18 June 2010
Hillhead, one of the world’s largest quarry & construction events returned in June (22th -24th). As usual Scanlaser were exhibiting at the event, alongside many of the world’s leading manufacturers and suppliers at Tarmac’s Hillhead Quarry, near Buxton, Derbyshire, with a huge range of exhibits on static display and/or live demonstrations.
As with previous shows, this year’s event was well received, with most people pleased to see Hillhead return. Even before the show started, it was evident that many visitors had high hopes for Hillhead 2010. In January, organizers of the SED construction equipment exhibition decided to postpone this year’s event due to the current economic situation.
When Hillhead 2010 finally opened for business, the first full day saw thousands filtering through the showground and pavilions, taking in the wealth of sights and sounds coming from every direction. The Scanlaser stand was particularly busy as we showcased our new range of civil engineering solutions; in particular the new Leica PowerDigger system on a JCB JS160.
Also on show were the new Leica PowerGrade GNSS/TPS systems – with their unique ‘PowerSnap’ concept and feature packed design, they are ready for success in the UK market. In the heat of the summer sun, the three day event was extremely well received by most visitors and Scanlaser would like to thank all of the visitors who stopped by our stand.
