United Rentals, Inc. is a Stamford, Connecticut-based equipment rental company operating across the United States, Canada, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand through two segments: General Rentals and Specialty. The General Rentals segment provides construction and industrial equipment, aerial work platforms, and small tools to a broad customer base including contractors, manufacturers, utilities, municipalities, and government entities. The Specialty segment focuses on niche rentals such as trench safety gear, power and HVAC equipment, fluid solutions, surface protection mats, and mobile storage and modular office space for infrastructure projects and industrial clients.
In addition to rentals, the company sells new and used equipment, consumables, tools, and replacement parts, and provides repair and maintenance services through its sales force, brokers, website, and auctions. As a large-cap industrial in the Trading Companies & Distributors sub-industry, United Rentals benefits from the asset-rental business model, which generates recurring revenue while shifting much of the equipment utilization and resale risk to the operator. Founded in 1997, the company has grown into one of the largest equipment rental networks in North America, serving customers in construction, infrastructure, and industrial end markets.
- Non-residential construction spending fuels General Rentals demand
- Used equipment pricing and fleet utilization expand margins
- Infrastructure bill funding accelerates Specialty segment growth
