The early part of February took Powerscreen of California, Nevada, & Hawaii to the World Ag Expo in Tulare, CA, the largest agricultural expo in the world. This impressive 3-day event is a hub for professionals across the agriculture, construction, and materials processing industries, making it the perfect platform to showcase our equipment.

This year, we had three innovative machines on the stand including the newest horizontal grinder from CBI, the 5900T, as well as a Terex Ecotec Phoenix 3300 trommel screener and a Powerscreen CT80 stacking conveyor. These machines were selected for the show as they each play integral roles in the agricultural industry.

The CBI 5900T horizontal grinder, unveiled just months prior, was an attention grabber on our stand. Blending the strongest features from the 6800CT and 5800BT, the 49’4” x 8’6” 5900T possesses a 60” wide infeed rotor, CAT C18 755hp engine, and Metal Detection System to protect the machine from tramp metal, further reducing downtime for users. The center of our stand housed a Powerscreen CT80 mobile conveyor. The CT80 is purpose-built to work in conjunction with the full range of Powerscreen crushing and screening equipment, reaching an overall discharge height of 34’1” and a production capacity of over 551 US tph. Another machine that we had on display was the 105’9” x 51’8” Terex Ecotec Phoenix 300 trommel screener features a 30’6” x 7’6” drum with a powerful bi-directional four-wheel drive system. Designed for various recycling applications such as topsoil, compost, green waste, C&D waste, wood chippings, etc. 

A key highlight of the event was the legislative discussion that we hosted at our booth in collaboration with Associated Equipment Distributors (AED). Featuring three Conservative state assembly members representing various California counties and districts, the talk attracted a strong crowd and boosted foot traffic to our booth. This provided attendees with insights into the legislation impacting the heavy equipment and agricultural sectors, making for an engaging and informative start to the expo.

Beyond the political discussion, the show proved to be a success in allowing our team to not only showcase our machines that are well-known in the Central Valley region but also allowed us to discuss our full product range with guests across multiple industries. We were conscious that not everyone in the region knows that we offer more than just Powerscreen machinery, but we were able to also open the door for guests that could benefit from many of the other brands that we represent, such as Hyundai, Bell Trucks, Kobelco, and Terex EvoQuip. The demand for efficient machinery was evident and our team looks forward to providing solutions to the customers that we met at this expo as well as the continued customers that visited our booth.
