Heavy Equipment and Machinery Show 2023 drew a big crowd

Biennial construction trade show in Queensland attracted over 5000 visitors over four days

The 2023 Heavy Equipment and Machinery Show that was held from May 18 to 21, 2023, has broken previous years’ records with over 5500 attendees having visited the event and more than 50 exhibitors display their services and wares at the show this year.

For 2023, the show was moved from its previous site at Hamilton Northshore to the Brisbane Showgrounds, and was once again held in partnership with the Brisbane Truck Show, which was held at the same time as the Heavy Equipment and Machinery Show.

The partnership allowed visitors to purchase a ticket that allows access to both shows as well as a free shuttle service that connects the two exhibitions.

One of the highlights of the Heavy Equipment and Machinery Show was the live auction conducted by naming sponsor Pickles Industrial, marking their first live auction at the show since the COVID-19 pandemic. The auction was a huge success with successful transactions made.

The Queensland REDS rugby team also made a special guest appearance at the show courtesy of major event supporter, TFH Hire Services, much to the delight of visitors.
