Changing regulations are factored into this projection. The U.S. Department of Labor, for example, has issued regulations that require employees to provide a safe work environment, which applies to power-operated equipment that lower, hoist, and horizontally move a suspended load. This includes articulating cranes, crawler cranes, cranes on barges, floating cranes, locomotive cranes, and boom trucks.
Many manufacturers are upgrading their equipment to better meet the changing demand across utility, telecom, and other industry verticals. Mergers and acquisitions have become part of this strategy, as manufacturers are able to expand their product portfolios.
