Construction Equipment Trends 2025: Inside Q1–Q2 Demand & What It Means for You

Each quarter, thousands of contractors across the U.S. and Canada search online for equipment to buy—revealing real-time trends in what machines are most in demand. Based on that lead activity, we’ve analyzed the top-requested equipment in Q1 and Q2 of 2025 to uncover shifts in demand and what contractors may be prioritizing as we move into Q3.

The insights below are from internal sales inquiry data collected through FleetNow, January 1–June 16, 2025.

Top 10 Equipment Categories: Q1 vs. Q2 2025 Based on Lead Count

Top 10 Equipment Categories by Lead Count 2025

What Changed from Q1 to Q2 2025

While the top three categories remained consistent—boom lifts, scissor lifts, and telehandlers—there were some notable shifts in Q2:

  • Runabouts jumped into the top 10 after seeing a 100%+ increase in inquiries. This suggests growing demand for compact vertical lifts, often used for indoor maintenance or warehouse projects.

  • Utility vehicles saw a sharp drop of over 50% compared to Q1. This may indicate that many buyers stocked up early in the year or paused new purchases due to budget constraints.

  • Skid steers and compact track loaders saw modest declines (around 20–25%), while excavators remained steady across both quarters.

Equipment Categories with the Highest Buyer Demand per Listing

We took a closer look at buyer inquiries from the first half of 2025 and analyzed how lead volume compared to the number of listings. This revealed the six equipment categories with the strongest buyer demand per listing:

The lead-to-listing ratio shows a shift in demand from aerial equipment to dirt equipment when measured by lead density. While boom lifts and scissor lifts generate high total lead volume, categories like excavators and mini excavators see more inquiries per listing—suggesting tighter competition and stronger buyer urgency.

Either way you look at it, these categories are top performers. Whether it’s total lead count or lead-to-listing efficiency, they continue to drive contractor interest and activity from buyers.

What this Means for Equipment BUYERS

If you’re planning to buy equipment this summer, here’s what you need to know:

  • Act early on high-demand Equipment— Boom lifts, scissor lifts, and telehandlers are still top targets. The best units—especially those with low hours or clean inspection reports—won’t stay available for long.

  • Compact machines are moving fast. Mini excavators and skid steers are seeing the highest interest per listing. Expect tighter competition and fewer options the longer you wait.

  • Be flexible. If you’re open to alternative brands, higher-hour machines, or used equipment with good maintenance records, you’ll have better luck in a competitive market.

“Boom lifts, scissors, and telehandlers are always in high demand – especially this time of year. I always recommend buying from a reputable dealer or rental yard because you’re more likely to get a machine that’s been fleet-maintained and has inspection records. Even if you know what you’re looking for, FleetNow can help by doing the legwork and connecting you with the right dealer and the right equipment,” says Jill Lackey, Marketing Manager at FleetNow.

Pro tip: The earlier in Q3 you buy, the more options you’ll have—and the less likely you’ll hit scheduling delays later in the season.

What This Means for Equipment SELLERS

  • Cross-post across platforms for increased exposure. Use multiple marketplaces, your email list, and social channels to increase exposure—especially if you’ve got unique or late-model units. Contractors are browsing daily. If your equipment isn’t online, it’s not part of the conversation. Use your listings to show how equipment solves problems—across trades, industries, and project phases. Include lots of photos, maintenance details, and inspection reports.

“Buyers are comparing listings—but they still tend to move forward with whoever gets back to them first and gives them everything they need to make a decision. That means recent photos, a walkaround video, maintenance records, and a fresh inspection report. Some dealers even offer a short-term parts-only guarantee, which goes a long way in closing the sale,” says Jill Lackey of FleetNow.

“We’re also seeing more buyers come in already thinking about shipping and financing. Around 11% are asking for shipping quotes, and 4% are exploring loans. That kind of behavior usually means they’re close to buying,” Jill adds.

