What #rentalequipment trends are shaping up in 2019? The editorial team at Construction Business Owner magazine weighs in on this topic in our most recent #DirectAccess Q&A. Read the full post at jlg.com/directaccess

Q: What are some of the trends you're seeing in #rentalfleets in 2019?

A: Market reports predict continued growth in commercial and residential infrastructure through 2024. As such, the demand for rental equipment is only expected to increase as more #construction companies are looking to alternative methods of obtaining necessary #jobsite equipment. With the economy indicating signs of a slight recession in the next year or so, business owners will also look to rental equipment as a “safer” option for sourcing equipment than investing more money in assets they may not need if the economy takes a downturn.

The major players in the rental space understand that in the current competitive industry, they must automate. As such, they’re procuring equipment with the latest technologies, such as #IoT and scalable #telematics. An increase in federal projects and projects taking place in urban areas where tight spaces, noise restrictions and more may add complications to the project’s scope have predicated the need for equipment with tech that simplifies operations. These technologies include optimized operator interfaces with machine diagnostics and smaller versions of job site equipment with reduced tail-swing radius.
