McElroy, providers of pipe fusion technology, recently introduced the new Certified McElroy Rental program. The program is a partnership between McElroy and participating distributors to supply customers with reliable fusion machine rentals.

Participating distributors will use a comprehensive checklist created by McElroy to check machines after each rental. By participating in the program, distributors have pledged to provide greater continuous care of McElroy rental machines, creating a premium rental option in the marketplace. If a repair is needed, participating distribu­tors are committed to using genuine McElroy parts installed by factory-trained mechanics.

“We believe the Certified McElroy Rental program answers a need in the market,” said Chip McElroy, president of McElroy. “Our customers have options. They can buy a new machine, buy a used machine or rent. We want all of these experiences with McElroy to be great for the customer. It was important for us to create a McElroy rental experience that offers superior security and reliability.”

A new website at www.certifiedmcelroy.com allows contrac­tors and pipeliners interested in a premium rental to search by state or province to locate McElroy distributors that carry Certified McElroy Rental machines. All designated rental machines have a sticker on the fusion unit that designate it as part of the program.

Pipe fusion joins two pieces of thermoplastic pipe together with heat and pressure.

McElroy Manufacturing is headquartered in Tulsa, Okla.
