Models from the range of thwaites dumpers will feature at the all new PlantWorx exhibiton for the construction industry. The event has been organised to take the place of the recently cancelled SED shows. Coventry's Stoneleigh park will host the events, beginning with the first show on the 14th May 2013. They will then alternate every two years coinciding with the Hillhead quarry exhibition in Buxton.The UK’s Construction Equipment Association (CEA) has organised the event, which was planned after consultation with over 50 equipment manufacturers from around the UK. Rob Oliver, chief executive of the CEA, said the organisation’s research told them that the event should held every two years, and offer equipment demonstration facilities to a targeted audience in a central location.
Plantworx is said to have the support of many of the biggest manufacturers in the construction industry, many of whom are CEA members. As well as thwaites dumpers, there will be equipment on display from Bomag, Hanix, JCB, Manitou, Merlo, Takeuchi and Volvo. Thwaites will almost certainly be displaying their latest minidumper and other compact dump trucks to visitors.
Colin Wood, chief executive of the UK’s 1450-member Construction Plant Hire Association (CPA) says that despite the tough economic climate, there is a still demand from members of the industry to see plant equipments for sale in action. “We are fully supportive of the CEA with this event,” said Wood. He added: “Our members are keen not just to see plant in a static display, but also in a situation where it can be put through its paces.”
Stoneleigh Park, where Plantworx will be held in May, is a purpose-built outdoor exhibition facility, featuring parking space for 30,000 vehicles. The CEA say the first exhibition will cover 50,000 square metres and attract up to 250 exhibitors.
