Diesel and electric

Staad has grown tremendously in recent years, and the event is growing along with it. Since the last Grondverzetdagen in 2024, we have grown to over 170 colleagues. From our locations in Veghel, Brabant (now three locations), Oss, and our production facility in Harlingen, Friesland, we work with great energy on our development every day. We do this with an enthusiastic team of professionals full of passion, craftsmanship, and proud people you can get to know personally during these days.

The event takes place at two locations. At our R&D site at Doornhoek 4041, the future takes center stage: here, we focus on zero-emission electric machines and the associated charging infrastructure. Among other things, you will find our Powerbox battery packs there, which we assemble in Oss. We also proudly present our own #paradestaadjes: the self-developed and built electric excavators, the STAAD 17W mobile excavator and the STAAD 23LCR crawler excavator. These machines are currently being assembled in Veghel and will be produced in Harlingen in the future.

At our main location at Doornhoek 3945, our trusted home base, everything revolves around diesel and electric conversion machines. Here you can take a look inside the workshop and discover many more surprises.

MEGA sandboxes

The Earthmoving Days at Staad are known for earthmoving machines in movement, actually moving soil, and the opportunity to ask employees anything you want. During these days, there are excavator demonstrations, including the STAAD 23LCR. Additionally, Big sandboxes are set up at both locations, where you can test-run various earthmoving machines yourself (please note: ages 16 and up). You can also test-run the newest STAAD 17W. So, soil will certainly be moved these days!

Charging infrastructure square

The Earthmoving Days are the perfect opportunity to meet our professionals and discover everything about our products and services in the field of charging infrastructure for zero-emission projects. Our experts would be happy to tell you more about the possibilities for an optimal, green energy supply with you.

Fun fact: the bar and various other facilities at the event run entirely on our Powerboxes.

Partners and Staad merchandise stands

The Grondverzetdagen are more than just machines. You will also meet the partners with whom Staad collaborates intensively on the mounting and installation of machines and other innovative solutions. These partners would be happy to tell you more about the collaboration and show you what they have to offer, each from their own stand.

Stroll past the various stands, get inspired, and discover surprising products and ideas. And be sure not to forget to stop by our own Staad merchandise stand, packed with original, new, and fun Staad 'I-want-that' goodies!

For the kids

During the open days, there really is something for everyone, including children. They are very welcome. Especially for them, there is a bouncy castle, a sandbox to play in, and fun games to play, such as Connect Four.

But there is much more: face painting*, kids' tattoos*, a drawing table, mini pancakes*, and of course lemonade.

*only present on Saturday

Food court

Need to recharge with food and a drink? You can do so at the specially designed food and beverage square. Here you can relax and chat about all the nice things you saw at Staad.

We don't want to reveal any more than this just yet; for that, you simply have to come take a look for yourself in Veghel and experience the #Staadkracht. Staad is moving into the future with great energy, and you are most welcome.

A real must-see that will be talked about for a long time!
