construction equipment
industrymake its triennial
migration to France for the
Intermat exhibition.
IRN
previews the event, ahead
of our full show guide in the
March issue.
Emphasis will be placed on a programme
of educational presentations and training &
demonstration workshops, which are a key
component of allWorldof Concreteevents.
For the rest of the Intermat show, a new exhibition
layout has been introduced – as well as using the
new Hall 7, the show will also take up the outside
demonstration areas together with halls 5A, 5B and
6; insteadof halls 3and4.
And together with the emphasis on concrete
through the WOC Europe partnership, Intermat also
plans to shinea light on thedemolitionand recycling
sector aswell ashand-held construction tools.
Visitors from the rental industry will also have
plenty to see. Morris Site Machinery, for instance,
said itplanned toshowcase itsSMCTL-90LED lighting
tower, featuring five240WLED lampsanda 1500 rpm
Kubotaengine.
The machine runs from mains power via a
changeover switch; alternatively three towers canbe
linked together to run fromoneengineconsecutively,
offering almost 400hours of usage, according to the
company. Morris said the TL-90 LED uses 50% less
fuel thana standard lighting tower.
And the company said it would also have the Hilta
Sprite2 in (559mm) petrol diaphragmpumponshow.
Managing director Phil Winnington said, “With a
long standing reputation for providing innovative
and high performing machinery throughout Europe,
Intermat provides an excellent opportunity for us to
strengthen our existing international business links
through networking and meeting with key decision
makers in the infrastructure and construction
industries.”
