More than 90% of the exhibition space is already allocated with over six months still to go before the biggest working quarry show anywhere in the world opens. Major players such as Volvo, Sandvik, Metso, Terex Group, Finning/Caterpillar, Liebherr and Bell Equipment have already reserved their booth space. Event director Jack Berridge said that demand for space over the summer had been very buoyant and the site plan had filled up very quickly. In the 2012 Olympic year, the show dates have been brought forward by one week to June 19 - 21, 2012. The showground covers approximately 140,000 m2 and includes outdoor display areas (105,000 m2), covered pavilions (3,500 m2) and extensive working demonstration areas (35,000 m2). There are three categories of working demonstration area: Quarry face – large wheel loaders and excavators load dumptrucks from a 10,000 t rock pile and hydraulic breakers are used for secondary breaking; Rock Processing – a wide variety of screens and crushers are used to process material into single-size or graded products; and Recycling – well over 1,000 t of waste material is sorted, crushed, shredded, screened, and stockpiled into reusable aggregate or waste material. Since the first event at Hillhead Quarry, in 1983, the biennial show covers quarrying, mining, recycling, heavy construction, materials handling, concrete, asphalt, road-surfacing, civil engineering, plant hire, demolition and landfill.
