Hertz Equipment Rental Corp. has opened a heavy industry equipment rental facility in Joplin, Mo. The new branch serves the construction and commercial markets in the four-state area where Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma meet. The facility will provide aerial, compaction, paving and earthmoving equipment, heaters, power generators, forklifts and other material handling equipment and safety supplies.
“Hertz equipment Rental set up temporary facilities in Joplin two years ago as an extension of our Springfield, Mo., operations to support the city’s ongoing redevelopment efforts following the devastating tornado of May 2011,” said Brian MacDonald, interim CEO of Hertz. “We have provided the rental of heavy industrial equipment to assist with the rebuilding of many business facilities and houses. We are honored to open a permanent location in Joplin to continue serving the community’s rebuilding initiatives as well as provide support to the surrounding areas in Oklahoma, Kansas and Arkansas. The new Joplin branch also joins a network of neighboring Hertz Equipment Rental operations including Springfield, Missouri, and Springdale, Arkansas.”
Based in Naples, Fla., Hertz Equipment Rental Corp. is No. 3 on the RER 100.
