Stable growth for Haulotte despite economic headwinds

Haulotte has reported stable revenues in the third quarter of its 2026 financial year, with the global aerial work platform market ‘maintaining the positive momentum observed since the beginning of the year’, said the company.

This Haullote added was against a complex economic and geopolitical environment that has led customers to adopt a wait-and-see approach when it comes to equipment investment and continues to affect international trade.

The company achieved turnover of €121 million in the three month period, which it said was stable compared with the same period last year.

For the nine months ending September 2026, consolidated sales reached €398 million compared to €384 million last year, representing an increase of 4%.

In line with the first half of 2026, the European region continued to deliver growth, with revenue up 16% year to date.

In Asia-Pacific, revenue over the nine months remained 18% below the same period in 2025, with activity still affected by the conflict in the Middle East.

In North America, 2026 third-quarter activity was in line with the same period last year, bringing revenue growth to +1% at the end of September.

In a market environment that remains less favourable than in other regions, Latin America recorded a 25% decline over the period, commented the company.

Breaking the revenue down by divisions, equipment sales had grown by 7% at the end of September , while rental and services activities decreased by 19% and 3% respectively.

“Despite limited visibility and a still uncertain global environment,” commented Haulotte, the company “should be able to achieve sales growth of at least 5% in 2026, enabling the Group to return to positive current operating margin close to the level reported in the first half of 2026.”
