The number of cranes in North America's major cities increased 4.74% from Q3 2021 to Q1 2022, recovering from the identical decrease from the previous Rider Levett Bucknall crane index report.
A measure of construction health, RLB's index counted five cities with an increase in the number of cranes, six that held steady and three that saw "significant" decreases — dropping by more than 20%.
North American cities added 22 cranes in Q1 2022, more than half of which were in the commercial sector.
