FEATURES

The construction market in Turkey
is forecast to grow more rapidly
than any market within Europe in
the coming years, and construction
equipment manufacturers from around
the world are targeting the country.
But competition from home-grown
companies is fierce.
COMPACT LOADERS
32
Different European markets are
recovering from the economic crisis at
different paces, and it is clear that some
of the traditional markets for compact
loaders have been suffering. However,
as Sandy Guthrie finds out, that hasn’t
slowed down the introduction of new
models.

consider when installing foundations
or improving soil conditions, and the
bigger the project, the bigger the
potential impact. Manufacturers are
constantly developing new technology
to speed up efficiency and reduce
environmental issues.
