Contractors expect to rent equipment slightly more often; rental rates are expected to hold steady; and distributorsÂ’ share of the rental market has grown slightly.
No matter how you slice it, there are tough times ahead for all of us. ItÂ’s important to remember, however, that the construction and rental industries have been through economic downturns in the past and have come back stronger in the long run. In the meantime, there are no easy solutions and the road might be bumpy, but keeping our eyes focused on the future while our hands are busy in the present will help make the journey a little bit smoother - we hope.
