Description: URI United Rentals December 02, 2025
United Rentals, Inc. (NYSE: URI) operates two primary segments: General Rentals, which provides a broad inventory of construction and industrial equipment such as backhoes, forklifts, aerial work platforms, and power tools; and Specialty Rentals, which focuses on niche assets like trench safety systems, HVAC generators, fluid-handling solutions, and modular office space, while also offering related sales, parts, and maintenance services. The company’s footprint spans the United States, Canada, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand, and it monetizes its used-equipment inventory through a multi-channel sales network.
Key operational metrics (FY 2023) include approximately 650,000 units in the rental fleet, an average utilization rate near 85 %, and total revenue of $9.8 billion with an adjusted EBITDA margin of roughly 12 %. The business is highly sensitive to macro-level construction spending and infrastructure investment cycles, which are currently being driven by federal stimulus programs and a tightening labor market that elevates equipment demand. Additionally, rising interest rates can suppress capital-expenditure budgets, potentially shifting more firms toward rental models to preserve cash.
