Powerscreen
Powerscreen will mark its first major event in the brand's 60th anniversary year at ConExpo-Con/AGG 2026.
As North America's largest construction trade show, ConExpo provides a fitting stage for a brand whose history of innovation have helped shape the modern materials processing industry, according to the company. On display will be two Powerscreen machines making their show debut; the 1300X Maxtrak and Trakpactor 480SR.
The 1300X Maxtrak represents the next step in the brand's cone crushing line, advancing the legacy of its predecessors with a focus on cubicity, throughput and consistent performance for secondary and tertiary applications. Alongside it, the Trakpactor 480SR, particularly designed to meet the needs of the United States market, returns in an enhanced configuration, now available with an independent pre-screen and underpan feeder that build on the impactor's strong reception since its initial launch in 2023. Both machines reflect Powerscreen's long-standing commitment to delivering reliability, versatility and operator- focused engineering, according to the company.
The year 2026 marks six decades since the founding of Ulster Plant Ltd in County Tyrone, Northern Ireland, the small but visionary operation that would grow into today's Powerscreen. From those early days, the brand established a reputation for pioneering the concept of mobile screening and bringing equipment directly to the quarry face. This became a global shift in how operators work, and that same mindset continues to guide Powerscreen's product development, engineering and customer relationships today.
"Celebrating 60 years is not simply a milestone, it is a tribute to our people who have shaped Powerscreen since day one," said Sean Loughran, business line director of Powerscreen. "ConExpo-Con/AGG is the ideal place to begin this anniversary year, because it brings together our customers and distributors who have been integral to our journey. As we enter our seventh decade, innovations such as the 1300X Maxtrak and the Trakpactor 480SR demonstrate our ongoing commitment to setting the standard for performance, safety and reliability."
