Volatility in the Market: Construction Slows, Ag Holds, Lift/Access Struggles
Lift/Access, and Agriculture sectors. Tariff pressures and delayed projects are weighing on construction activity, pushing values and usage lower. Lift/Access shows signs of increased utilization, but long-term stress indicators suggest broader headwinds for private development. In contrast, the Ag sector continues to show resilience, with rising values and growing equipment usage—despite ongoing cost pressures. Across the board, dealers and contractors are navigating volatility with caution, leaning into data, flexibility, and long-view investments to manage risk.
