HKL perform a prospective on the rental of machinery in 2008

The company HKL Baumaschinen Spain carried out a prospective study on the market of the machinery for rent in Spain during the year 2008. According to his predictions, the construction and public works sector is going to move in a dynamic of uncertainties and the rent of the equipment is going to become a more competitive choice. Estimated Gerhard Schaub, Manager of HKL Bausmaschinen Spain: "the concept of rent in Spain is for manufacturers a new form of distribution to better reach the end user and satisfy all your needs." In the background, has become a trend, fostered by the increase in companies increasingly prepared alquiladoras and a strong tendency of concentration. On the other hand, the sector is growing in competitiveness and specialization. "The advantage of minimizing the cyclical risks of construction has generated a reflection to the change of mentality and helps the spread of the culture of rent at all levels."

From HKL commented that with respect to the rental to the public works, where the increase in resources and budgets, thanks largely to the stock of projects arising from the existing schedules and even exceeding the targets, can expect a growth similar to the growth in recent years. Also, the company thinks that you should assume the very limited presence of specific rentals in this context of the market of machinery in Spain. The limited number of companies alquiladoras specialized in this field oblige a gradual dissemination, probably very different from the "traditional" rent known since many years. For the company, the market for rent in Spain enjoys a good situation. In traditional sectors, where years ago this service is deeply rooted and more and more can be seen in other different segments of the construction. But also the use in industrial sectors and agriculture increases more and more with interesting perspectives.

In words of HKL, the exploration of other sectors as the industrial or agriculture in the broad sense are fields where is beginning to hear more and more to the concept of rental. They are more focused less cyclical activities to maintenance and recycling, continuous and sustained demand in the long term. For this reason, manufacturers or distributors have begun to become authentic alquiladores or in other cases have established close alliances with large alquiladores independent operating at national or international level. Before possible economic cooling times, the advantage of the activity of rent insists on win a share of the cake on the market of machinery, that Yes, at cost of someone who gives his part unwittingly.

The Ministry of public works plans to invest in 2008 by direct management 5.434,41 million euros, exceeding by 4.1 per cent the amount of last year. Companies under the Ministry will increase its funding for investments by 11 percent to reach 9.613,65 million euros.
