here were both smiles and sweat as ConExpo 2017 took
place in unseasonably warm Vegas last month. "I think there
is a noticeable difference with attendees and their level of
optimism," Mike Haberman said during the show. Haberman is
president of excavator manufacturer Gradall and current chairman
of show-owner Association of Equipment Manufacturers.
"The traffic is excellent, and more important, we're talking to
the right people."
To do the announcements and product introductions
justice, this will be the first of two ConExpo reports in
Equipment World. Part 2 arrives in our
May issue. Also in May, Tom Jackson will
detail the engine announcements made
at the show. All the stories below first
appeared on equipmentworld.com, where
they were reported in more detail.
