Did you make it to the 2026 ARA tradeshow? If not, here\u2019s a recap to catch you up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Mood \u2013 Guarded, But Good<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

According to what our team heard & saw, the rental industry is cautiously optimistic. Interest rates are dropping, allowing for more purchasing flexibility. But the economy\u2019s facing a lot of major events happening at the same time, which always brings a little uncertainty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That said, the show had good foot traffic, with people ready to buy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Booth \u2013 Over 200 Booth Visitors<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Our booth saw plenty of activity! We were able to count over 200 visitors over the course of the show. We even welcomed back a few current clients, who came to buy some new Heli models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visitors liked \u201cThe Do-It-All\u201d \u2013 the Heli CPQYD25-KU1H solid pneumatic tire. Its versatility & price competitiveness with other brands brought it some (well deserved) attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Industrial<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Several visitors asked us about service for Heli forklifts. Makes sense of course\u2014you want to get the most life out of your equipment for as long as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
