By Ben Thorpe – Equipment World – November 11, 2024
Since Donald Trump’s election victory on November 6, Equipment World has heard from some construction equipment dealers expressing optimism and excitement for the future administration’s impact on their business.
Five dealers said customers are already returning to the stores to purchase equipment, something they’d been hesitant to do without knowing who would win the election.
Todd Bachman, CEO of 14-store Florida Kubota dealer Florida Coast Equipment, said the day after the election: “Last night’s results bring a tremendous boost to our industry. Many customers had been holding off on new purchases, waiting to see the outcome of the election.
“With the victory now confirmed, we’re seeing renewed interest across the board, which aligns with what the majority of our customers were hoping for. This opens the door for us to move forward with stronger momentum.”
