10 CONEXPO-CON/AGG Booths You Definitely Need to Visit
CONEXPO cometh. In fact, it starts today. We’re talking about the biggest tradeshow in America by physical size. It only happens every three years, and most of it is centered around construction equipment. CONEXPO-CON/AGG will happen again March 14-18 in Las Vegas (this week). We’re already there. So is everyone else. The show is bigger than ever too. The 2023 iteration is nearly 5 percent bigger than the record set in 2020 and will feature 1,800 exhibitors. There will also be 150 educational sessions, and topics will range from “Why Gen Z Eats Sustainability” to “Building Blocks of an Effective Equipment Budget.”
Despite being the largest CONEXPO ever, recent additions to the Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC) will make it the easiest to get around as well. Beneath the entire LVCC campus runs the Convention Center Loop, an underground transportation system designed by Elon Musk’s The Boring Co. that transports convention attendees throughout the campus in under two minutes in Tesla vehicles, free of charge.
Understanding how to get around will be important — because there’s going to be a lot to see. For starters, the exhibitors listed below should be at the top of your list when exploring next generation compact equipment. Let’s start with…
ASA Electronics
Booth # N13032
Join ASA Electronics at booth #N13032 in Las Vegas to preview the future of awareness with mobile observation. The innovative tech leader will highlight their new solutions to optimize the construction industry. ASA will display its Voyager 360 system, an OE-friendly system that stitches together images from four high-definition cameras, automatically creating a seamless, 360-degree panoramic view around the entire vehicle. Auto-calibrating technology minimizes installation time, so drivers can maximize visibility and minimize accidents. Visitors to the ASA booth can speak to mobile observation experts on the system’s benefits and other details. ASA offers the industry’s most efficient way to stay aware of surroundings, leading to increased driver and vehicle safety. Learn more at asaelectronics.com.

Hatz at CONEXPO 2023: Steel and iron, bits and bytes
Booth # S-85429
Hatz has transformed from a manufacturer of high-quality, compact diesel engines into a technology company. Alternative drives, sustainability and digital solutions for machine operators are just as much a part of the range on offer from the company as the traditional diesel engines. The benefits resulting from this combination can be experienced live at the CONEXPO 2023 tradeshow in March in Las Vegas.
Hatz is committed to the goal of zero emissions. The traditional German company with one of its biggest branches in the United States is successfully transforming itself from a manufacturer of robust and excellent compact diesel engines to a technology leader for precisely tailored drive systems that will be needed in compact machines on the construction site in the future. Hatz continues to develop the combustion engine but also stands for hybrid and electric drive concepts: the right solution for the respective application, regardless of the underlying technology. These drives are complemented by digital services and IoT functionalities. These make life easier especially for rentals and contractors getting the most out of their equipment and their business.
Based on excellent application and technological expertise and decades of experience in the development of high-performance industrial diesel engines for compact work machinery, especially for construction, Hatz develops highly innovative solutions and technologies.

Loftness to Showcase New Battle Ax Updates at CONEXPO
Booth # D1436
Loftness has made recent updates to its popular Battle Ax mulching head, which will be on display at CONEXPO. The Battle Ax is defined by its unique rotor with built-in depth gauges, which function similarly to raker teeth on chainsaws to prevent the attachment from engaging too much material at one time. This design is more ideal for managing the amount of material being fed into the attachment than ring-style rotors, which many operators find to be overly limiting. It also has the Loftness-exclusive two-stage cutting chamber, which allows the Battle Ax to process material more thoroughly than competitive mulching heads, since it has two separate shear bars.
The Battle Ax is offered with multiple cutting teeth options to meet customer needs. The teeth are mounted to the rotor with a single bolt and can be easily reversed, replaced or removed on the jobsite using a common hex socket. Other standard features of the Battle Ax include an efficient staggered/spiral tooth pattern, machined anti-wrap bearing protection and premium strength steel housing.
The Battle Ax is available for a wide variety of power units, including low- and high-flow skid steers, excavators, compact tractors and more. They are made in the U.S.A. and backed by an industry-leading, two-year warranty.

Perkins has developed a full range of engines from 0.5 to 18 liters and 7.5 to 597 kW (10.1-800 hp) with an integrated suite of advanced technologies that reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions while delivering significant improvements in power density, performance and operating efficiency. Engines on display include a compact 904J-E28T industrial open power unit, an efficient 1204J-E44TA and a powerful 1706J-E93TA, all of which can use low carbon-intensity fuels including biodiesel up to B20 and hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) to EN15940.
The company will also exhibit 48V and 300V battery configurations, which Perkins engineers are currently developing and field testing, that can be leveraged by OEMs in the construction, industrial, materials handling and agricultural industries. The lithium-ion batteries are a robust, modular design and feature factory-installed telematics to optimize performance and packaging in off-highway applications. They are also being designed for recycling and reuse at the end of life to incorporate sustainability across their entire life cycle.
Additionally, Perkins offers a powerful and growing portfolio of connectivity solutions that help OEMs promote the optimal, sustainable performance of diesel engines. Available as a standalone service from Perkins or easily integrated with OEM fleet management offerings, connected engine capabilities deliver timely insights through a customizable dashboard of performance, fuel and oil consumption, and other vital engine data points that can maximize the uptime of Perkins-powered machines and fleets.
