Powerscreen kicks off 60th Anniversary Year at CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2026
Powerscreen®, a global pioneer in mobile crushing, screening, and conveying
solutions, will mark its first major event in the brand’s 60th anniversary year at
CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2026, on the Terex Booth in the Silver Lot (SV2357) at
the Las Vegas Convention Centre from March 3–7. As North America’s largest
construction trade show, CONEXPO provides a fitting stage for a brand whose
history of innovation have helped shape the modern materials processing
industry. On display will be two Powerscreen machines making their show
debut; the 1300X Maxtrak and Trakpactor 480SR.
The 1300X Maxtrak represents the next step in the brand’s cone crushing line,
advancing the legacy of its predecessors with a focus on cubicity, throughput
and consistent performance for secondary and tertiary applications. Alongside it,
the Trakpactor 480SR, particularly designed to meet the needs of the U.S.
market, returns in an enhanced configuration, now available with an
independent pre-screen and underpan feeder that build on the impactor’s strong
reception since its initial launch in 2023. Both machines reflect Powerscreen’s
long-standing commitment to delivering reliability, versatility and operator
focused engineering.
The year 2026 marks six decades since the founding of Ulster Plant Ltd in County Tyrone,
Northern Ireland, the small but visionary operation that would grow into today’s
Powerscreen. From those early days, the brand established a reputation for pioneering the
concept of mobile screening and bringing equipment directly to the quarry face. This became
a global shift in how operators work, and that same mindset continues to guide
Powerscreen’s product development, engineering and customer relationships today.
Powerscreen has earned its position in the industry not only through technological
leadership but through deep relationships with customers and distributors. Its global
distribution network, recognised as one of the strongest anywhere in the sector, provides
rapid access to parts, service and expertise, ensuring operators remain productive in the
field no matter where they are located.
“Celebrating 60 years is not simply a milestone, it is a tribute to our people who have shaped
Powerscreen since day one,” said Sean Loughran, Business Line Director for Powerscreen.
“CONEXPO-CON/AGG is the ideal place to begin this anniversary year, because it brings
together our customers and distributors who have been integral to our journey. As we enter
our seventh decade, innovations such as the 1300X Maxtrak and the Trakpactor 480SR
demonstrate our ongoing commitment to setting the standard for performance, safety and
reliability.”
