MINExpo International

Geared toward mass earthwork, mining, and bulk excavation contractors. This is where contractors inspect ultra-class hydraulic shovels, massive wheel loaders, 100-plus ton haulers, and mine-grade fleet dispatch software capable of tracking millions of cubic yards of cut-and-fill.

Why fleet owners attend

MINExpo is the show for the biggest machines in earthmoving. Even if your fleet is smaller, the technology shown here — autonomy, health monitoring, payload management — tends to move down into heavy civil and aggregate fleets.

What to look at

• Large hydraulic shovels, wheel loaders and haul trucks
• Payload, tire and component-health monitoring systems
• Autonomy and operator-assist for haul cycles
• Maintenance and component-life strategies for high-hour machines

Make the trip pay off

Shows are expensive in time away from the jobsite. A little preparation turns a walk around the floor into decisions you can act on:

• Bring your fleet list. Know the age, hours and service history of the machines you might replace, so you can compare real numbers instead of brochure numbers.
• Ask about data access. For any new machine, ask how its hours, fuel, idle time and fault codes reach you — and whether that works in a mixed fleet.
• Look at maintenance, not just performance. Check service intervals, filter access and the daily walk-around. They drive your real cost of ownership.
• Talk to your dealer. Parts availability and service response matter as much as the machine itself.

goAardvark brings hours, maintenance, inspections and location for every brand in your fleet into one view — useful context before and after any equipment show. Use our maintenance schedules, utilization definitions and dealer locator to prepare.
