The used construction equipment market has shown resilience, with strong construction activity and rental demand driving growth. Despite challenges such as tariffs and macroeconomic uncertainties, the market has maintained stability due to a steady pipeline of construction projects. Seasonal factors, including increased summer activity, have also contributed to the market's strength.

Dealers in the construction equipment sector are adapting to high rental demand by improving their rental management skills. They are learning from past mistakes and becoming more efficient in managing rental fleets, which helps in avoiding a surge in rental returns. This strategic approach ensures that the right equipment is available for a broad range of customers, enhancing overall operational efficiency.
