Briggs Equipment hosted a series of open houses across South Carolina during April. The many guests were able to test dig the complete Case line-up from Briggs Equipment from the skid steer loader to the artic truck and motorgraders.

Briggs Equipment also held an operator rodeo at each location. The operators tested their skills on various pieces of equipment including backhoe loaders and excavators. There also was a small fry competition for the kids with a mini-excavator. The younger contestants had to catch a metal fish and release it in a box.

Coverage of Briggs Equipment’s Asheville, NC, open house, also held in April, will be in the next southeast edition of Construction Equipment Guide (CEG).
