The Europe truck-mounted lifting, handling & access equipment market is being reshaped by digitalization, clean energy investment and fleet modernization. Valued at USD 4,097.7 million in 2024, the market is projected to reach USD 4,792.0 million in 2025 and USD 9,148.0 million by 2034, growing at a CAGR of 4.4% during the forecast period 2025–2034. Key players include Alimak Hek, Bolzoni, EFFER, Haulotte Group, HMF Cranes, Jungheinrich, KLUBB, Liebherr, Manitou Group and Palfinger.

Infrastructure and Construction Drive Europe Truck-Mounted Lifting, Handling & Access Equipment Demand

Growing infrastructure and construction activity, fueled by transportation upgrades, public utility modernization and urban development, is a primary driver. A February 2025 European Union report stated that construction production grew by 0.6% in the euro area and 0.8% in the EU during 2024. Contractors need tools that support quick, effective material handling and working-at-height safety, and mounted equipment offers reliability, mobility and the ability to operate in limited space within dense urban environments, in line with safety regulations.

Clean Energy Expansion Widens Use Cases

The shift toward solar, wind and other clean energy installations requires equipment that can reach heights, support lifting tasks and operate in challenging terrain. Truck-mounted cranes and platforms are preferred for their mobility, enabling rapid delivery of renewable energy projects. Demand rises as the equipment improves maintenance accessibility, installation efficiency and worker safety, and it links equipment capability directly to sustainability goals.

Telematics and IoT: Smarter Fleet Management

Integration of IoT technology and telematics is now an essential standard across fleets. In October 2025, AddSecure and Schmitz Cargobull extended their collaboration to develop a fully integrated telematics solution for trucks and trailers. Telematics systems enable real-time equipment monitoring, usage optimization, asset tracking and predictive maintenance, which reduces downtime and improves machine performance. They are preferred in remote and urban operating environments, as European contractors prioritize preventive servicing and utilization of mobile lifting equipment.

Rental Models and Refurbishment Trends

Expansion of rental fleets and growing refurbishment demand support a cost-effective, flexible acquisition model, and the preference for compliant, well-maintained and technologically updated equipment aligns with regulatory requirements. As fleet owners aim to extend equipment lifecycles, optimize operating costs and improve performance, refurbishment activity continues to grow. Refurbishment lets owners and rental companies maximize asset value, lower lifecycle costs and maintain availability without buying new units, while reducing waste and raw material demand in support of sustainability targets.

Country and Segment Context

Germany held the largest share in 2024 at 19.84%, supported by manufacturing improvements, infrastructure upgrades and a strong industrial base, while the Netherlands is expected to record the second fastest growth at a CAGR of 6.9%, helped by dense urban centers and port activity. By equipment type, truck-mounted loader cranes dominated in 2024 with a revenue share of 44.18%. Together these indicators show where demand for working-at-height safety, mobile lifting and compliant equipment is concentrating across the region.

Electrification and Competitive Strategy

Electrification of truck-mounted equipment creates growth opportunities. Leading vendors are making substantial strategic investments in electric and hybrid systems to comply with emissions standards, which creates a large revenue stream. Competitive strategy must also address supply chain disruptions and economic and geopolitical changes that affect component costs, while growth potential exists in Eastern Europe and developed markets demand innovation.

Recent launches show the direction of travel. In September 2025, Bonneux Machinery and Daimler Truck introduced the Bonneux Xanjer 6RZ73 concrete pump, with a reach of up to 73 meters, mounted on a seven-axle Mercedes-Benz Arocs 4553K. High initial investment and maintenance costs remain a challenge. For B2B stakeholders, aligning electric and hybrid systems, telematics systems and refurbishment strategies with regulatory and project demands will define positioning in the Europe truck-mounted lifting, handling & access equipment market.
