EXPAND YOUR FLEET AND SEE THE LATEST MACHINES IN ACTION- LIVE DEMOS AT

The number one destination for all things plant and machinery in the UK in 2025 awesomeearthmovers.com37

Experts forecast that in 2026, construction across the UK will accelerate. From large road and rail projects to essential housing developments, demand for cutting-edge machinery and skilled workers is set to soar.

The industry’s growing focus on technology, data and carbon reduction means organisations must adapt quickly. Whether it’s deploying electric-powered machines for low-emission zones or exploring automated plant to boost safety, businesses that embrace innovation now will be in a stronger position once the market really takes off.

Why PlantWorx 2025 is unmissable

Happening from 23rd to 25th September 2025 at its new home at Newark Showground, PlantWorx is already shaping up to be the largest working construction show in the UK in 2025. The figures are impressive: over 300 exhibitors and 15,000 visitors are expected to attend

PlantWorx sets itself apart by offering live, working demonstrations. Visitors don’t have to imagine how a new excavator or machine will perform on-site; they can watch it digging, lifting, or rotating in real time – and with the corresponding operating qualifications and PPE, you can ‘try before you buy’ on many of the stands.

Many of the industry’s biggest names – such as Finning UK, RSP UK Suction Excavators Ltd, SANY Heavy Machinery UK Ltd, Sunward, Avant Techno, XCMG, Hydrema, Mecalac, Kubota, Steelwrist, Hidromek, Rototilt, Worsley Plant, Xwatch Safety Solutions, Leica Geosystems, UK Power

Networks, Takeuchi, Merlo, Manitou, and National Highways – and many more will be on hand to showcase their latest offerings. Even if you recently travelled to bauma in Munich, PlantWorx 2025 is the prime chance to experience groundbreaking tech right here in the UK.

Exclusive machinery launches

If you want to see brand-new equipment before anyone else, PlantWorx 2025 should be on your calendar. Many machines revealed at bauma will make their UK debut at Newark Showground, but with some of the biggest manufacturers skipping bauma this time, PlantWorx will be the first place to see their latest innovations. From electric compact excavators to advanced telematics dashboards, the range of equipment on display will cover everything from day-to-day construction tasks to future-facing digital solutions.

Introducing the ‘Shared Dig Zone’

One of the newest features at PlantWorx 2025 is the Shared Dig Zone – an innovation designed to make live demonstrations more accessible to a broader range of exhibitors. Companies can book a 45-minute slot in a dedicated demonstration zone, with 15 minutes beforehand to set up. This means even smaller firms or those without the resources for a full demo plot can still showcase their machinery in realistic conditions.

A dedicated zone manager will keep everything running smoothly, ensuring quick changeovers and helping exhibitors make the most of their allocated time.

There’s even a PA system for running commentary, so attendees can understand the technical details as they watch the kit in action. This approach opens up the show to a broader pool of technology, allowing visitors to compare machines side by side and see exactly how they perform under similar conditions.

Awesome Earthmovers PlantWorx Operator Challenge

Back by popular demand, the Operator Challenge returns to PlantWorx 2025, giving operators the chance to compete for cash prizes. But this year, we’ve decided to shake things up a bit. The challenges are all designed by Instagram sensation ‘Welder Fabber’, bringing a fresh, innovative twist to the competition. These new tests will push precision and skill to the limit, showcasing just what operators are capable of. It’s open to everyone, so whether you’re taking part or just watching, it’s where (some of) the action is at PlantWorx.
