Industry research and fleet utilization studies generally show that construction equipment sits idle between 35% and 55% of the time, depending on the type of machinery and company size.
Here’s a quick breakdown from credible sources and fleet management data:
- Telematics data (Caterpillar, Komatsu, and Trimble) often cite 40–50% idle time for heavy equipment like excavators, loaders, and dozers.
- Smaller contractors tend to see higher idle rates (up to 60%) due to inconsistent project scheduling or limited transport/logistics capacity.
- Larger fleets with centralized scheduling or rentals typically average 30–40% idle time.
