attendees stopped by to learn about our full fleet of knuckleboom crane trucks – from the Cormach 1500 and FASSI 1650 to the FASSI 1950, FASSI 2150, and our newest addition, the FASSI 2350 – the largest knuckleboom crane in the world, reaching 195 feet high.
The conversations were energetic, the interest was real, and the connections made will carry forward into projects across the five boroughs and beyond.

Live Media Displays at Our Booth

Our LED display wall wasn’t just for show it ran real, live footage highlighting the full scope of what Positive Lifting brings to a jobsite:

• Major crane and rigging projects throughout NYC.
• Specialized heavy lifting operations.
• Knuckleboom and all-terrain crane capabilities.
• Engineering and permit coordination services.
• Transportation, storage, and logistics support.
• Real-world jobsite footage of our fleet in action.

Visitors got a genuine look at our equipment capabilities and had the chance to speak directly with our team about how we support contractors with safe, efficient, and fully coordinated lifting solutions from start to finish.

Meeting the NYC Construction Community

One of the biggest values of attending an event like New York Build Expo is the opportunity to meet face-to-face with the people who build this city. General contractors, project managers, site supervisors, and developers all walked through our booth – and many were seeing a knuckleboom crane operation like ours for the first time.
We were able to explain the advantages of knuckleboom cranes for urban construction: their compact footprint, articulating reach, and ability to lift in tight city spaces where traditional cranes cannot operate.

Why Networking Events Like This Matter to Us

For Positive Lifting, events like New York Build are more than an exhibition they’re an opportunity to build real relationships within the construction community. Face-to-face interaction with contractors, vendors, developers, and industry leaders is essential for growth, innovation, and long-term partnerships.

Networking and collaborating with industry professionals allows us to:

• Stay ahead of evolving construction demands.
• Understand the challenges contractors face across NYC.
• Introduce innovative lifting and logistics solutions.
• Build stronger partnerships across the industry.
• Continue improving safety, efficiency, and project execution.

We’re committed to being more than just a crane company we aim to be a full-service partner that helps move projects forward safely, professionally, and efficiently.
