Articulated Crawler Cranes Market Report 2026

The articulated crawler cranes market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.29 billion in 2025 to $1.41 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to infrastructure development projects, mining sector growth, urban construction expansion, oil and gas investments, demand for heavy machinery.

The articulated crawler cranes market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.98 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to wind energy installations, large scale infrastructure spending, automation in lifting equipment, demand for low emission cranes, growth of crane rental market. Major trends in the forecast period include demand for heavy lift capabilities, adoption in confined construction sites, growth of rental equipment services, focus on fuel efficient crane systems, use in renewable energy projects.

The growing emphasis on smart cities is expected to drive the growth of the articulated crawler cranes market going forward. Smart cities are urban areas that leverage digital technologies, data, and intelligent infrastructure to enhance quality of life, improve service efficiency, and promote sustainability. This emphasis is rising due to rapid urbanization, as cities seek innovative solutions to manage infrastructure, resources, and population growth effectively. Articulated crawler cranes support smart city development by providing versatile lifting capabilities and high maneuverability, making them well-suited for complex urban construction projects. They facilitate infrastructure growth by enabling safe, precise, and efficient operations in confined spaces. For example, in November 2025, Patent Professional Corporation, a US-based private law firm and technology company, reported that by 2023, more than 1,000 cities worldwide had launched smart city initiatives, according to an aggregated global survey of urban projects across regions. Therefore, the growing emphasis on smart cities is fueling the growth of the articulated crawler cranes market.

Rising infrastructure development is further boosting market growth, driven by the need to expand transport, energy, water, and communication systems in growing urban areas. Articulated crawler cranes enhance construction efficiency by offering powerful lifting capacity, flexibility, and reliability across diverse terrains. In 2023, total general government investment in infrastructure in the UK reached $17.25 billion (£13.8 billion), a 3.9% increase from 2022, according to the Office for National Statistics. This growth reflects the rising demand for equipment capable of supporting large-scale urban projects.

Companies are developing advanced remote-control systems to improve crane safety and operational efficiency. These systems allow operators to manage cranes from a distance, enabling precise movements, reducing fatigue, and facilitating operation in confined or hazardous spaces. For example, in August 2024, Italy-based Jekko S.r.l. launched the JF235, a compact articulated crawler crane with a fully proportional radio remote control and a patented hydraulic system, capable of folding to a narrow width of 780 mm (30.7 inches) for restricted-access urban sites.
