Cranes Are Likely to Dominate The Construction Equipment Rental Market

The cranes are expected to lead the construction equipment rental market as Rental cranes are available in different types and are majorly classified as, crawler cranes, all terrain cranes, rough terrain cranes, tower cranes, and truck-mounted cranes. Among them, crawler cranes, all terrain cranes, tower cranes, and truck-mounted cranes have been majorly adopted in the construction sector, while rough terrain cranes have covered a limited demand in construction and major demand in mining sector.

With the stark rise in affordable housing and smart city projects by the Indian government (Pradhanmantri Awaas Yojna and Mukhyamantri Awaas Yojna), the demand for tower cranes has been continually increasing.
