Rental Mart refreshed

It’s a whole new Rental Mart. The return of Canada’s trade expo for the equipment and event rental industry brings with it a refreshed and revised approach featuring many “firsts” never before done in the show’s 30-year history.

The ARA forecast for equipment rental revenue in Canada, combining construction and general tool revenue, closely mirrors the outlook for the U.S., projecting growth of 14.4 percent in 2022 to $4.7 billion, 6 percent in 2023, 2 percent in 2024, 3.4 percent in 2025 and 3.3 percent in 2026 to exceed $5.4 billion.

For those of us in the construction equipment industry, we can make a difference – but we need to act fast.
