Construction Equipment and Supplies

Q: What is the economic life of construction equipment?

This varies depending on how often the equipment is used by its owner, but generally, construction equipment can last anywhere between 10,000-20,000 hours if it’s high quality. Lower quality equipment generally does not last for a very long time regardless of how often they are used.
