Scrap Expo offers hands-on opportunities

The Recycling Today Media Group says scrap recyclers, demolition contractors and auto dismantlers who attend Scrap Expo next month will have the chance to operate some of the equipment on display.

At the event, taking place at the Kentucky Exposition Center in Louisville, Kentucky, Sept. 13-14, attendees shopping for equipment will, in some cases, be able to try out machinery before buying it.

Unprocessed scrap metal is being brought onto the site so prospective buyers of material handlers, loaders, shears, loggers and end-of-life vehicle depollution equipment can see and feel exactly how the equipment operates.

The live demo area at Scrap Expo will feature many makes and models of scrap machinery that can be tested out by potential buyers, according to Recycling Today.

The list of exhibiting companies, which stands at 37 as of early August, can be found on this web page.

The two-day event also features equipment maintenance and scrap commodity informational sessions, and live recordings of industry podcasts. The schedule for those activities can be found on this web page.
