Branch Manager, Zeppelin Baumaschinen GmbH
What we like most about RATL is the quality of the discussions. The atmosphere at the event is relaxed, but still extremely professional. Here we can really focus on our customers and their needs.
Sales Representative, Eggersmann GmbH
RATL is an outstanding exhibition that gives the industry exactly what it needs. We also meet international customers here from Switzerland, France and Austria, who make decisions on site at the event.
Hans Meyer AG
The trade fair is extremely interesting and well organised. The demonstrations in particular are really exciting. Being able to see how the machines work, instead of just hearing about it in theory, makes a big difference.
OUTDOOR EXHIBITION AREA "Peter-Gross-Bau Areal": upgraded surface
The refurbished surface with drainage system is just one of the benefits that exhibitors in the outdoor exhibition area can look forward to at the fifth edition of RATL at the Karlsruhe Trade Fair Centre. 12 km of underground construction and 30 km of power cables ensure reliable water and electricity supply, as well as wifi coverage. As RATL prioritises demonstration over presentation, the outdoor exhibition area "Peter-Gross-Bau Areal" will continue to give exhibitors who want to demonstrate their products the chance to showcase their machinery live in a trench depth of up to 1.20 m (deeper on request).
INDOOR EXHIBITION AREA
In the indoor exhibition area, we are continuing the layout plan that proved successful in past years. This revolves around a “fast lane” that leads visitors past the indoor stands on their way to the outdoor exhibition area "Peter-Gross-Bau Areal". As a result, the indoor exhibition area remains largely unaffected by the new outdoor structure.
Choose the participation concept that best suits your objectives:
In the outdoor exhibition area "Peter-Gross-Bau Areal", you have the choice between a static or a demonstration stand area. You can also book a stand space in the indoor exhibition area.
Live and up close! Are your machines, systems and attachments at their most impressive in live operation? Then choose the demonstration presentation format and benefit from the most attractive pricing model.
Show off your product! This static format is ideal for showcasing your systems and machinery.
"Fast lane" to outdoor area: Position your products on the main walkway to the outdoor exhibition area "Peter-Gross-Bau Areal" and make your brand the centre of attention. Everyone will see you!
Below you will find an overview of the applicable conditions for participating in the RecyclingAKTIV & TiefbauLIVE 2025.

With a series of specialised demonstration building sites and special theme areas, we provide the first touchpoint for your customers. A show environment with around 50 professionally staged and expertly presented live shows about various material flows, applications and drive systems brings your technology to life in front of a specialist industry audience at RATL. Grab the attention of potential customers with a short but effective presentation of the added value you offer. The shows are the perfect way to transition and invite visitors to your stand for more in-depth discussions.
And action! Show what your attachments can do!
In 2025, the attachments arena will be transformed into a vibrant stage showcasing the demolition and shredding of mineral construction waste, before it is then processed into high-quality secondary building materials. Put yourself at the centre of the action in the attachments arena, placed between the recycling and civil engineering exhibition areas. The curtain will raise here three times a day.
Product overview:
At the demonstration building site infrastructure construction, coordinated by the VDBUM, the focus will be drawn for the first time to the process chain in a railway track construction project. Why not take on parts of the process with your products? Whether moving earth and preparing the site, constructing the track bed and making precise measurements, or laying the sleepers, there are plenty of areas where your machinery can shine. Together with the peripheral tasks that are necessary to fully prepare the track for operation, such as slope stabilisation or building mast foundations, the demonstration building site brings a broad range of equipment for civil and special engineering to life.
Product overview:
Ever stricter noise and emissions regulations for inner-city construction and demolition projects are posing a growing challenge to civil engineering, demolition, gardening and landscaping companies. The solution: a zero-emissions, low-noise and efficient construction site! Use this demonstration building site, designed together with the VDBUM and the Baden-Württemberg Gardening and Landscaping Association, to practically demonstrate the benefits of your systems with alternative drives.
Product overview*:
* The focus is on products with alternative drives
This special theme area is all about throughput and demonstrates how renewable materials can be processed efficiently. With approximately 2,500 m² of space, it provides the perfect demonstration conditions for commissioning material handling equipment and recycling plants for shredding, screening, crushing and sorting materials like old wood, logs and cuttings.

FKM, the Society for the Voluntary Control of Fair and Exhibition Statistics, was founded in 1965. It made the comparability and reliability of trade-fair statistics one of its basic principles right from the start.
The FKM developed standardised rules for the collection of exhibitor, space and visitor statistics as well as for visitor profiles. Compliance with the rules are monitored by a professional auditor. After all, proper planning for exhibitors and visitors is only possible if they can be certain that existing data has been collected over time and in comparison with other trade fairs according to standard definitions.
Each year almost 70 organizers of some 300 trade fairs and exhibitions are subject to audits by FKM. RecyclingAKTIV & TiefbauLAIVE 2022 was also assessed by FKM.