  • Make compact equipment a priority. Mini excavators, skid steers, and compact track loaders continue to show high buyer intent. With summer projects picking up, these are smart machines to spotlight.

  • Don’t overlook your mid-tier equipment. Equipment like trailers, towable booms, and wheel loaders are quietly gaining traction. Promote them now before demand spikes.

2025 Construction Equipment Trends – Bottom Line

The construction equipment market in 2025 is being shaped by smarter planning, tighter budgets, and evolving job site needs. Our lead data reflects that contractors are adapting quickly—shifting toward compact, versatile, and cost-effective solutions.

Expect continued strength in aerial and compact categories as we enter Q3, along with rising interest in equipment that supports efficiency and mobility on the job site.

If you’re buying or selling, understanding these trends can help you stay one step ahead. Check out the FAQs, infographic, and links below for more info on buying and selling construction equipment.

Construction Equipment Trends 2025 Q1 and Q2

FAQs

Often, yes. Q1 typically sees a surge in inquiries as contractors plan ahead for spring and summer projects. Q2 tends to stabilize as work gets underway and buyers shift from planning to execution.

Not necessarily. Q3 is still peak season, and waiting too long could mean limited inventory or higher pricing. Buying earlier helps ensure better selection.

Aerial equipment (boom lifts, scissor lifts, telehandlers) and compact machines (mini excavators, CTLs, skid steers) continue to perform well and maintain solid resale value.

Many online marketplaces, like FleetNow, can handle your shipping needs and provide shipping quotes. They also work with trusted partners who can provide financing options. About 11% of leads this year have requested shipping, and 4% have explored financing.

Scissor lifts are one of the most widely used machines on commercial job sites, and they’re also one of the most commonly listed. Their consistent presence in the top categories reflects both their versatility and high listing volume—though not necessarily the highest urgency per unit.

Yes—categories like mini excavators and skid steers tend to have fewer listings and higher leads-per-listing, which means buyers have fewer options and often move quickly when they see the right machine.

Often, yes. Categories like mini excavators or excavators may have fewer total listings, but each unit tends to get more attention. That makes them good opportunities for both buyers (less clutter to sort through) and sellers (faster turnaround).

Demand usually dips in late fall and winter, depending on the region. However, buyer behavior varies—some take advantage of slower seasons to find deals or prep for spring. Some businesses choose to take advantage of the tax benefits by buying before the end of the year.

Most buyers want to confirm the condition of the machine, how it’s been maintained, and whether it’s available now. Fast follow-up, inspection reports, and transparency on condition go a long way.

Be ready to move. Ask for inspection details, make sure your financing or payment plan is in place, and respond quickly. In high-demand categories, it’s not uncommon for good machines to move within a few days of listing.

How to Buy a Used Towable Boom Lift

When thinking about buying a used towable boom lift, several factors come into play. These machines are helpful for reaching high places, making tasks like tree trimming, painting, and maintenance easier and safer. However, before making a purchase, one should consider its condition, age, and any prior damage or repairs. Opting for a used towable boom lift can be a cost-effective choice for businesses or individuals needing height access without the hefty price tag of a brand-new unit.

Benefits of Buying and Owning a Used Towable Boom Lift

Used towable boom lifts, also referred to as tow-behind or trailer-mounted boom lifts, are valuable assets on many job sites. Towable booms offer the mobility of a small utility vehicle and the reach of a self-propelled lift platform. Other benefits include:

  • Reach and Mobility: They give operators the ability to reach high places and they have on-the-go mobility. The shorter the reach height, the easier the maneuverability when towing the lift.
  • Lightweight Design: This ensures they can function in areas unsuitable for heavier lifts.
  • User-Friendly: Designed with simplicity, making operations straightforward.
  • Easy Transportation: Users can conveniently transport the boom lift, eliminating additional delivery costs.
  • Cost-Effective: Presents a more budget-friendly option compared to regular boom lifts.

