• Guided tour - Cranes: The Crane & Assembly Committees of the German Heavy Transport and Crane Work Association (BSK) e.V. got to know the latest crane and transport solutions.
• Guided tour - Gardening and landscaping: Members of the Middle Upper Rhine region of the Association of Gardening, Landscaping and Sports Ground Construction Baden-Württemberg saw innovations that simplify their day-to-day work.
Due to the high number of German-speaking visitors, all tours were conducted in German.
Demo-Area
Location: Outdoor exhibition area
Various telescopic boom lifts, scissor lifts and mini cranes were on demonstration on the outdoor exhibition area under realistic building site conditions. During this live demonstration, visitors had the opportunity to experience the machines right in the field and compare their off-road capability, levelling of height differences or load capacity and compactness. There were 3 shows of 45 minutes each on the Friday of the fair and 2 shows of 45 minutes each on the Saturday of the fair.The demonstration area can also be used beyond the show times to offer customer demonstrations.
Electro-Park
Location: Hall 1
In the Electro-Park, which has been moved to the centre of Hall 1, visitors have found two main topics: A model construction site showing the façade construction of a warehouse and one dealing with the installation of solar panels on a detached house - both working completely emission-free, without a combustion engine and with low noise levels. Both shows featured three participants who have used a trailer crane, telescopic boom lift or tracked boom lift to bring part of the construction site to life. There were two 45-minute shows on the Friday and Saturday of the fair. During the shows, industry experts have answered moderator Raoul Helmer's questions in an interview.
PD-Networking-Night 2024 presents Wine.Dine.Dance

Location: Atrium + Events hall
in 2024, the PD Networking Night was all about “Wine. Dine. Dance.” with numerous entertainment options that left nothing to be desired. Germany's largest wine box, a mobile wine tasting with exquisite Palatinate wines and fine cuisine promised an evening full of Palatinate joie de vivre! The selection was as varied as the art of wine itself and offered every guest exactly what they wanted from the evening. In the indoor area with a focus on “Dine & Dance”, guests met in front of the stage in the action hall with cool drinks to dance the night away with the popular PD party band Soundaffair. The perfect balance to the lively party atmosphere was provided in the outdoor area of the atrium with a focus on “Wine”. Here, in a relaxed atmosphere and accompanied by a good glass of wine, people philosophized about old times or forged new alliances, and if that wasn't enough, there were plenty of machine highlights and surprises to discover on the grounds of the PD Networking Night to mark the 25th anniversary of the trade fair!
