Every two years, Hillhead Quarry in Buxton, England turns into the world's biggest live demonstration ground for quarrying, construction and recycling equipment. Hillhead 2026 ran June 23 to 25, and Terex's materials-processing group used it to show 18 machines across seven brands — Powerscreen, Terex Finlay, EvoQuip, Terex Washing Systems, MAGNA, Terex MPS and MDS — including six models introduced since the last show in 2024, as reported by Heavy Equipment Guide. None of it ships to Quebec overnight, but new mobile crushing and screening launches in the UK are a leading indicator for what shows up in dealer inventory — and eventually the used market — here over the next couple of years.
At a glance
- Powerscreen marked 60 years with a refurbished original MK1 screen, the Chieftain 2200 triple-deck inclined screen, and a 1000X Maxtrak cone-crusher prototype.
- MAGNA — Terex's large-scale crushing brand launched in 2024 — made its Hillhead debut with the MT400C cone crusher and MT6S scalping screen.
- Terex Finlay launched the I-130 and I-130RS impact crushers and ran a live crush-and-screen demonstration train.
- Terex Washing Systems debuted the AggreScrub P80 logwasher and the FM60C sand-recovery unit.
- EvoQuip marked ten years since its 2016 Hillhead debut, spotlighting the new INNEX digital platform and TRAC sensor technology.
Powerscreen turns 60
Powerscreen used its 60th year to look both backward and forward. The brand exhibited from an expanded stand and put a freshly refurbished MK1 — the original machine that launched mobile screening in 1966 — front and centre, according to Heavy Equipment Guide's and Construction Briefing's Hillhead coverage. Alongside the heritage piece, Powerscreen ran the Chieftain 2200 triple-deck inclined screen, the largest inclined screen in its current range: rated up to roughly 700 tonnes per hour, built around two three-deck screenboxes with a patented configurable drive, and weighing about 39.4 tonnes for transport, per Powerscreen's own published specification. A prototype of the next-generation 1000X Maxtrak cone crusher was also on the stand as an early look at where the cone range is headed.
MAGNA's first Hillhead, at large-crusher scale
MAGNA — the large-scale crushing and screening brand Terex launched in 2024 — made its first Hillhead appearance with two machines aimed squarely at high-volume producers, as covered by HeavyQuip Magazine. The MT400C cone crusher pairs an 8 m³ hopper and feeder with automated metal detection and a purge chute, hydraulic closed-side-setting adjustment with electronic monitoring, a wet-clutch direct drive, and telemetry as standard. The MT6S scalping screen runs a two-deck box — a 6.1 m x 1.8 m top deck over a 5.5 m x 1.8 m bottom deck — rated up to 800 tonnes per hour, with the screen angle adjustable between 14 and 18 degrees. MAGNA has no track record yet in the used market since it's a brand-new 2024 line, but its arrival signals Terex is willing to compete at the high-capacity end that quarries and large civil contractors also serve with static and semi-mobile plant.
Finlay's new impact crushers, and a live demo train
Terex Finlay added two mid-range impact crushers to its line, the I-130 and I-130RS, built around a 1065 mm x 1245 mm four-bar rotor with twin hydraulic aprons and a direct-drive soft-start system, as reported by Construction Equipment Guide and Agg-Net. The RS version adds a two-deck afterscreen and a slewing recirculation conveyor for closed-circuit work, and that RS section can be unbolted entirely to cut transport weight when screening isn't needed — useful for contractors who run the same chassis on different jobs. An optional windsifter strips light contaminants like wood and plastic for construction-and-demolition recycling work. On the demonstration circuit, Finlay ran a full processing train — a J-1170+ tracked jaw crusher feeding a C-1540+ prototype cone crusher and a 694 inclined screen, loaded by a Kobelco SK300LC-11E excavator — giving visitors a look at a complete crush-and-screen circuit rather than a single machine, per Heavy Equipment Guide's show coverage.
Washing gets a new modular unit, and EvoQuip marks ten years
Terex Washing Systems debuted the AggreScrub P80 Logwasher with PreScreen, a modular, single-chassis unit that combines pre-screening, twin-shaft PowerScrub scrubbing, post-screening and contaminant removal in one pass, producing up to three clean washed products — aimed at construction-and-demolition waste and dirty excavation material, according to Recycling Product News. It shared the stand with the FM60C, a hydrocyclone-based sand-recovery unit. Separately, EvoQuip — Terex's compact crushing-and-screening brand — marked ten years since it debuted at Hillhead 2016 with the Bison 120 jaw crusher, per coverage from Project Plant and Supply Post; the brand now covers jaw and impact crushers, scalping screens, mobile conveyors and shredders sized for smaller quarries, landscapers and recyclers rather than high-volume producers.
Digital tools, and where electrification actually stands
The recurring theme across every stand was digital, not electric. Terex MP pushed INNEX, a new AI-enabled platform that folds telematics, the Ask Terex support tool, dealer inventory and e-commerce into one dashboard, while EvoQuip highlighted TRAC, a multi-sensor system aimed at screening-equipment performance and durability — both featured prominently in Hillhead coverage from Heavy Equipment Guide and HeavyQuip Magazine. Electrification itself wasn't a Hillhead 2026 headline: the flexible-power options live in Terex Finlay's existing Dual Power lineup (models like the J-1175 jaw crusher and C-1540 cone crusher, which can run off mains power or an onboard genset instead of diesel-hydraulics, per Terex Finlay's own product pages), rather than in anything newly launched at this show.
What it means for Quebec buyers and sellers
None of this equipment lands in Quebec quarries this month, but the cycle is predictable: new UK and European launches move through dealer fleets first, and the models they displace — older Powerscreen Maxtrak and Chieftain screens, Finlay jaw and impact plants, EvoQuip compacts — are exactly the machines that eventually show up for sale second-hand, including here. A few practical takeaways for anyone buying or selling crushing-screening gear on Machines & Bids: expect more telemetry-equipped units on the used market as INNEX- and TRAC-style monitoring become standard, which means service history and sensor data are increasingly something a seller can document and a buyer can ask for. Expect EvoQuip's compact range — now a decade mature — to have a deeper, better-understood used market than the brand-new MAGNA line, which has no resale history yet. And if you operate a smaller pit or a construction-and-demolition recycling site, RS-style modular add-ons (afterscreens, windsifters) on machines like the I-130RS are worth checking for on used listings, since they add capability without needing a second machine on site.
