How to Get Involved

The sand quarry setting is, on its own quite spectacular. The final will take place deep in the heart of the site, a place normally out of bounds for visitors.

You can watch the operators put through their paces in several tasks designed to test their skill and dexterity on a range of excavators performing measured exercises such as:

  • A time challenge Loading an ADT
  • A Skill Touch challenge
  • A Technical Test demonstrating machine control systems.
  • An Attachment challenge that shows the flexibility of the machine and ability of the operator

The site will be made safe for the day, so visitors are safe and able to enjoy the spectacle of the setting and the competitive nature of the live final.

It promises to be a great day out so why not bring the family along, the kids will love it.
