The presentation by the manufacturers <strong>and</strong> distributors<br />

of construction equipment <strong>and</strong> heavy utility vehicles at the<br />

8th quarry demonstration exhibition in the late summer of<br />

next year will be even more impressive than at steinexpo<br />

2008. The demonstrations of the major equipment will <strong>for</strong><br />

instance be professionally presented.<br />

Without it, nothing takes place in raw material<br />

plants <strong>and</strong> building materials companies. Excavators,<br />

wheel loader, dump trucks, heavy vehicles, special<br />

trucks with extra-strong superstructures: all of these<br />

construction machinery <strong>and</strong> specialist transporters<br />

can be seen daily <strong>and</strong> by the dozen on construction<br />

sites. Amazing how different <strong>and</strong> how much more<br />

powerful they appear against the impressive<br />

backdrop of a quarry, <strong>and</strong> even more so in front of a<br />

quarry wall. In fact, in this setting they not only appear<br />

different, they mostly are. The manufacturers equip<br />

these special models <strong>for</strong> dem<strong>and</strong>ing applications in<br />

raw materials plants with adaptations that distinguish<br />

them even from same size “normal” construction site<br />

machinery. For this reason <strong>and</strong> also because of the<br />

vibrant, live operating atmosphere so similar to the<br />

daily production in the quarry, the deployment of the<br />

machinery within the context of the steinexpo is so<br />

popular.<br />

In individual discussions with manufacturers<br />

this summer it became clear how intense the<br />

preparations <strong>for</strong> steinexpo 2011 already were,<br />

<strong>and</strong> this was confirmed again during a site visit<br />

in Nieder-Ofleiden at the end of September 2010.<br />

Exhibitors from the processing machinery sector<br />

met here with the planners of the trade fair <strong>and</strong><br />

exhibition organisers Geoplan GmbH to have their<br />

ideas of the live presentation incorporated as a fixed<br />

component of the conceptual process. None of the<br />

major suppliers want to miss this spectacular <strong>and</strong><br />

impressive opportunity to present their innovative<br />

strength. Confirmed registrations by Zeppelin<br />

Baumaschinen GmbH <strong>for</strong> the Caterpillar br<strong>and</strong>,<br />

<strong>and</strong> Volvo CE, Komatsu, Liebherr, Bell, Doosan, <strong>and</strong><br />

Kiesel <strong>for</strong> the current Hitachi machines were already<br />

received at an early stage. JCB <strong>and</strong> Langendorf have<br />

also booked exhibition space.<br />

The presentation by the manufacturers <strong>and</strong> distributors of<br />

construction equipment <strong>and</strong> heavy utility vehicles at the 8th quarry<br />

demonstration exhibition in the late summer of next year will be even<br />

more impressive than at steinexpo 2008. The demonstrations of the<br />

EVENTS<br />

Partnership in all areas is very<br />

important<br />

As in 2008, at the next steinexpo some interesting<br />

combinations at the demonstrations will again be on the<br />

cards, such as the leading br<strong>and</strong>s in the preparation <strong>and</strong><br />

the construction equipment applications sector being<br />

next to each other <strong>and</strong> partly together. How should a<br />

crusher or a screen operate without the necessary<br />

aid in the <strong>for</strong>m of the transportation <strong>and</strong> feeding of the<br />

material anyway?<br />
