Transport innovations on show at new T3 Expo

Manufacturers of transport equipment for the construction sector showcased innovations at the first T3 Expo held in Piacenza, Italy, in mid-October.

On show were trucks and trailers for the transport of heavy machinery, pick-up trucks and vans, as well as concrete mixer pump trucks, water and fuel trucks, and mobile workshops.

OVIP, a Daf dealer, introduced the new Daf XF 4-axle construction truck with pneumatic suspension, designed for improved handling and comfort, while La Meccanica SF demonstrated a tipper truck with an integrated HiCrane hydraulic crane.

New company Trailix, which buys and sells transport and trailer vehicles, showed custom low-bed trailers designed for transporting construction machinery. It also distributes the Turkish semi-trailer brand Seyit Usta.

Faymonville, meanwhile, partnered with dealer Tagliaferri Giuliano to present three models, including the Max 200-210 series low extendable flatbed tow trailer, which can extend up to 21 metres.

In ground protection solutions, LK2, a distributor for Isokon, introduced the H and X series of Isotrack temporary ground protection mats. Designed to ensure safe access for heavy vehicles to jobsites, the mats will withstand compressive loads exceeding 605 pounds per square inch.

The show was organised by Mediapoint & Exhibitions, known for its GIS exhibition in Italy for cranes and aerial platforms.

“As we close this first edition, the enthusiasm and participation we’ve seen from key players reaffirm our belief that there’s a strong appetite for an event dedicated to commercial vehicles and tailored solutions for their upfitting needs,” said Fabio Potestà, Mediapoint director.

“Our ambition is for T3 Expo to become an unmissable biennial event, attracting international participants who – recognising Italy’s strategic role in European manufacturing – aim to deepen their business ties with suppliers to the road transport sectors.”

The next T3 is scheduled for 22-24 October 2026, again at the Piacenza Expo.
