Technology is transforming how managed landscapes are cared for. Equip Exposition, held October 15-18 at the Kentucky Exposition Center, is where the newest outdoor power equipment and innovative tools for landscape professionals can be explored and tested.
“Robotic mowers, battery/electric outdoor power equipment, the latest utility type vehicles (UTVs), all-terrain vehicles (ATVs), drones, and more will be available to take for a test drive to see if it works for you,” said Kris Kiser, president and CEO of the Outdoor Power Equipment Institute (OPEI) which owns the show.
In the 30-acre Outdoor Demo Yard, attendees can “get their hands dirty” by mowing, mulching, cutting, chopping, digging, driving and more with the latest equipment. Attendees can also visit the UTV test track to get behind the wheel and try out the latest four-wheel workhorses.
Inside, attendees also can meet and talk with equipment manufacturers designing and producing outdoor power equipment, drones, software, and inter-connected technology products. Attendees can fly a drone in the Drone Zone in the West Wing and work toward drone pilot certification while at the show.
The session “Battery Transitions: Incentives, Regulations, and Innovations,” on Thursday, Oct. 17, will showcase perspectives from landscapers, manufacturers, and regulators on the latest in technology developments and how they are adapting to advances in the field.
