WHAT'S HOT

THIRD NATIONAL DIESEL

DIRT & TURF EXPO

®

The sun shone, the wind blew, and they came in their
thousands to visit the 15-hectare site of the 2018
National Diesel Dirt & Turf Expo in Sydney.
The huge attendance of 76,300 people smashed
previous years’ attendance by a whopping 75
percent, firmly establishing this annual event as the
prime focus of Australia’s earthmoving industry.

A truly national event

Significantly, there was a big increase in visitor
numbers from Victoria, Queensland and Western
Australia, as well as many new and returning industry
representatives from Japan, Germany, USA, Sweden,
Malta, Italy and China who see Australia as a major
player in the global earthmoving equipment market.
More than 200 exhibitors representing every facet
of the Australian earthmoving industry reported

excellent sales throughout the Expo, together with

enquiries and leads that will keep sales teams busy

for months to come.

Outstanding stand design

Each year, exhibitors put increasing efforts into

building attractive displays, and this year was no

exception when it came to attracting buyers onto

indoor and outdoor stands.

Kinshofer took off the award for the Best Small

Stand, while Kobelco was awarded Best Medium

Stand. Always innovative, the award of Best Large

Stand was Boss Attachments, who also took out

the Australian Earthmoving Magazine Award and

a $7,000 advertising prize for the Best Stand at the

Expo.
