Decarbonisation at the heart of INTERMAT 2024

INTERMAT

INTERMAT 2024 aims to offer a showcase of the excellence of the construction industry and the innovation dynamic of French and foreign equipment manufacturers in the race to net zero. Among the highlights of the 2024 show, the events taking place on the INTERMAT Demo zone, focussing on the themes of low carbon and safety, will be kicking off every 10 minutes throughout the four days of the exhibition.

The art of showcasing the innovation of construction equipment and machinery

INTERMAT DEMO, one of the key attractions of the show with a unique outdoor space given over to demonstrations, will offer exhibitors a chance to show off their equipment and machinery in real-life operating conditions. In 2024, the Demo Zone will thus be the crossroads for the most innovative and effective equipment in the construction sector.

Taking place on a shared space, it will host innovative and latest generation equipment, notably fitted with hybrid or electric engines, and will offer a chance to test new powertrains and take a deep dive into the construction site of the future.

Every day, the spectacle of machines in operation with nearly 200 demonstrations

Through a programme of nearly 200 demonstrations of worksite machinery, construction professionals will be able to admire the know-how of manufacturers and the latest developments in low-carbon and digitalised equipment and machines in the quest for better safety, higher productivity and energy efficiency.

The Demo Zone, which has been revisited this year to offer more conviviality will also have a food and drink area with a varied selection of food trucks to enable attendees to prolong their discussions around lunch or a drink.

INTERMAT Demo zones

INTERMAT Demo will be divided into two zones: a gravel zone and a sand zone to offer simulations on two construction site materials. Each zone will see a demonstration take place every ten minutes from 9.30 am to 5.30 pm.

Demo Zone INTERMAT 1 – Gravel

  • RIVARD: Manoeuvring and positioning of 32T equipment by radio control, gravel suction by articulated arm, gravel tipping.
  • THEAM: Demonstration of the Sprider, a tool for placing asphalt (e.g. for trenches, pavements, etc.)
  • GILBERT: Handling the MG-90 and/or MG-60 machine with an excavator, picking up sheet piles from the ground and standing them up, demonstrating the machine’s 360° rotation. Demonstrate the function of the vibratory hammer for piling without digging into the ground.
  • MERLO: Presentation of the EW25.5-90 electric machine in two different applications, focusing in particular on battery interchangeability, telematics solutions and the advantages in terms of running costs of an electric model compared with a combustion model.
  • GD PFC Construction: Demonstration of the platform on amplirole, with a focus on loading for storage and transport of shoring to make trench work safer.

Demo Zone INTERMAT 2 – Sand

  • EUROMAIR: Europe Projection. Start-up of the x-screed D60 dry screed machine with application of the sand product on the floor. Other machine to see during the demo: MIXPRO 28 – 3 kW Ragréage & PROJECT CP 35 + malaxeur PREMIUM
  • KINSHOFFER: Demonstrations of the manoeuvrability and flexibility of the NOX range of tiltrotators.
  • KÄSSBOHRER: Demonstration of the new PowerBully 12D, a tracked dumper for the construction sector, with a focus on the PowerBully’s driving characteristics.
  • ROTOTILT: Demonstration of tool changing and levelling with the Volvo EW150.
  • iDIG: Demonstrating the precision and ease of use of the iDig system. Use GPS to mark out a site and dig the area with a shovel.
