What you should see at Hillhead 2024

The must-see equipment on show for demolition and recycling contractors.

WHERE IS IT? Hillhead Quarry, Buxton, United Kingdom

WHEN IS IT? 25 to 27 June www.hillhead.com

In a matter of weeks the Hillhead 2024 equipment exhibition in the United Kingdom, which in 2022 attracted 18,000 visitors, will once again return its Buxton Quarry showground, taking place from 25 to 27 of June.

While the event is smaller in terms of visitor numbers than the likes of ConExpo and Bauma Munich, its focus on quarrying, material handling, recycling and demolition, ensures that those who do attend are guaranteed to find exactly what they need.

But with over 200 product categories, finding things can be a bit of a challenge.

So, to help demolition and recycling contractors save time, here’s a brief list of the most highly anticipated equipment that will be on display.

CDE

When it comes to recycling equipment, industry heavyweight CDE is to showcase the FreeFlow Mobile Washing Plant.

Claimed to be the only machine of its kind available on the market in the world, the FreeFlow is a trailer mounted plant for aggregate and sand classification.

It offers a capacity of up to 70 tph and can be used with a range of materials, such as sand, gravel, crushed rock, scalpings, sand and overburden.
