Wheeled Crane Market Forecast: What Value Will The Market Reach By 2030?
The wheeled crane market has shown strong expansion in recent years. It is anticipated to grow from $17.14 billion in 2025 to $18.3 billion in 2026, demonstrating a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.8%. This historical growth can be linked to the rise in construction activities, the broadening of road infrastructure, the demand for mobile lifting equipment, various industrial development projects, and prevailing urbanization trends.
The wheeled crane market size is anticipated to experience substantial growth over the next few years, with projections indicating it will reach $23.5 billion by 2030, expanding at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.5%. This growth throughout the forecast period is primarily driven by factors such as investment in smart infrastructure, a heightened demand for low emission lifting equipment, the burgeoning construction equipment rental market, the expansion of utility projects, and the increasing adoption of advanced crane control systems. Furthermore, significant trends expected during this period include a rising demand for mobile lifting solutions, their increasing deployment in infrastructure development projects, the growing embrace of hybrid and electric wheeled cranes, the expansion of crane rental services, and a clear preference for cranes offering fast setup and road mobility.

Wheeled Crane Market Growth Drivers: What’s Behind The Acceleration?
The expanding need for construction activities is anticipated to propel the growth of the wheeled crane market going forward. Construction activities encompass the processes involved in building, repairing, or altering structures such as buildings, roads, bridges, and other infrastructure. The increase in construction is largely due to urbanization, as growing population concentrations in cities necessitate higher demand for residential, commercial, and infrastructure development. Wheeled cranes support these activities by providing mobile and versatile lifting solutions, making them well-suited for urban sites and large-scale infrastructure projects. They contribute to improved overall project productivity by enabling heavy lifting and precise material placement, thereby reducing manual labor and enhancing efficiency. For instance, in April 2025, according to the United States Census Bureau, a US-based government agency, construction spending reached $2,194,752 million in 2024, marking an increase from $2,076,174 million in 2023. Consequently, the increasing demand for construction activities is a primary driver for the growth of the wheeled crane market.

Wheeled Crane Market Trends Redefining Industry Growth
Major companies within the wheeled crane market are prioritizing the development of advanced products, such as 6-axle cranes, with the aim of enhancing load capacity, improving maneuverability, and expanding operational efficiency across diverse construction and industrial applications. These 6-axle cranes are heavy-duty mobile lifting machines mounted on a chassis featuring six axles, engineered to provide elevated load capacity, stability, and mobility for large-scale lifting operations. Illustratively, in June 2024, Liebherr-International AG, a construction and lift equipment manufacturing company based in Germany, unveiled the LTM 1400-6.1, a powerful 6-axle crane. It incorporates a 70-meter telescopic boom, an innovative Y-guying system for increased lifting capacity, VarioBallast for an adjustable counterweight radius, VarioBase for versatile support positioning, and advanced driver assistance systems to boost operational safety. These systems assist operators with continuous monitoring, load management, and maneuvering, consequently reducing human error and improving job site efficiency.
