The North American Construction Equipment Landscape
The United States has historically been home to some of the most influential construction equipment manufacturers in the world.
Caterpillar remains the industry’s most prominent American manufacturer, while John Deere, CASE Construction Equipment, New Holland Construction, Bobcat, JLG and Terex have also established strong positions across different equipment categories.
Rhino Equipment adds another North American brand to this competitive landscape.
Rather than competing exclusively within a single equipment category, Rhino is developing a diversified portfolio intended to serve multiple segments of the construction and heavy equipment market.
Construction Equipment Is Becoming Increasingly Global
Today’s equipment manufacturers operate in an increasingly international environment.
Manufacturing, engineering, component sourcing, distribution and customer support can span multiple continents, while customers expect equipment brands to provide global parts availability, technical support and product solutions.
Rhino Equipment’s international manufacturing and distribution platform reflects this changing environment.
The company’s global network provides access to Rhino Equipment® equipment across markets in North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia, Africa and other regions.
Building the Next Generation of Equipment Brands
The global construction equipment industry continues to evolve as established manufacturers compete alongside emerging brands offering new combinations of technology, value, product availability and customer support.
Rhino Equipment is positioning itself as part of this next generation of globally oriented construction equipment brands.
With continued investment in new products and mining and construction equipment, the company is expanding the scope of the Rhino® brand internationally.
