Sun shines over a successful first Plantworx

Back in June we exhibited at the Plantworx Construction show as a Group for the very first time. It has been reported that approximately 14,000 visitors attended the show over the three days and we were pleased with the good turnout at another busy exhibition for Blue Machinery.

On the main stand we showcased our industry leading brands and their range of attachments which included breakers, crushing buckets, screening buckets, rippers, shears, pulverisers, grabs, quick couplers and more. We were treated to some glorious sunshine across the three days, so it seemed fitting to keep our visitors cool by setting up a Dustquip dust suppression system to spray mist over the stand!

In addition to the main stand, we also sponsored a challenge in the operator challenge zone hosted by Awesome Earthmovers. Our challenge ‘Pyramid of Tyres’ consisted of a Rammer 777E breaker which had a hook fitted to the end of the chisel. Operators had to use the 777E, which was fitted to a 14 ton excavator, to balance six tyres in the form of a pyramid. The challenge was taken on by hundreds of visiting operators and a host of social media influencers including ‘Conor the Digger Driver’ and ‘Bearded Excavation’.

You may have seen across social media that we were giving away a Rammer breaker at the show, with the winner being able to choose between a 111, 222 and 333. After receiving over 400 entries we drew the winner live on the stand during the last day of the show. Our lucky winner was Ronan Kilroe from Bethell Group who picked a Rammer 222 as his prize. A big thank you to everyone that entered!

Plantworx was our final trade show of 2023 and we now look forward to exhibiting at Scotplant and Hillhead in 2024.