To the right, you’ll see a comparison of the general specs of a towable lift vs a regular boom lift. Note the difference in weight and ground bearing pressure:

How to Buy a Used Towable Boom Lift

Max Ground Bearing Pressure: 64 PSI

What Should I Look for When Buying a Used Towable Boom Lift?

Besides making sure you are buying the right size lift for your project(s), there are several other factors to consider. If you are buying from a rental yard or equipment dealer, ask to see the inspection reports for the lift. They will show all regular maintenance and inspections, plus any issues or repairs that have been needed in the past.

John Cossick, from OHR Rents in Cleveland, OH, turns to JLGs when buying towable booms. “They are more durable and tend to be less finicky than other brands,” says Cossick. The JLG T500J and the JLG T350 have performed well in OHR’s rental fleet. He also looks for features like self-leveling and self-propelled towable lifts so they can be moved easily once on the jobsite.

The oldest towable boom lift for sale on FleetNow is a 2009 Genie TZ-34/20

When buying a used towable boom lift, consider the year, number of hours, and overall condition (the inspection reports will help with that).

The oldest towable boom lift available through FleetNow as of August of 2023, for example, is this 2009 Genie TZ-34/20 with only 120 hours for $24,900.

The towable lift with the highest number of hours is this 2016 Bil-Jax 5533A

The towable with the highest hours on FleetNow is a 2016 Bil-Jax 5533A with 2,823 hours, which has a sale price of $35,200.

Note: It’s entirely acceptable to ask for detailed photos of all 4 tires, control panel, meter, motor, and of any damage to the lift you’re thinking about buying. Don’t forget to compare the meter readings in the photo to the meter reading advertised. Here are some examples of photos you should expect to receive:

Always ask for a photo of the current meter on the towable lift you want to buy
Make sure you can see all angles and sides of the towable lift

What Sizes Are Available for Used Towable Boom Lifts?

The size of a towable boom lift is often described in terms of its maximum platform height or working height. Here are some general categories based on working height:

  • 30-35 Feet: Common for smaller tasks, suitable for residential or light commercial use.
  • 40-50 Feet: A more versatile range for commercial applications, including building maintenance, tree trimming, and construction tasks.
  • 50-70 Feet: Used for more demanding jobs that require extended reach, like higher building maintenance or advanced construction projects.

While the working height gives an idea of how high the platform can extend, the horizontal reach might vary based on the model. Some models offer a jib or an articulating arm, providing better versatility in reaching challenging spots.

In addition to height, potential buyers should consider lift capacity, stabilization options, and any additional features that might be necessary for specific tasks.

How Much do Used Towable Boom Lifts Cost?

The cost of used towable boom lifts varies for a few reasons, including size, age, condition, brand, model, and any additional features they might have. Here are some general ranges to give you an idea of what to expect based on platform heights:

  • Small Lifts (30-35 feet): These could range from $18,000 to $45,000.
    • For example, the average retail price of a 2023 JLG T350 is $37,264 on buyfleetnow.com. In comparison, a 2017 JLG T350 averages $27,425.
    • Here are a couple examples from FleetNow:
2023 JLG T350 towable boom lift for sale on FleetNow
2017 JLG T350 towable boom lift for sale on FleetNow
  • Medium Towable Lifts (40-50 feet): These typically fall in the $17,500 to $60,000 range depending on the condition and age of the lift. You can find a like-new 2023 JLG T500J online for $59,900 and a 2011 T500J for $22,900.
  • Larger Towable Lifts (50-70 feet): These might cost between $29,500 and $69,900 or more, depending on the model and features.

Remember, these are just general estimates, and prices can fluctuate based on the local market, demand, and other factors.

Where Can I Buy Used Towable Boom Lifts?

You can buy a used towable boom lift for your rental yard or business from other local equipment dealers or rental yards, online marketplaces, from the manufacturer, or from an online auction.

