Haulotte equipment sales up 9%: fleet planning signals for contractors and hirers
Reviewed by Tom Sullivan

30 Second Briefing
Equipment manufacturer Haulotte reported first-half equipment sales up 9% to €234 million, driven by demand for its mobile elevating work platforms and telehandlers. Total revenue rose 5% to €276 million, as rental income dropped from €12 million to €8 million and service revenue slipped from €37 million to €34 million. For contractors and plant hirers, the figures signal continued fleet investment in access equipment despite weaker rental and after-sales activity.
Technical Brief
- Haulotte’s non-equipment activities (rental plus services) totalled €42m in the half-year period.
- Services accounted for €34m of that, roughly 81% of non-equipment turnover.
- Rental activities contributed €8m, around 19% of Haulotte’s non-equipment revenue stream.
- Overall group turnover of €276m implies equipment now generates about 85% of total revenue.
- Non-equipment revenue therefore represents roughly 15% of Haulotte’s business mix in H1.
Our Take
The recent moves by Haulotte to double its global MEWP spare‑parts warranty (coverage 2 July 2026) suggest a push to lock in aftermarket loyalty, which could help stabilise services revenue after the dip indicated in the current figures.
Partnerships with Ukrainian Unmanned Technologies on the RAVLYK logistics platform and with Builder Assist on robotic MEWP arms show Haulotte positioning its equipment line towards automation and defence-adjacent applications, which may underpin equipment sales even if rental and services remain under pressure.
Within our 923 Infrastructure stories, Haulotte appears more frequently in product and automation contexts than pure project delivery, signalling that its revenue mix will likely stay skewed to equipment and technology rather than long-term rental or service contracts.
