Bigger-than-ever Hillhead is sold out

组织者说,excitement is building ahead of 427Hillhead 2012 for what will be the UK’s biggest shop window yet for plant, equipment, materials and services for the minerals and construction industries.

The event, which is offering more live demonstrations, more new plant and equipment and more exhibitors than ever before, is already a sell-out.

“Visitors arriving at the show will be met by a much larger registration pavilion and additional outdoor plots within the showground, where an impressive 461 exhibitors such as 3006Finning 395Caterpillar, 460Sandvik, 633杰西博, 385Atlas Copco and many others, will be showcasing their latest products and innovations,” say the organisers.

“A vast array of kit will be on show for the first time including, on the Finning stand, the first new 300tonne class Cat 6030 mining hydraulic excavator to appear in public in the UK. Among the many other novelties, 448Metso will be showing off its LT120 mobile jaw crusher and HP3 high-density static cone crusher; 473Volvo Construction Equipment’s EC250D crawler excavator will be making its debut appearance together with the company’s new L220G wheel loader; the 668Terex Finlay 684 inclined screen will be revealed for the first time in the UK; 2983Bell Equipment’s much-anticipated E-Series ADT will be unveiled, and 641Parker Plant will be showing two completely new highly mobile concrete batching plants, the ConStar 750 and the semi-trailer ConStar 1500.”

The three main live demonstration areas at Hillhead (Quarry Face, Rock Processing and Recycling) will also be “buzzing with activity” as a huge range of plant and equipment is put to the test.

“A 664Stelex 4670Hercules trommel screen will share the Quarry Face area with plethora of mobile plant, including a 75tonne 439Liebherr 954HD in faceshovel configuration; a multitude of mobile crushing and screening equipment, including Terex Finlay’s new J1170 jaw crusher and 684 screener, will be hard at work in the Rock Processing area, while in the Recycling section numerous machines, both large and compact, including a Hammel VB950DK shredder, will be dealing with the vagaries of construction and demolition waste.”

The three-day event at Hillhead Quarry, near Buxton, County Derbyshire, England, opens on Tuesday 19 June and runs until 21 June, and visitors to the show are advised to register in advance for a fast-track entry badge.
