Steelwrist appoints Peter Gaj as regional VP amid North American growth

Meet Steelwrist at CONEXPO-CON/AGG

Steelwrist will showcase its strong North American momentum at CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2026 in Las Vegas, March 3-7. The Steelwrist booth, located at the heart of the Festival Grounds, the booth will feature the company’s largest and most interactive presence at the show to date, highlighting both product innovations and live demonstrations.

Visitors will be able to experience Steelwrist’s latest developments, including the third-generation XTR tiltrotators and the fully automatic SQ quick coupler technology. A key highlight will be the interactive demonstration show, where multiple excavators equipped with Steelwrist solutions will perform real-world job scenarios. During the live demo shows, operators will demonstrate how excavator efficiency can be significantly increased by combining tiltrotators with fully automatic quick couplers and a shared set of work tools.

There will be two compact excavators with the new automatic quick coupler solution, SQ40, on the X07 tiltrotator. This will be the first time that the SQ40 automatic coupler solution, which was first presented at Bauma in Munich 2025, is shown in North America. SQ40 allows for quick changes of high flow-powered work tools also on smaller excavators, providing the same efficiency as larger SQ couplers. This makes changing powered work tools easier and safer, as it can be done without leaving the cab.

There will also be a 14-ton short swing excavator with a third-generation tiltrotator, XTR15, with the Open-S compliant SQ60 automatic coupler. The XTR15 is one of five models of the new third-generation tiltrotators from Steelwrist, all of which will be on display during the show.

Finally, the show will feature an electric-powered compact excavator equipped with the smallest XTR2 tiltrotator, demonstrating that Steelwrist solutions are also available for the smallest machines on the job site.

In addition to live demonstrations, the Steelwrist team from across the Americas will be present to meet customers, dealers and OEM partners, and to discuss how Steelwrist solutions can help contractors transform their excavators into true tool carriers.

“CONEXPO is the largest exhibition in North America, an important meeting place for the industry and a great opportunity to demonstrate how our Steelwrist products add value on the job site. We look forward to meeting visitors in Las Vegas and showing how Steelwrist continues to drive efficiency for excavators”, says Karl Serneberg, VP OEM Sales & Marketing.
