The UK is one of the largest markets for construction equipment in Europe. There are estimated to be close to 200,00 pieces of equipment working in the UK. Three product types now account for over 80% of plant sales, namely Mini-excavators up to 8 tonnes, tracked excavators over 8 tonnes and telescopic handlers. Annual sales of these three product groups run at around 37,000 unit per annum.
The market leaders in these three product groups have the highest annual sales, namely Kubota, Manitou, JCB, Komatsu and Caterpillar.
