New Miller Powerlatch Tilt Coupler goes down a storm at Plantworx

The new Miller PowerLatch Tilt coupler made a big impression on the thousands of visitors who braved the summer storms to attend the 2017 Plantworx Show.

The biannual construction machinery show took place at Bruntingthorpe proving grounds, Leicestershire and for earthmoving attachments manufacturer Miller UK, this year’s show was the biggest and best yet. The show opened and closed to torrential rain, with only a single day of glorious sunshine in between, but despite the summer storms and the abundance of mud, those who braved the weather managed to make it the biggest Plantworx ever.

The Miller stands welcomed hundreds of visitors who were all keen to find out more about the new innovative PowerLatch Tilt which allows attachments, whether that’s a bucket, breaker or grapple, to be rotated up to 180 degrees, giving operators much greater versatility on site than ever before

Over at the Miller demonstration stand, a brand new Kubota KX080-4 was fitted with the new PowerLatch Tilt coupler and over the three days were put through their paces by vastly experience driver Jeff Morris. Commenting on the new tilt, Jeff Morris owner of Morris Plant Hire said “The tilt is a solid piece of kit, it grips the attachment pins tightly, with no sliding about when you tilt to full rotation, which is a full 90 degrees both ways. The added versatility and functionality of the tilt really does offer greater accessibility, ideal for civil and ground works.”

During the show, a near constant stream of interested visitors received a glimpse of the latest attachments from Miller UK. Industry leading PowerLatch couplers and Scoop buckets were the subject of specific requests from a number of key customers, with some significant deals made at the show. In addition, visitors to the Miller stand gained a unique insight into an exciting product pipeline currently under development that is set to make an impact in the earthmoving sector.

Plantworx marks the end of a busy and successful run of international exhibitions for Miller, who has used the 2017 expo season to launch its new PowerLatch Tilt and continue to build important relationships with new and existing customers at home and across the globe.

Brendan Quill, Sales and Marketing Director at Miller, said: “Despite the challenging weather conditions Plantworx 2017 turned out to be extremely encouraging for Miller, with a number of major deals being agreed on our stand and sales enquiries at an exceptionally high level compared to previous shows. Plantworx provides us with the perfect opportunity to connect with new and existing customers and demonstrate live the tangible benefits of our latest product innovations.”
