WEG showcases lift automation portfolio at Lift Expo Italia 2026

More than half of Europe’s seven million lifts are now over 25 years old, making modernisation an urgent priority for the industry. At Lift Expo Italia, taking place from October 28 to 30, 2026, WEG will demonstrate how its lift technologies can help improve the reliability, efficiency and performance of new and modernised lift systems. Visitors can find WEG at Stand D8.

According to the European Lift Association (ELA), around seven million lifts are currently in operation across Europe, many of which are approaching the end of their original design life. For lift operators, modernisation offers a way to extend the life of existing systems while bringing them in line with today’s expectations for performance and efficiency.

At Lift Expo Italia, WEG will showcase the three product lines in its ADL500 elevator drive range: the ADL510, ADL530 and ADL550.
Designed to meet the demands of new and modernised lift applications, the drives support both asynchronous and synchronous motors, with lift-specific functions including precise floor positioning, smooth starting and stopping, and emergency operation.

The range also supports a wide range of encoders for accurate speed and position control in lift applications.
Meanwhile, integrated lift functions help manage load-dependent starting torque, door-zone positioning and controlled deceleration.

WEG will also exhibit the EBC500 electronic brake control.
The EBC500 complements the ADL500 range by providing electronic control and monitoring of the motor brakes, helping to simplify control cabinets while providing greater visibility of brake operation.
It provides controlled brake opening and closing, monitors brake status and can detect brake-related faults, helping to support safe and reliable lift operation.

WEG will demonstrate how its drives and control technologies can work together as part of a complete lift automation solution.
Its offering also includes dedicated control-panel components such as contactors, compact contactors, circuit protection, terminal blocks, disconnectors, push buttons and pilot lights, allowing multiple elements of the lift control system to be sourced from a single technology partner.

“The lift sector is an important area of expertise for WEG, and Lift Expo Italia gives us an opportunity to demonstrate not just our products, but the depth of knowledge and experience behind them,” explained Karim Boudaoud, product manager at WEG Automation Europe. “Our expertise extends across the wider automation system, allowing us to bring together drives, control technologies and complementary components to provide an integrated approach to lift applications.”

Visitors to Lift Expo Italia can find WEG at stand D8. More information on the ADL500 elevator drive range can be found on the WEG website.
