Powerscreen marks 60th anniversary with CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2026 machine debuts

Powerscreen will begin celebrations for its 60th anniversary year at CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2026, where the brand will exhibit on the Terex booth in the Silver Lot (SV2357) from 3–7 March.

The show will see the global crushing and screening specialist unveil two machines making their CONEXPO debut: the 1300X Maxtrak cone crusher and the Trakpactor 480SR impact crusher. Both units underline Powerscreen’s focus on reliability, versatility and operator-led design as it enters its seventh decade.

The 1300X Maxtrak represents the latest evolution of the company’s cone crushing range, building on a proven platform with an emphasis on improved cubicity, higher throughput and consistent performance in secondary and tertiary applications.

Alongside it, the Trakpactor 480SR returns to the spotlight in an enhanced configuration developed specifically for the North American market. First launched in 2023, the impactor is now available with an independent pre-screen and underpan feeder, expanding its capability and flexibility across recycling, quarrying and contracting applications.

The milestone year marks 60 years since the founding of Ulster Plant Ltd in County Tyrone, Northern Ireland, the business that would later become Powerscreen. From its earliest days, the company helped pioneer mobile screening technology, fundamentally changing how material is processed by bringing equipment directly to the quarry face.

That innovation-led approach continues to shape Powerscreen’s product development and customer focus today, supported by a global dealer network widely regarded as one of the strongest in the industry. The network provides local access to parts, service and technical expertise, helping customers maintain productivity across diverse markets worldwide.

Sean Loughran, Business Line Director for Powerscreen, said CONEXPO-CON/AGG provides the ideal platform to begin the anniversary celebrations.

“Celebrating 60 years is not simply a milestone; it’s a tribute to the people who have shaped Powerscreen since day one,” said Sean Loughran. “CONEXPO brings together the customers and distributors who have been central to our journey. As we enter our seventh decade, innovations such as the 1300X Maxtrak and Trakpactor 480SR demonstrate our ongoing commitment to setting standards in performance, safety and reliability.”

Powerscreen confirmed that its anniversary year will continue with celebrations, product showcases and customer-focused activities around the world throughout 2026.
