PAF has for the first time
ever made an estimate of the
size of the worldwide rental
fleet for mobile elevating work
platforms (MEWPs).This has
been set at approximately 950,000
units.
At the same time, it has
reported in the IPAF US Powered
Access Rental Market Report
2013 that the US MEWP rental
market experienced robust
growth in 2012 (+6%) to reach
approximately $6.6 billion. While
rental companies kept fleet sizes
steady in 2011, 2012 saw a return
to fleet expansion (+6%). Fleet
size and investments are expected
to increase in 2013.
The Brazilian MEWP rental
fleet is meanwhile estimated to
have reached 19,000 to 19,500
units at the end of 2012, a
phenomenal growth of 30% over
2011.
The European MEWP rental
market in the 10 countries
surveyed remained stable in
2012 (+0%) and is estimated at
approximately €2.3 billion ($3
billion), according to the IPAF
European Powered Access Rental
Market Report 2013.The 10
European countries surveyed
were: Denmark, Finland, France,
Germany, Italy, the Netherlands,
Norway, Spain, Sweden and the