Online marketplaces have become a very viable option over the past several years with tens of thousands of listings at your fingertips. They are easy to filter to find what you need, and they often provide financing and shipping options for a seamless transaction.

What Type of Vehicle Can I Use to Transport a Used Towable Boom Lift?

Towable boom lifts are designed to be transported easily using a variety of vehicles. However, the type of vehicle you should use largely depends on the size and weight of the boom lift. Here are some general guidelines:

Small to Medium Lifts (up to 50 feet):

  • Most can be towed by standard full-sized pickups or SUVs with a towing package.
  • Ensure the vehicle’s towing capacity exceeds the combined weight of the boom lift.
  • The 34′ JLG T350 weighs 3,400lb, for reference.

Larger Lifts (50-70 feet and up):

  • Heavy-duty pickup trucks or larger commercial vehicles might be required.
  • These lifts are heavier and may require a vehicle with a greater towing capacity.
  • The 56′ JLG T500J weighs 4,800lb.

General Considerations:

  • Ensure you have the right hitch type and size. A common hitch for many towable boom lifts is a ball hitch, but some might require a pintle hitch, especially for heavier models.
  • Check the vehicle’s brakes. Towable boom lifts can be heavy, and it’s crucial that your vehicle has adequate braking power.
  • Use safety chains and ensure all lights and indicators on the trailer are functioning correctly.

Before transporting any towable boom lift, always refer to the lift’s manual and the towing vehicle’s specifications. Ensuring you match the weight and requirements will ensure safety on the road.

Here are some common pickup truck models and their towing capacity:

Used Towable Boom Lifts in Florida
Make & Model Max Towing Capacity Configuration
Ford F-150 14,000 pounds 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6
Chevrolet Silverado 1500 13,300 pounds 3.0-liter turbodiesel, double cab, 2WD, max trailering package, and 20-inch wheels

Spartan Lawn Mower Reviews – See What Spartan Owners Are Saying

Here are just a few of the reviews posted on Google Reviews in August 2023:

QUALITY – 5 Star Review

I own a Spartan RZ-C 42in. This mower is considered a Residential mower but to be honest it’s built as Commercial mower. It features a wide wheel base that helps with cutting on banks. And the cut is as good as a Kubota or better. I would purchase another spartan and if the business grows I will be making the purchase in a year.

Mark R, Google Review – August 2023
COMFORT – 5 Star Review

I have a spartan zero turn Kawasaki engine. It’s awesome. Lawn looks great. The Spartan seat is comfortable and I don’t even know I have been sitting in it for 2 hours straight. This is some machine.

David Turner, Google Review – August 2023

SPEED – 5 Star Review

This is the best tractor I’ve ever bought. I had a John Deere. It took me three hours to cut the grass with the Spartan. I’m done in an hour and a half.

William Arnold, Google Review – August 2023

PERFORMANCE – 5 Star Review

Was originally going to buy a hustler until I saw the spartan just looked like a better built mower! Purchased the spartan and love it, cuts clean plenty of power, well designed controls did not disappoint! Only wish the mulch kit was a little better priced was hoping to purchase before leaves start falling we will see how that goes? Don’t be afraid to purchase this mower they got it right! Thanks spartan made mowing fun!

David Heath, Google Review – August 2023
COMFORT & PERFORMANCE – 5 Star Review

I recently purchased two Spartan RZ-HD zero turn mowers and a Spartan Stand-On mower and have been nothing but impressed with them. They’re incredibly comfortable, mow very well, and are easy to maintenance. Couldn’t be more impressed with them.

New FleetNow™ Inspection App Saves 10 Workdays Per Year, Per Mechanic

Time Study: Digitizing Rental Equipment Inspections Saves 80 Hours of Work Per Mechanic, Per Year

A time study conducted for FleetNow Inspect™ found that companies that replace paper equipment inspections with digital inspections can save 80 hours of work per mechanic, per year.

