The infrastructure improvement projects in rural areas of Spain, such as the refurbishment of commercial buildings, railway stations, and airports, the repair of runways, and the extension of roadways and bridges, are fuelling the strong demand for the Spain construction equipment rental industry. The rental business is experiencing increased demand as a result of rising equipment costs, increased economic insecurity, a cash crisis, technical advancements, and major infrastructural construction. Contractors prefer to hire construction equipment to control project costs, which have risen due to increases in labour and raw material prices. Rental companies are heavily investing in technologically innovative and environmentally friendly construction equipment in order to expand their fleet sizes and successfully meet their clients' increasing expectations.
