ICUEE set to be 'largest ever'

A new ‘ride and drive’ program at this year's ICUEE show in Louisville will give equipment buyers the opportunity to try out on–road commercial vehicles for the first time. The expo is being held October 16–18.

ICUEE said the program would give visitors a better opportunity to evaluate and purchase trucks, engines and components. The show, which is targeted at power, phone, gas, sewer and general contractors, already includes demo areas for shallow and deep digging equipment.

Aerial platform manufacturers will again be out in force at the show, with companies including Terex Utilities, Altec Industries and Time Manufacturing among those exhibiting.

This year's ICUEE is on target to be the largest ever, said organizer AEM, with more than 1.1 million net square feet of exhibits. Attendees can register in advance online (www.icuee.com).