The study, released today, followed mechanics, front desk employees, and managers at Cleveland-based OHR Rents for 30 days. The study tracked the time spent preparing rental ready and annual inspections using paper forms versus FleetNow Inspect for the 1,300+ machines owned by OHR Rents. Click here to see the full case study.

“Even when mechanics have every piece of paper at the ready, they still had to spend time copying numbers from one sheet or report to the next,” Service Manager Tom Yagersz says. “Restocking paperwork, reprinting forms, and walking from a workstation to deliver paperwork ate up a surprising amount of time.”

“Our findings show that switching from paper to digital saved more than two and a half minutes for each machine inspected – with additional savings for front desk workers and equipment managers after the machine was inspected,” Jeff Kresock, Director of IT at FleetNow says. “When it’s time to sell a machine, it will be easier to email the buyer with all past inspection reports to help close the deal.”

That time savings alone could translate into 89 additional equipment inspections per year for each of the mechanics at OHR Rents – which means faster rental turnaround and increased customer satisfaction.

Once the study was completed, employees began using the FleetNow Inspect app to maintain the OHR Rents’ fleet.

“The team liked having every inspection form available at their bench and in the field,” Field Service Inspector Jeremy Nelson says. “I didn’t have to track down a missing form or worry about the paper getting wet in the rain or blowing away. Plus, the app showed me important information, like the work order number, without having to search for it on the page.”

See the study here to see how much savings you could see yearly by switching to FleetNow Inspect.

How Does FleetNow Integration Help Me?

FleetNow integration keeps your equipment listings up to date without any time or effort on your part. FleetNow syncs with your existing rental software or spreadsheet and updates your listings on FleetNow daily. Integration also gives you more control over your listings.

When you sell a piece of equipment, it will automatically be removed from FleetNow, so you’ll only get leads on equipment that’s available. And, if you’d like to hide equipment from the marketplace that’s on rent, that’s an option too.

Did you know, integration keeps buyers coming back? Buyers are always asking, “is this machine still available?” That means they are used to finding outdated listings on other sites. On FleetNow, buyers know the equipment listed is really available, and they have a better experience when buying equipment. Good experiences = return buyers.

How does FleetNow Integration Work?

Let us know how you manage your inventory, and we’ll set up an integration to keep your equipment listings current on FleetNow. FleetNow can set up integrations from many sources including your current rental software, an API feed from another advertising site, and from a spreadsheet.

We can accept an API feed from other advertising sites like My Little Salesman, for example. We’ll reach out on your behalf to get the feed from their IT department, and you’ll be kept in the loop throughout the process. We can also work with a custom API feed from your IT department.

If you manage your inventory from a spreadsheet, just share the file from OneBox, Google Drive, or OneHub, and we’ll pull the data from your spreadsheet every day to keep your listings up to date on FleetNow.

Rental software, like Point of Rental (POR), can automatically send reports to an email address that will update your listings on FleetNow. One of our integration experts will work with you to get the reports set up and sending properly.

Don’t see an option above that will work for you? No problem! Let us know how you manage your inventory, and we’ll come up with a solution!

My Listings are Integrated with FleetNow. What’s Next?

LEADS, LEADS, AND MORE LEADS will start rolling in after your equipment listings are integrated with FleetNow.

In addition, you can use FleetNow’s Dashboard to track your leads and view your equipment details at a glance.

Details like price changes and equipment that was recently added to or removed from FleetNow can be quickly viewed, making it easy to update your listings on advertising sites like Machinery Trader, My Little Salesman, and Equipment Trader. FleetNow can even update your listings on other sites for you, saving you even more time.

Integration also gives you the opportunity to show your current listings on your own website. We’ll create a custom page for your site that shows your listings from FleetNow. It will be built to match your site’s design, and it will always be up to date with your current inventory – just like on FleetNow! There’s no need to update equipment details in multiple places anymore. FleetNow takes care of it for you.
