Greenwich, Conn.-based United Rentals last week announced the opening of its newest general rentals branch in Corpus Christi, Texas, and its newest traffic control equipment rental branch in Kansas City, Kan.
The Corpus Christi facility will provide customers with equipment rentals, new and used equipment sales, repair and maintenance services, and a comprehensive line of contractor supplies.
"The public and private sectors are investing nearly $5 billion to develop the city of Corpus Christi, including construction of a new airport terminal, renovated convention center and expanded facilities at Texas A&M University," said Sam Orta, branch manager for United Rentals. "Many of our customers are participating in this explosive growth. Our new branch is ideally situated to service construction and industrial needs throughout the metro area."
The branch carries a broad range of equipment for commercial and industrial construction, renovation and maintenance, including the latest technologies in aerial work platforms.
The 24,000 sq. ft. Kansas City, Kan., facility, will provide customers with equipment rentals, sales of new and used equipment, contractor supplies, and traffic control services.
"Kansas City is committed to driving economic development and capital investment," said Mike Solomon, district manager for United Rentals. "Commercial construction is booming around the Kansas Speedway, and a downtown revitalization is in progress. We are meeting the traffic control needs of our customers in all these areas."
The new location rents barricades, cones, crash attenuators and other traffic control equipment, installs temporary and permanent signage, and provides pavement-marking services. United Rentals also offers equipment delivery, certified safety and professional operator training, and 24-hour emergency response for customers.
