Live Demonstrations You Can Feel in Your Boots
Let’s face it, pictures and videos are great, but nothing beats seeing a 20-tonne machine in action right in front of you. That’s the beauty of PlantWorx: live machinery demonstrations are baked into the event.
From earthmoving monsters to nimble electric diggers, visitors can get up close and personal with the latest tools of the trade. Exhibitors don’t just show off their kit—they prove what it can do in the field.
And for equipment buyers, this is invaluable. You can compare models, chat with engineers, and even see how the machines handle under pressure.
The Return of the Legendary Operators Challenge
Back by popular demand, the Operators Challenge returns for 2025—and it’s set to be a show-stealer once again. This crowd-puller pits skilled machine operators against a series of technical and fun challenges designed to test precision, speed, and control.
Whether you’re entering to compete or cheering from the side-lines, it’s a brilliant reminder of the talent and dexterity that power the industry.
So, if you think you’ve got what it takes, now’s your chance to get involved. Besides the bragging rights, there’s always a surprise or two in store for top contenders.
