Russia’s construction sector doesn’t slow down. Across the country, major infrastructure projects are pushing forward — highways, industrial zones, logistics parks, manufacturing facilities. The companies supplying equipment for those projects need a serious platform to meet the buyers running them.
CTT Russia 2026 is that platform. Russia’s leading international exhibition for construction machinery and engineering equipment, CTT Russia 2026 runs from May 26 to 29, 2026 at Crocus Expo IEC in Moscow — four days of live equipment demonstrations, procurement conversations, and direct access to the most active construction and industrial buyers across Russia and the CIS region.
GRADIN — a custom industrial equipment manufacturer headquartered in Jinan, China, specializing in scissor lift platforms, cargo elevators, hydraulic systems, chain hoists, conveyor systems, and AGV infrastructure — will exhibit at Hall 2, Booth 2-27 across all four days.
What is CTT Russia
CTT Russia is Russia’s most established international exhibition for construction machinery and engineering equipment. It runs every two years and brings together manufacturers, distributors, and end-users from across Russia, the CIS region, and global markets. For anyone working in construction, infrastructure, or heavy industrial operations in this part of the world — this is the show.
A Long-Running Industry Benchmark
CTT has been running since 1999. Over more than two decades it has built a reputation as the most technically credible construction equipment exhibition in the Russian-speaking market. Exhibitors come here not just to show product, but to engage seriously with buyers who have real projects and real timelines. The atmosphere is less about spectacle and more about substance — which is exactly why procurement teams keep returning.
Who Walks the Floor
The visitor profile is overwhelmingly B2B. Construction company directors evaluating equipment fleets. Site managers specifying machinery for upcoming contracts. Procurement heads from large infrastructure developers. Plant and facility engineers sourcing material handling upgrades. These are decision-makers, not browsers — and that changes the quality of every conversation on the floor.
Why It Still Matters in 2026
The Russian construction market has continued to develop, driven by domestic infrastructure priorities and regional development programs across Siberia, the Far East, and major urban centers. CTT Russia 2026 reflects that momentum. The exhibitor list spans earthmoving machinery, cranes and hoisting systems, concrete equipment, road construction machinery, and material handling technology — covering the full breadth of what a serious construction operation needs.
CTT Russia 2026 Event Details
Before you commit to attending, here is what you need to know.
Dates, Venue, and Layout
May 26–29, 2026. Crocus Expo IEC, Moscow.
Four days on one of Russia’s largest and best-equipped exhibition floors. Crocus Expo IEC sits in the northwest of Moscow near the MKAD ring road — accessible by car, and connected to the city’s metro network via Myakinino station on the Arbatsko-Pokrovskaya line. The venue regularly hosts major international trade events and is well-organized for large-scale machinery exhibitions, with high ceilings, wide aisles, and strong logistics support for exhibitors bringing heavy equipment.
GRADIN will be in Hall 2 at Booth 2-27 — easy to find once you’re in the building.
Who Should Make the Trip
If your work involves buying, specifying, or managing construction or industrial equipment in Russia or the broader CIS region, CTT Russia 2026 is worth four days of your schedule. The show is particularly valuable for operations that are planning fleet upgrades, evaluating new equipment categories for the first time, or sourcing suppliers for upcoming project contracts.
International visitors also attend — the show has genuine reach across Belarus, Kazakhstan, Ukraine-adjacent markets, and Central Asia. If you’re a global manufacturer or equipment distributor looking for entry points into these markets, the floor is full of the right people.
Registering and Preparing in Advance
Check the official exhibition website for registration details and the full exhibitor directory. Getting the directory before the show is worth the effort — it lets you build a realistic floor route rather than wandering. If GRADIN is on your list, reach out before May 26 to schedule a dedicated meeting at Hall 2, Booth 2-27.
Why Moscow is a Strategic Market for Construction Equipment
Moscow is not just where CTT Russia happens to be held. It is the operational and commercial center of one of the world’s most active construction equipment markets.
The Scale of Russia’s Construction Industry
Russia is a large country with a large construction sector. The figures are not small — millions of square meters of housing, industrial, and commercial space are delivered annually. Road construction, rail infrastructure, port development, and energy facility construction all run simultaneously across different regions. The equipment requirements that come with that scale are substantial and continuous. Suppliers that get established in this market tend to stay.
Infrastructure Investment as a Long-Term Driver
Russian federal infrastructure programs have consistently prioritized roads, bridges, industrial parks, and logistics facilities. These programs run on multi-year timelines, which means the procurement cycles for equipment attached to them are long and the relationships that support those cycles matter. CTT Russia 2026 is where many of those relationships start — or continue.
The Gateway into CIS and Eurasian Markets
Moscow’s position in the broader Eurasian economic zone gives CTT Russia reach well beyond the Russian market. Buyers from Kazakhstan, Belarus, Uzbekistan, and other CIS countries regularly attend. For equipment manufacturers and suppliers looking to establish or expand their footprint across this region, four days at Crocus Expo can open more doors than months of individual market outreach.
Key Equipment and Technologies at CTT Russia 2026
The exhibition floor covers the full spectrum of what serious construction and industrial operations need. Here’s a practical breakdown.
Construction Machinery and Heavy Equipment
Excavators, wheel loaders, bulldozers, road graders, compaction equipment, tower cranes — the core machinery categories are all well-represented. This is the category that drives the highest footfall at CTT Russia, and the live demonstration areas give buyers a chance to evaluate equipment under realistic operating conditions rather than through a brochure. If you are specifying machinery for a large civil engineering or infrastructure project, this part of the floor is worth extended time.
