Construction Equipment Trends
- General downturn: The downturn in residential and commercial construction has affected sales and rentals of general construction equipment. The impact on heavy construction equipment has not been as major as that for smaller equipment, as heavy construction equipment is mainly driven by infrastructure works on roads, rail, ports and other major projects.
- Cranes boost: The demand for all different types of cranes has grown in the infrastructure market. There is a continuing healthy demand for crawler cranes, especially for heavy infrastructure projects.
