Maritimes’ Largest Heavy Equipment Show Announces Move To 2022

AHES in 2018

In conjunction with the Atlantic Land Improvement Contractors Association (ALICA), the producers of the Atlantic Heavy Equipment Show have announced its postponement to 2022. This leading trade event will now take place April 13-14, 2022 at the Moncton Coliseum Complex.
As the largest industry event east of Montreal, the Atlantic Heavy Equipment Show regularly attracts nearly 15,000 exhibitors and attendees from throughout Canada and the United States. The ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic have forced its rescheduling several times; it was initially set for April 2020 and then deferred to 2021. The move to 2022 returns the show to its regular biennial cycle.
“We were hopeful that by the spring of 2021 we’d see some loosening of quarantine requirements and that some provincial borders would reopen,” said Mark Cusack, National Show Manager. “Unfortunately, the situation remains quite fluid and we’re still seeing many companies with bans on corporate travel and in-person events. We can’t wait to bring everyone together when it’s safe to do so, but for now we are prioritizing the health and safety of everyone involved with Atlantic Heavy and positioning it for a safe and successful return next April.”
Given that many companies rely on trade shows like the Atlantic Heavy Equipment Show as part of their annual marketing activities, the show management team is introducing a new, Canada-wide digital product: the Canadian Heavy Equipment Showcase. This digital marketing platform is designed to help bridge the gap between the postponed show and the next face-to-face event. It will allow companies to promote their products and services to industry personnel and qualified buyers who would have attended the show in-person. Users will be able to search by company name or filter by category, and can easily connect by clicking email, website, and social media buttons.
Master Promotions Ltd. would like to thank the show’s exhibitors, attendees, sponsors, and partners, along with the entire heavy equipment community for unwavering support during these challenging times. The company continues to believe in the strength of face-to-face business and the networking opportunities that trade shows provide and looks forward to the time when events can once again be hosted safely.

Kenworth Names 2021 Parts Council

Fleets can reduce their parts inventory by as much as 60 percent using fleet maintenance software programs such as Kenworth PremierCare(R) Connect and Peterbilt TruckCare(R) Connect. Such programs can also give them access to comparative parts costs, the ability to track mechanics labor activities, and a tracking tool to increase parts warranty recovery.

Kenworth Truck Company has named its 2021 Kenworth Parts Council. Leading parts directors and managers from Kenworth dealerships in the United States and Canada serve on the council, which focuses on further enhancing parts quality and customer support for truck operators and fleets.
PACCAR Parts supports Kenworth dealerships in their efforts to expedite repairs and increase customer uptime by helping to maintain industry-leading parts availability throughout the Kenworth dealer network, and by providing access to parts in 24 hours or less through its network of distribution centers strategically located throughout North America.
Kenworth Parts Council members for 2021 are: Chairman – Eric Bontrager, CSM Companies (Windsor, Wis.); Ryan Colby, Kenworth Sales Company – Salt Lake City (West Valley City, Utah); Patrick Lisconish, Kenworth Northeast Group (Syracuse, N.Y.); Scott Lockhart, MHC Kenworth (Denver, Colo.); Troy Powers, Rihm Kenworth (South St. Paul, Minn.); Eddy Ward, Bayview Kenworth (Bathurst, N.B.); Jeff Weaver, Truckworx Kenworth (Birmingham, Ala.); Clayton Zuchotzki, GreatWest Kenworth (Calgary, Alb.); and Kenworth Dealer Council representative Scott Nichols, Kenworth of Indianapolis (Indianapolis, Ind.).

National Heavy Equipment Show Confirms Dates For 2022

NHES in 2019

The producers of the National Heavy Equipment Show are announcing revised dates for the next edition of the event. Traditionally held in the Spring of odd years originally slated for 2021, show management has made the decision to hold the National Heavy Equipment Show on March 31 – April 1, 2022 at the International Centre.
“While we looked at options to sustain the future of the event, it became clear that spring 2022 was our best option for this edition,” said Mark Cusack, Show Manager. “This is a timeframe which has historically worked best for exhibitors and attendees. Our main priority is positioning the event for a safe and successful return, and this decision reflects that.”
Given the size and nature of the show and the travel that comes along with it, the COVID-19 pandemic has forced the postponement of the event due to the ongoing quarantine requirements, border closures, and the fact that many companies still have bans on corporate travel and in-person events have led to this date change.
Master Promotions Ltd. would like to thank the National Heavy Equipment Show community for unwavering support from exhibitors, visitors, sponsors, and partners. We look forward to hosting an in-person event again when it is safe to do so. We continue to believe in the strength of face-to-face business and networking opportunities that shows provide and unfortunately cannot offer that for the spring of 2021.
In an effort to bridge the gap between the postponed show and the next Live event, our company is excited to introduce a new product: the Canadian Heavy Equipment Showcase Digital Marketing Platform. This brand-new feature on our website is designed to safely bridge the gap, while our face-to-face events are on pause, by allowing you to promote your brand/product during this unprecedented time. The Digital Marketing Platform will be promoted to our extensive email database of 40,000 past show attendees, along with an integrated social media campaign, with support from all the leading magazines and industry associations.
