Maskinexpo keeps growing

The exhibition beat the old records, both in number of exhibitors and visitors! 528 exhibitors shared a total exhibition space of more than 300,000 square meters. In three days, almost 28,000 visited Maskinexpo, taking place at Barkarby Airfield in Stockholm, Sweden.

At the exhibitions largest stand, Swecon (the swedish Volvo CE dealer), the Volvo Wheel loader simulator was at display. They had also arranged a competition using the simulator, were the first price was a miniature of a EC700B. 
Of course many visitors competed and was very impressed by the training simulator. 

"This simulator is the best I have ever tried. It is very close to real life!" says Bosse Modin (the second picture), Machine instructor at YA.

Among drilling rigs and equipment in Atlas Copco´s stand was also the Surface drilling rig ROC D9 at display. A full cab with a motion platform enabling generous tilt angles makes the experience very authentic and as always, the simulator is a appreciated and fun feature of the exhibition.
