How CONEXPO 2026 Will Affect Used Skid Steer & CTL Prices in Canada

March 2026 28,803 records analyzed 7,981 Canadian listings
Key finding: Used CTL prices have bottomed and are stabilizing. CONEXPO is not the price mover. The real forces are tariff-inflated new machine costs, a weak Canadian dollar, and shrinking used inventory.

The Tariff Factor

Nearly every SSL and CTL sold in Canada is manufactured in the United States. At current exchange rates (1 USD = 1.37 CAD), a used Alberta CTL costs less than half of a new import with tariffs.
