Ardboe, Northern Ireland, 20 May 2026 — Anaconda Equipment is excited to announce its return to Hillhead 2026, the largest quarrying, construction and recycling exhibition in the U.K. The show is set to take place from 23-25 June at Hillhead Quarry, Buxton.
Anaconda will once again join leading manufacturers from around the world to showcase the latest advancements in mobile crushing, screening and material handling solutions in Stand J4.
“For those who remember, Hillhead is traditionally held every two years, although the 2009 event was cancelled following the impact of the global credit crunch, which saw the quarrying sector contract by an estimated 30–40%. As the market began to recover, the show returned in 2010 — marking our very first opportunity to exhibit the brand in its home country,” said Alistair Forsyth, Group President and Managing Director of Anaconda Equipment.
“Fast forward nine Hillhead exhibitions later, and the excitement remains just as strong as it was back in 2010. While a lot has changed over the years — more equipment, a larger team and certainly a few more grey hairs on the stand — one thing has remained constant: our passion for showcasing the brand and connecting with customers from around the world,” stated Forsyth.
Attendees will have the opportunity to see the power of the Anaconda J12 Jaw Crusher during the working demonstrations, joined by the DF514 Scalping Screen for a full look at an Anaconda processing lineup. Live demonstrations will take place directly behind Stand J4 in the Rock Processing Demo Area.
The J12 Tracked Jaw Crusher delivers high-capacity primary crushing with a robust Universal Crusher jaw chamber and a powerful, fuel-efficient hydraulic system. Smooth material flow and ease of mobility make the J12 suitable for demanding quarry and recycling applications.
Handling bulky, abrasive material with ease, the DF514 Scalping Screen offers exceptional versatility and consistent throughput with a 4.27 m x 1.52 m (14’ x 5’) screen box. Its rapid setup time and ability to manage oversize material make the DF514 a reliable choice for operators who need better flexibility without sacrificing performance.
In addition to the J12 Jaw Crusher and the DF514 Scalping Screen in the demo area, Anaconda will feature an I12R Impact Crusher on display in Stand J4. The I12R is a powerful, mobile solution for contractors and quarry operators looking to produce high-quality end products with efficiency and ease of transport in mind. The I12R features a recirculating conveyor to help producers ensure maximum production.
The Anaconda team will be available throughout the show for guided walkaround tours and in-depth discussions on machine performance, maintenance, mobility and key features.
