The rental loader cranes market is well established in North America and Western Europe. Conversely, this factor is also anticipated to inhibit the growth of loader cranes market in the coming years. Owing to high cost and maintenance associated with new loader cranes, small and mid-sized companies are opting for equipment on rental basis. Further, strong demand for used loader cranes against low cost China-based loader cranes has been observed in Vietnam, India and Middle East & Africa, primarily due to lack of monetary resources to invest in new loader cranes. Although, loader cranes renting would only impact the market growth in the first half of forecast period, it is likely to be compensated by product advancements, attributable to stringent environmental regulations and increasing awareness levels.
