Live Demonstrations
The working demonstration areas are what make Hillhead unique. Having the opportunity to see plant and equipment doing a real ‘job of work’ in a live quarry environment is invaluable for both exhibitors and visitors alike.
There are four separate demonstration areas:
Quarry Face - three benches spanning the length of the quarry face will host over 35 machines including excavators, wheel loaders, dumptrucks, dozers, cold planers, hydraulic breakers, screening buckets and mist cannons.
Rock Processing - also known as 'Crusher Alley' where a range of tracked and skid-mounted crushers, screens, scalping grids and stockpiling conveyors can be viewed.
Recycling - located to the south of the exhibition site, this area shows a range of specialist crushers, shredders, screens and washing equipment.
Registration - this area hosts rock processing and recycling demonstrations.
