Earthmoving attachments manufacturer announces return to Hillhead 2026
A global leader in excavator attachment manufacturing has announced its return to Hillhead 2026, for what is expected to be the show’s largest edition to date.
Headquartered in the North East of England – with manufacturing facilities around the world - Miller UK is a long-standing exhibitor at the UK’s largest construction, quarrying, and recycling exhibition, and has confirmed its plans to return for 2026.
Hillhead is expected to bring together over 600 exhibitors and 20,000 visitors over its three-day duration. Miller will be located on stand W28, directly opposite the quarry-face demo area, which proves one of the show’s busiest areas every year.
This year, Miller will place major focus on its industry-first five-year extended warranty scheme. With all parts and labour costs covered, the warranty is ideal for dealers looking to give its customers complete peace of mind, aiming to deliver a fit and forget solution for long-term performance and reliability of their equipment.
With a long-established reputation across the quarrying and mining sectors, Miller will be showcasing products from its full portfolio at Hillhead, including its heavy-duty range engineered to deliver reliability and performance in the most demanding environments. The stand will feature an extreme rock bucket, designed specifically for harsh quarry applications where durability is essential. Also on display will be the GT Series quick coupler range, designed to support faster, safer and more efficient attachment changes. The versatility of Miller’s GTT 180° tilt coupler will be demonstrated live on stand.
Miller will dedicate an area on stand to an ‘Innovation Hub, where visitors can get an exclusive preview of Miller’s latest innovations set to launch in the coming months.
Miller will also showcase a specially branded digging bucket in aid of the Lighthouse Charity’s 70th anniversary. The bucket will be auctioned to the highest bidder, with all profits donated directly to supporting Lighthouse Charity initiatives. The manufacturer has also confirmed the return of its popular Miller x Lighthouse mini model buckets – featuring a new design - which will be available to purchase directly on the stand. Visitors can also take part in a ‘Guess how Many Footballs’ challenge.
Speaking about the upcoming show, Jonathon Cox, UK and European Sales Manager at Miller, said: “We’re really looking forward to returning to Hillhead. The show continues to grow year after year, and I’m confident that this time will be no exception. The show provides an ideal platform for us to showcase our latest innovations and reconnect with industry contacts, as well as build new relationships.
“Our stand is set to be a real highlight this year. We’ll be giving visitors a preview of some exciting new products ahead of the official launch shown alongside our existing product range - which will also be featured on customers’ stands across the exhibition - reinforcing our position as a trusted partner to OEMs, dealers and end users around the world.”
