Sun Equipment Expands to Meet Houston’s Construction Needs
New division offers affordable, high-quality equipment amidst rising prices
Houston, Texas – In an exciting development for the local business landscape, Sun Equipment has launched a new Used Construction Equipment division to cater to the growing demand for affordable and reliable construction machinery in the greater Houston metropolitan area. This strategic expansion builds on the company’s established success in the used forklift market while addressing a nationwide surge in equipment prices.
The newly inaugurated division boasts an extensive inventory of used construction equipment, including excavators, loaders, skid steers, telehandlers, scissor lifts, and bulldozers, alongside the company’s prominent line of used forklifts. Quality remains a top priority, as all machinery is subject to rigorous inspection and quality assurance processes before being made available for sale.
Market Demand Fuels Expansion
Mike Hoskins, President of Sun Equipment, noted that the Houston construction and industrial sectors are currently experiencing remarkable growth, prompting more companies to consider the used equipment market as a financially wise strategy. As the prices of new machinery have escalated significantly in recent years, businesses big and small are discovering that quality used equipment can deliver exceptional value without sacrificing performance or reliability.
Industry Trends and Growth Potential
The timing of this expansion is critical for the Houston market. Recent reports indicate that prices for large earthmoving equipment—including excavators, bulldozers, and motor graders—have increased by 16-20%. Similarly, aerial equipment prices have risen significantly as well. The used construction equipment market is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 5.8% through 2030, driven predominantly by cost considerations and the mounting financial pressures faced by construction firms.
Serving Houston’s Diverse Economic Landscape
Houston’s diverse economy—encompassing sectors such as energy, healthcare, manufacturing, aerospace, and logistics—creates a unique set of equipment demands across multiple industries. Sun Equipment is strategically positioned to meet these needs, providing specialized equipment for construction, industrial, warehousing, and material handling applications.
Quality and Customer Support
Sun Equipment’s used forklift inventory remains a foundational offering, featuring top brands including Toyota, Caterpillar, Hyster, Yale, Crown, Komatsu, Clark, and Mitsubishi. The available models include a variety of forklifts suited for different environments, from small warehouse units to heavy-duty industrial models.
To further differentiate itself from competitors, Sun Equipment offers robust customer support services. These include nationwide delivery with competitive freight quotes, trade-in programs that provide fair market value for existing equipment, flexible financing options for qualified buyers, expert consultation to match equipment to specific application needs, and comprehensive after-sales service and support.
Emphasizing Sustainability
The initiation of this division aligns with Sun Equipment’s commitment to sustainability. By extending the useful life of quality machinery, the company minimizes waste and reduces the carbon footprint associated with manufacturing new equipment, thereby promoting circular-economy principles.
Conclusion and Community Impact
With its strategic location in Houston—a global trading hub underscored by the Port of Houston, one of the nation’s largest ports—Sun Equipment’s expansion is well-timed to meet the sustained demand for both material handling and construction equipment. The company’s efforts not only support local industry but also foster job creation and economic resilience.
