Sunbelt Rentals last week announced the opening of its newest full-service rental branch in Upper Marlboro, Md., a central location that also now includes Sunbelt’s Baltimore/Washington scaffolding branch.

The new rental branch offers more than $7 million in rental inventory and the facility covers seven acres, with 16,000 square feet under one roof. The location provides convenient access to the Washington, D.C., market and the major construction on the nearby Woodrow Wilson Bridge.

“Our new branch is a great example of one company — Sunbelt — serving all our customers’ equipment needs,” said Mark Ellis, regional vice president for Sunbelt Rentals. “With both general rental and scaffolding now in one convenient location, our contractor customers will always experience an easy rental transaction and quality Sunbelt service, no matter what type of project they’re working on.”

Branch managers Dave Trott and Frank O’Malley each have more than 10 years of industry experience, and are leading a team of more than 50 employees to serve their large market.

Sunbelt officials announced it soon will open a startup location in Countryside, Ill., a Chicago suburb. Based in Charlotte, N.C., Sunbelt Rentals, a wholly owned subsidiary of Ashtead Group plc, is No. 4 on the RER 100.
