Registration Opens For ScotPlant 2026

Visitor registration has officially opened for ScotPlant 2026, the largest trade event for the Scottish construction plant industry.

The exhibition is scheduled to take place at the Royal Highland Centre in Ingliston, Edinburgh, on Friday, 24th April and Saturday, 25th April 2026.

The event, which is free to attend, remains a critical fixture for the sector. Following the success of the 2024 show—which attracted over 6,600 unique visitors and hosted 210 exhibitors—demand for the 2026 edition has been exceptionally high. Organisers have confirmed that 95% of the outdoor exhibition space is already booked.

Attendees will have the opportunity to view the latest machinery and technological advancements from a wide range of global manufacturers and local Scottish dealerships. Major brands confirmed to participate include JCB, Hitachi, Kubota, Liebherr, Komatsu, SANY, and Develon, among many others.

ScotPlant is organised by Peebles Media Group, the firm behind Project Plant and Project Scotland magazines. Gary Moug, Editor of both publications, highlighted the event's longevity and significance to the trade.

"ScotPlant has been a focal point for the Scottish plant sector for three decades and continues to go from strength-to-strength," said Mr Moug. "The exhibition is a must-attend event for anyone looking to check out the latest standout products and innovations, and discuss their equipment needs. The show also offers a unique networking opportunity due to the incredible number of senior industry stakeholders in attendance."

He added: "Our last event in 2024 was a phenomenal success and we anticipate ScotPlant 2026 will raise the bar even higher."

Industry professionals and interested members of the public can now secure their complimentary entry badges via the official ScotPlant website
