By GlobalData
  • Demand slowed gradually
    throughout the year with the continued reduction in the UK
    construction sector.
  • Annual trend generally shows
    increased demand over March and April; however, at present this has
    not been forthcoming.

Wheeled loading shovels

  • Generally no major changes in
    demand for wheeled shovels, although the overall trend is
    negative.
  • As with most construction plant,
    leading manufacturers’ machinery will sell more quickly than second
    tier equipment.

Site dumpers

  • Continual and rapid reduction in
    demand throughout the year due to the general slowdown in the house
    and small contract building sector.

Directional drilling

  • A continually weak UK market,
    which is showing little, if no, improvement over the coming months,
    due to limited operational requirement.
  • A large quantity of second-user
    machines are available on the US second-user marketplace due to a
    major downturn in the cabling sector.
