Hertz Equipment Rental Corp. has relocated its Williston, N.D., operations to a brand new facility that includes a 12,720-square-foot building on a 5-plus-acre lot. Located in Missouri Ridge Commercial Park, the full-service equipment rental branch caters to the oil fields of North Dakota and northeastern Montana, as well as the local commercial construction market.
The new Williston facility and its neighboring HERC branches in Dickinson and Bismarck, N.D., and Regina, Sask., Canada, deliver specialty equipment for producers, refineries and commercial construction. The company is also serving onsite with companies in the area.
“North Dakota and the surrounding region is experiencing record levels of oil and gas production, particularly due to the Bakken and Three Forks formations of the Williston Basin,” said Lois Boyd, group president, HERC. “As the Williston township is one of the prime hubs in the region, we have expanded our facilities and added new staff to meet the huge demand on our services. Oil, gas and construction companies are increasingly finding that equipment rental instead of ownership makes strong economic sense. In addition to offering state-of-the-art equipment, we provide highly specialized knowledge to bring financial value to our customers’ bottom line.”
The HERC Williston facility provides aerial, compaction, paving, earthmoving, heaters, power generators, forklifts and other material handling equipment. The location features a retail showroom and offers rentals and sales of small tools, equipment and safety supplies.
HERC, based in Park Ridge, N.J., has about 360 locations in the United States, Canada, China, France, Spain and Saudi Arabia. It is No. 3 on the RER 100.