Material Handling and Lifting Solutions
Scissor lifts, cargo elevators, hydraulic platforms, chain hoists, conveyor systems, and AGV infrastructure are all present at CTT Russia. These are the systems that determine how efficiently materials move inside a construction facility, a production plant, or an industrial distribution center. GRADIN’s industrial logistics equipment covers this category in full — and Booth 2-27 in Hall 2 is the place to see it, discuss specifications, and explore custom engineering options.

Smart Construction and Digital Integration
The more interesting development at recent CTT exhibitions has been the growing presence of digital and connected technologies alongside the physical machinery. Fleet management platforms. Remote diagnostics for heavy equipment. IoT-enabled maintenance monitoring. Construction site management software. These tools don’t replace the machines — but they significantly change how those machines are managed, maintained, and deployed across large and complex project environments.
Visit GRADIN at Hall 2, Booth 2-27
If your operation involves heavy loads, multi-level material movement, or continuous-flow production — Hall 2, Booth 2-27 is where you should spend time at CTT Russia 2026.
What GRADIN Will Showcase
GRADIN’s exhibit covers the company’s full range of industrial lifting and material handling solutions. At the booth you can review and discuss:
- Scissor lift platforms — for elevated access and multi-level load transfer in industrial environments
- Cargo elevators — engineered for vertical logistics inside factories, warehouses, and production buildings
- Hydraulic systems — built for high-load, high-cycle applications where standard equipment doesn’t hold up
- Chain hoists — precision vertical movement for assembly lines and production operations
- Conveyor systems — continuous or indexed flow across manufacturing and distribution layouts
- AGV-compatible infrastructure — designed to integrate with semi-automated and fully guided transport systems
Every product ships in standard configurations or is fully engineered to client specifications. Load capacity, platform dimensions, duty cycle, control interface, safety compliance — all of it can be adapted to your facility’s actual requirements.
Engineering Depth Behind Every Product
GRADIN is not a catalog supplier. The company takes a project-based approach: understand the facility, understand the load profile, understand the operating environment — then build the right solution for that specific situation. That matters most when you’re dealing with unusual building dimensions, non-standard load cycles, or industry-specific certification requirements. A lot of buyers at CTT Russia work in exactly those conditions.
If a standard product fits your brief, GRADIN will tell you. If it doesn’t, you’ll find that out before procurement, not after installation.
Set Up a Meeting Before May 26
A scheduled booth conversation is always more productive than a walk-in. Contact the GRADIN team before the exhibition opens to book a dedicated slot at Hall 2, Booth 2-27. Come with your facility drawings, load requirements, and project timeline — and leave with a concrete technical recommendation.
How CTT Russia Drives Industry Connections
Four days at the right exhibition can compress what would otherwise take a year of vendor research and market development. Here’s how CTT Russia makes that happen.
Compressed Procurement Research
Finding credible equipment suppliers through normal channels — web searches, cold outreach, reference calls, factory visits — takes months. CTT Russia puts the most relevant suppliers in one building for four days. A procurement team can compare multiple conveyor manufacturers, watch competing lifting systems run side by side, and have preliminary commercial conversations with shortlisted vendors before leaving Moscow. That kind of compression has real value when project timelines are running.
Technical Sessions and Knowledge Exchange
CTT Russia typically runs a conference program alongside the exhibition floor. Industry sessions cover regulatory updates affecting construction equipment operations in Russia, case studies from large infrastructure projects, and technology trend discussions relevant to the regional market. These sessions are worth attending if you need strategic context for a procurement decision — not just product specifications.
Long-Term Supplier Relationships
The most durable outcomes from trade exhibitions are rarely the ones that close on the floor. They start as conversations, develop through follow-up, and become multi-year supply relationships. CTT Russia creates the right conditions for that kind of connection — shared context, qualified counterparts, and enough time to have a real conversation. For GRADIN, which works with clients on long-term projects rather than one-off transactions, the exhibition is a natural environment for exactly that kind of relationship-building.
How to Plan Your Visit to CTT Russia 2026
A bit of preparation before you arrive makes the whole trip more productive.
Getting to Crocus Expo Moscow
Crocus Expo IEC is located near the Moscow Ring Road (MKAD) in the city’s northwest. By metro, take the Arbatsko-Pokrovskaya line to Myakinino station — the venue is a short walk from the exit. By car, the ring road access makes it straightforward from most parts of the city. If you’re traveling from outside Moscow, Sheremetyevo International Airport is approximately 20–25 minutes away depending on traffic, which makes it one of the more accessible major exhibition venues in the city.
Hotels near the venue and along the metro line fill up during CTT Russia. Book early, particularly if you’re arriving for the opening day on May 26.
Building Your Floor Agenda
Download the full exhibitor list before you arrive and organize your priority visits by equipment category and urgency. Mark GRADIN at Hall 2, Booth 2-27 as an early stop — having a clear reference point for lifting and material handling specifications early in your visit makes it easier to compare what you see at other booths afterward.
If the conference program is published in advance, identify the two or three sessions most relevant to your current procurement decisions or project planning. Don’t try to attend everything.
Arriving With a Specific Brief
The visitors who extract the most value from CTT Russia come with defined objectives. Two or three equipment categories to evaluate seriously. A shortlist of vendors to have real conversations with. Specific technical questions that need answering before a procurement decision can move forward.
If GRADIN’s lifting or material handling equipment is relevant to an upcoming project, treat your booth visit as a working consultation. Bring facility drawings, load requirements, duty cycle parameters, and any compliance constraints. The more specific your brief, the more useful the conversation — and the faster a proposal can follow.
