The exhibition was staged at Barkarby Airfield in Stockholm and included a huge demo site for working presentations of heavy plant machinery.

Scanlaser is one of Samzelius’s key clients and he has designed all their exhibition stands for some time. He has also used MILOS products for the last 5 years – ever since he became aware of the range of trussing products and services, and their ability to deliver very quickly and efficiently.

The Scanlaser stand space at MaskinExpo measured 25 by 30 metres, with the MR2 system measuring 15 by 13 metres for the main tent and 12 by 13 metres for the black tent. It was purchased specially for the show by Samzelius and will eventually be owned by Scanlaser. He comments, “I’ve wanted to purchase an MR2 roof for several years, and this new Scanlaser stand project presented the perfect opportunity”.

The basic design concepts were for the stand to look elegant and aesthetically pleasing, to be weatherproof and to stand out from the myriad of ‘white tent’ stands that are so common at this type of expo.

The clean metal lines of the MR2 certainly looked the part and achieved the desired results.

The MILOS’ MR2 roof system is specifically designed to cover up to 120 square metres of stage/space and has become popular in the event and concert industry. It is also ideal for large exhibition stands such as this, but Samzelius is one of the first people to use an entire roof system in this way

The MR2 has a sloping roof that is integrated into a rectangular base, and MR1 tower legs that can lift it roof up to 9.3 metres in height. The frame and roof beams are made from tough M390L Quatro trussing components, and the sloping M290B trio beams are fixed in place with special CON attachments to the frame and roof.

Samzelius continues to use MILOS for their constantly evolving and dynamic range of products which is perfect for his stand design projects, as well as for the “Excellent service and support”. He is currently building many other projects using MILOS equipment, including in Trondheim and Haugesund in Norway, north Sweden and Helsinki, Finland.
