The 2025 Equip Expo once again drew thousands of industry professionals to the Kentucky Exposition Center in Louisville for one of the largest trade shows in the outdoor power, landscaping and light construction markets.

More than 1,000 exhibitors showcased the latest machines, technology and attachments across expansive indoor and outdoor spaces. The event remains a must-attend gathering for contractors, dealers and manufacturers eager to connect directly and experience products in action.

The 30-acre outdoor demonstration area gave attendees the chance to operate compact loaders, trenchers, mowers and utility vehicles in real-world conditions. Manufacturers emphasized efficiency, comfort and performance across their latest models.
