1,300 units is the estimate by Power Systems Research of the number of Golf Cars expected to be produced in North America during 2026.
Dumpers/Tenders are vehicles designed for carrying bulk material, often on building sites. Dumpers are distinguished from dump trucks by configuration: a dumper is usually an open 4-wheeled vehicle with the load skip in front of the driver, while a dump truck has its cab in front of the load.
This product information comes from industry interviews and from two proprietary databases maintained by Power Systems Research: EnginLink™ , which provides information on engines, and OE Link™, a database of equipment manufacturers.
Market Share. With 50% of total units produced, Country Home Products leads in production of Dumpers/Tenders in North America. In second position is Allen Engineering with 24%; third, Power Buggy (Indy) 13%.
Export. 15% worldwide.
Trends. In 2025, production of Dumpers/Tenders in NA increased 6.4%. Expect production to gain 10% in 2026 over 2025. The 2024 decline was due to saturation in the marketplace along with longevity of products in the field. Also, utility style models are versatile and are extremely popular with homeowners.
Dumper/Tenders are sought after pieces of equipment, much faster than a conventional wheelbarrow and they accelerate job site activities. Expect production to increase an additional 5% by 2035. PSR
