The EquipmentWatch INDEX is the only heavy equipment report that covers Construction, Commercial Truck, Agriculture and Lift Trucks.

The August EquipmentWatch INDEX includes a quick snapshot of price, volume and age trends observed during July 2015. The INDEX is a free monthly resource for critical thinkers in the construction equipment industry to make better informed heavy equipment decisions around price, market share and equipment age metrics.

Over the past month, here are a few highlights of what we've observed:

July 2015 in Review

Construction: Summer slowdowns in used construction equipment market activity led to declining sales volume in every state across the Continental US in July.

Lift Trucks: Lift truck prices are steadily increasing with an average price increase of 7% in the US.

Agriculture: Agricultural equipment average prices rebounded in July, climbing nearly 14% over June levels.

On-Highway Truck: With more 2015’s entering the used market for light duty trucks, the average age decreased to 1.2 years from June.
