INDUSTRY>NEWS Heavy equipment show set to hit Moncton again After a pandemic-forced hiatus, the Maritime’s largest trade show for Heavy Equipment is set to return to the Moncton Coliseum this April for a live event with equipment on location for visitors to check out. Traditionally held every second year, its most recent edition, held in pre-pandemic times, attracted a record-breaking 14,800 visitors to its show floor in 2018. Looking to capture the energy seen from that edition — the largest turnout in
the event’s 36-year history — the coliseum will be filled indoors and out with exhibits of machinery and the products and services that keep the forestry and road building industries running day in and day out. Set for April 13 and 14, the show presents an opportunity for visitors to connect with hundreds of exhibitors displaying cutting-edge equipment over an expanse of more than 200,000 square feet of exhibit space.
“We have a near sold-out floorplan and final preparations are starting to get underway,” said show manager Mark Cusack. “We’re looking forward to meeting thousands of people from the road building and forestry sectors from throughout the Maritimes at this year’s event.” For more details about the show, including exhibitor and product announcements, follow the event on Facebook and Instagram, or visit www.ahes.ca.
