That’s the Executive Hire Show over for another year and what a year it was – visitor numbers are still to be confirmed as the team are busy de-duping the list to ensure numbers are 100% accurate. Although early indications are good and the exhibitors I spoke to were very happy with the show.
New exhibitors Cemo Safe Storage said via Facebook that they had a good show with some very positive responses. MCS-rm Hire and Rental Software reported a fantastic first day and an overall very good show and is already looking forward to next year. AFI Uplift, MHM Plant and Genset reported on twitter that they too had a fantastic show!

One exhibitor who was particularly happy about the show was first-time exhibitor Global Construction Plant & Equipment, who triumphed in the Innovation Zone at the Executive Hire Show, with its Pro-Screen PG12V-84 battery powered screener. Hirers visiting the Show voted it as their favourite from 14 Finalists that had been selected by an independent panel of hire professionals.
Powered by heavy-duty batteries providing up to 11 hours’ continuous use, the screener accepts screens varying from 6 to 100mm, which can be changed in less than five minutes. The deck can be angled to suit wet or dry material and the machine can be moved on site using pallet forks or machine buckets.
As it does not require an electricity supply, the machine can be used in many outdoor locations, enabling users to meet on-site recycling responsibilities. It can screen materials as diverse as soil, gravel, drainage materials and aggregates, appealing to many markets for creating compost, mulch, chippings and other re-useable materials.
The Innovation Zone, whish is sponsored by Speedy Hire, celebrates new equipment addressing issues that hirers and end users are concerned about, such as safety, efficiency, quality and environmental impact. Other Finalists ranged from cordless power tools and work at height solutions, to fuel efficient engines and low energy lighting towers.
The Finalists were displayed in the large Innovation Zone situated in the new ‘Top Tier’ of the Show. All visitors were invited to vote for their favourite product by leaving a business card in the ballot box beside their chosen item, with the Pro-Screen emerging as the winner.
