Troy Dodd, a veteran of more than three decades of equipment rental experience, has been hired as director of product support at Acme Lift Co., the world’s largest wholesale rental company. Acme Lift specializes in the largest aerial work platforms and telehandlers.
Dodd will be based in Little Rock, Ark., where he will work with Jeff Heep, Acme Lift vice president of service and maintenance, to expand Acme Lift’s service reach. Dodd spent the past four years as central region manager for BlueLine Rental, formerly Volvo Rents. From 2003 to 2011, Dodd was president and owner of Arkansas Rental Sales & Service Co., a Volvo Rents franchise in Mabelvale and Pine Bluff, Ark.
“Troy has an exemplary background in the rental industry, ranging from management to ownership,” said Mike Crouch, president and chief operating officer of Acme Lift. “That experience, coupled with putting customers first when it comes to service and offering the best solutions for their rental needs, makes him a perfect fit here at Acme Lift.”
Dodd also worked as service manager for U.S. Rentals in Little Rock from 1994 to 1998. When U.S. Rentals merged with United Rentals in 1998, Dodd worked in outside sales in Little Rock until 2003. He originally began his equipment rental career in Shreveport, La., as service manager for Shreveport Rentals from 1983 to 1989. He was service manager for Prime Equipment in Garland, Texas, from 1989 to 1994.
Acme Lift, based in Mesa, Ariz., has a large inventory of boomlifts up to 185 feet and telehandlers from 8,000- to 40,000-pound, available for re-rent at daily, weekly and monthly rates.
