Lifting Equipment Engineers Association

The Lifting Equipment Engineers Association (LEEA) is established across the world as the leading trade association for all those involved in the lifting industry.

Our members work in every aspect of the lifting industry, from design, manufacture, refurbishment and repair, through to the hire, maintenance and use of lifting equipment.

Our Association has played a key role in this specialised field since 1944, from training and standards setting through to health and safety, the provision of technical and legal advice, and the development of examination and licensing systems.

We represent our members at the highest levels across a range of both public and private bodies, including government departments as well as nationally and internationally recognised professional and technical institutions.

Our vision is: Lifting and height safety industries which have eliminated accidents, injuries and fatalities
Our mission is: To educate, influence and enable so that best practice is everyday action
