Market Analysis and Forecast: Loading & Haulage Equipment
The global market for the largest excavating/loading and haulage equipment has been anything but dull and predictable over the past decade. And it’s likely to take some unexpected turns in the years ahead. In an effort to provide some guidance on what to expect, Parker Bay has analyzed the mineral markets driving demand for these machines, along with the internal dynamics of the machinery markets themselves, and presented our findings in a 70 page report. Available to both subscribers to Parker Bay’s Mobile Mining Equipment Database and non-subscribers, this report includes both a detailed written report and an interactive data file that permits buyers to examine and modify many of the underlying drivers of the forecast to see what impact different assumptions might have on shipments and machine population over the next five years.

Underground Mining Equipment Database
Parker Bay has partnered with Raw Materials Group of Sweden (www.rmg.se) to develop a database of underground mining equipment to be available in 2012. This will be the first known source for such data, developed jointly by two companies with a wealth of expertise in mining market research, data and analysis.
Report on Cat/Bucyrus Merger
Parker Bay is developing a report regarding the recently announced merger between Caterpillar and Bucyrus. This study will examine the equipment populations of both companies, their combined share by market and product, and the position of this new entity in the competitive landscape. We will take a closer look at the creation of a one-stop shop for loading and haulage equipment and whether this offers a true strategic advantage in meeting the needs of mining companies.
