  • Wet weather affected which months equipment rentals rose, fell or stayed the same. 
  • Scissor lifts remained the most commonly rented equipment type. 
  • Heavy duty equipment continued to account for the most revenue.
  • Generators and other power equipment rose in popularity.
  • Telematics and technology innovated the industry.
  • Construction equipment rentals continued to rise. 
  • More customers than ever rented online.

Cannon also anticipates construction equipment rentals will continue to grow throughout 2020, and that technological advancements will remain key to serving customers in the construction industry.
