Reflecting on an incredible ARA Show in Las Vegas

Posted by Jayme Sauer on Mar 1, 2025 11:30:00 AM

The ARA Show in Las Vegas has once again proven why it’s one of the premier events for rental professionals and industry leaders. This year's event was exciting, from the electrifying energy on the show floor to the insightful conversations with partners. We were thrilled to be part of the Sinoboom booth and this dynamic gathering. We are excited to share highlights and key takeaways.

This year's ARA Show attracted thousands of attendees from the rental industry, turning Las Vegas into a hub of innovation, networking, and.market development. The event showcased the latest equipment, and technology, offering many opportunities to collaborate and connect with our partners

Key Takeaways

After three action-packed days, it’s clear that the rental industry is continuously evolving, and staying ahead of trends is more important than ever. Here are some insights we gathered from the event:

Trend towards user-friendly maintenance-free solutions: Original equipment manufacturers like the reliability and ease of use of maintenance-free technologies like AGM, and Lithium. 

Flooded Batteries are demanding: They create more challenges, lead to more call -outs for rental companies, and require extra maintenance.

Lithium’s Potential: There was much talk about Lithium, but the upfront cost, counter weight challenges are being heavily considered by OEMs and rental companies.  

Distribution and Support Challenges: The world is big, and it’s hard to find the right support in every geography.

Taxes, Tariffs and Uncertainty: Most OEMs are either searching for or already making machines outside of China They need energy storage solutions that are also produced outside China for the USA market. It's even better if these solutions are made in North America.

Looking Ahead

The ARA Show 2025 left us feeling energized and inspired to keep delivering value to our customers and partners. The MEWP community is close-knit, and we want to thank our partners and customers for speaking with us and sharing their views on the MEWP industry and their future.

We're excited to offer maintenance-free Dry Cell AGM, and Lithium options to our customers and use their feedback to guide our future product development.
