Nearby, the Rock Processing area, also known as “Crusher Alley”, will feature tracked and skid-mounted crushers, screens, scalping grids and stockpiling conveyors in action, while the East Demo Area will host specialist crushers, shredders, screens and washing equipment.

Rock processing and recycling demonstrations will also take place within the Registration area.

Recognised as the leading construction equipment exhibition for the UK and Ireland, Hillhead 2026 will bring together a total of 620 exhibitors from across the quarrying, construction and recycling sectors.
