Used Construction Equipment: U.S. Construction Equipment Industry Lobbies for Government Spending on Transportation Infrastructure

Used Construction Equipment: MSloane Consulting is monitoring the construction equipment industry in the U.S. which has been lobbying hard in the past few weeks to push for the Obama administration's support to a bill that would double federal spending on transportation infrastructure over the next six years. MSloane Consulting provides valuation, procurement, acquisition, marketing, disposition and logistics services on used construction equipment for sale.

The country's transportation network is in dire need of massive investment. The American Society of Civil Engineers gave U.S. infrastructure an overall grade of "D" in its report. It estimated the country needed to spend $2.2 trillion -- almost 10 times what was spent over the last six years -- just to bring things up to "good condition."
