The U.S. Mobile Crane Market: Growth and Risk Insights

The U.S. mobile crane market is on a solid growth trajectory and is projected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 6.7% between 2024 and 2028. As specialists in mobile crane insurance, New Heights Insurance understands the unique risks and opportunities this growth presents to crane operators and contractors.

What’s Driving the Market?

Significant investments in U.S. infrastructure are fueling the demand for mobile cranes. Cranes are essential tools in modern construction, from highways and bridges to renewable energy projects. The construction sector remains the largest user of mobile cranes, driven by ongoing urban development and infrastructure projects.

The utility sector, particularly in renewable energy, also plays a key role. Mobile cranes are critical in installing and maintaining wind turbines and solar farms and constructing power lines and other energy infrastructure.

Technological Advancements and Their Impact

Advances in crane technology, including automation and telematics, are making cranes safer and more efficient. However, these innovations also introduce new risks, from cybersecurity threats to the need for specialized operator training. At New Heights Insurance, we stay ahead of these trends to protect our clients against emerging risks.

Understanding the Risks

As the market grows, so does the complexity of the risks involved. The increasing size and height of construction projects mean crane operations are becoming more challenging, heightening the potential for accidents and making comprehensive insurance coverage more critical than ever.

Additionally, the evolving regulatory landscape, particularly around safety standards and environmental impact, requires crane operators to stay vigilant. Fines, legal fees, and project delays can significantly impact your bottom line if not properly managed.
