Part 1: Industry Momentum & First Impressions

Setting the Scene at DCW London

Showcasing IXOLIFT DataLift in the heart of London’s data centre hub has been a fantastic experience. The engagement, conversations, and sheer interest from industry leaders, innovators, and the wider ecosystem were nothing short of inspiring.

It’s remarkable to witness how far the data centre industry has come. The momentum today is fivefold what it was just five years ago — the supplier ecosystem has grown by an estimated 50–80% since 2020, driven by the expansion of infrastructure segments, vendor product lines, and an ever-growing addressable market.

Industry Scale: By the Numbers

• Over 15,000 visitors attended Data Centre World London 2026
• More than 300 exhibitors represented the global DC ecosystem
• 50–80% estimated growth in the supplier ecosystem since 2020
• Industry momentum is 5x what it was five years ago

Key Trends Observed on the Floor

The pace of growth, the shift toward smarter operations, and the collective push for safer, more efficient server handling solutions are clearly shaping the future of our sector. The “who’s who” of the data centre world were all under one roof — and the conversations reflected a shared sense of urgency around operational excellence.

A huge thank you to everyone who stopped by the Daxten Limited stand, tested the equipment, asked thoughtful questions, and shared valuable insights — and special thanks to Phillip McGuinness and John Donald for their partnership.

Part 2: When Innovation Proves Itself Live

Live Demonstrations of the IXOLIFT DataLift E Max

Following the incredible buzz from the first part of the show, the second half of the DCW London 2026 experience took things to a whole new level — with live demonstrations of the IXOLIFT DataLift E Max in action.

From the moment the demos began, DC operators, implementation teams, and investors immediately understood why the E Max has become the trusted choice for Tier 1 and hyperscale environments. Seeing its capability firsthand made all the difference.

What Convinced Them: E Max Key Capabilities

Effortless Lifting of Heavy IT Equipment

The E Max is engineered for demanding server loads — handling up to 500 kg for heavy migrations with precision and stability.

Safer, Smarter Operations

Built to prevent injury and protect valuable IT hardware, the E Max meets stringent European and international safety standards: EN ISO 3691-5:2020, EN ISO 12100:2010, and Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC.

One-Operator Efficiency

Teams were impressed by how easily a single operator could navigate tight aisles, rotate on the spot, and position equipment accurately — even in dense rack rows.

Zero Oil Leaks + Low Maintenance

The oil-free gearbox design and clean operation make the E Max ideal for sensitive data hall environments — reducing mess and minimising downtime.

True Agility in Real-World Rack Conditions

The side-loading capability, dual-mast visibility, and front wheel lock from the control panel were standout features during live demos — showcasing how the E Max adapts to practical racking situations in the field.

The Operator Verdict

“When operators try the E Max themselves, they immediately see the ROI in safety, time, and operational excellence.”
