There are two major forklift and industrial logistics events scheduled for Surabaya in 2026. While the specialized Forklift Indonesia Surabaya is slated for November, a larger manufacturing expo featuring forklift competitions will take place in July.
This is an international trade fair focused specifically on forklifts, material handling, and warehouse logistics.
While not exclusively about forklifts, this is the largest manufacturing expo in Eastern Indonesia and features a major Forklift Hero Competition.
Note on Jakarta Events: Please be aware that a separate, larger-scale Forklift Indonesia 2026 is scheduled for 20–22 May 2026 at JIExpo Kemayoran, Jakarta.
