Direct peers

• Mateco: Mateco is a Dutch/European equipment rental company specializing in aerial work platforms, forklifts, and material handling equipment. Closely overlaps Van Ginkel's MEWP and forklift categories and serves the same B2B construction/industrial customer base in NL.
• Van der Spek: Van der Spek is a Dutch crane and heavy lifting equipment supplier and rental company. Directly comparable to Van Ginkel's crane (hijskraan) rental business with overlapping customer types in Dutch construction and industrial sectors.
• Hoogwerkt.nl: Hoogwerkt.nl is a Dutch online aerial work platform rental specialist with a quote-based booking model and nationwide delivery. Overlaps Van Ginkel's MEWP rental offering and similar go-to-market approach in the Netherlands.
• Riwal: Riwal is a leading European aerial work platform (hoogwerker) rental specialist operating across the Netherlands and beyond. Directly comparable to Van Ginkel's MEWP-heavy offering with a similarly broad fleet of scissor, articulating, telescopic, and specialty lifts.

Broad incumbents

• Konecranes: Konecranes is a global lifting equipment manufacturer and service provider, including lifting equipment rental and maintenance. Adjacent/incumbent in the lifting and crane category where Van Ginkel operates.
• Boels Rental: Boels is the largest equipment rental company in the Netherlands and Europe, offering cranes, aerial work platforms, forklifts, and construction equipment for rent and sale. Directly comparable product mix to Van Ginkel but at vastly greater scale and geographic reach.

Regional players

• Hendrikse Verhuur: Hendrikse Verhuur is a Netherlands-based construction equipment rental provider offering cranes, aerial work platforms, and forklifts. Comparable mid-sized independent competitor focused on the Dutch market.

Others

• Manitou: Manitou is a leading OEM of telehandlers, aerial work platforms, and forklifts — Van Ginkel visibly carries Manitou-branded equipment (e.g., Manitou MRT 3060). A key supplier/partner rather than direct competitor, but comparable in product category and customer base.

Emerging players

• Hoeflon: Hoeflon is a Dutch manufacturer of compact crawler cranes and mini cranes (including the C30 electric model carried by Van Ginkel). Adjacent as an OEM supplier, but comparable as a niche specialist in compact/electric lifting equipment.
