new machine supply & orders for 2022

Our industry is not alone in suffering a shortage of new products.

All our market leading brands, including Kubota, Manitou, Bomag and Ausa, are regularly delivering new products to us. However, the vast majority of machines which arrive in our yard are already sold.

We have little or no 'free-stock'!

There are a number of reasons for this:

• The COVID pandemic has disrupted supply chains worldwide, and ours is a global business. There is a general shortage of raw materials and the specialist components, which our manufacturers rely on, hydraulic components for example.
• COVID has also impacted on employees and their families leading to a shortage of key workers at home and abroad. HGV drivers being a case in point.
• Demand for construction in equipment is high in all developed markets not least in the UK. The CEA, the manufacturer's association issued the following report.
• "Retail sales of construction and earthmoving equipment showed further strong growth in June and were 75% ahead of the levels seen in the same month last year when sales were still recovering from the impact of the first lockdown. As a result, sales in Q2 were more than double the levels seen last year and reached over 10,000 units during the quarter. For the first half of the year, sales were over 18,000 units, and are 73% ahead of the levels seen in the first half of last year."
