Discussion:
United Rentals to sell Doosan

I have a friend that works for United Rentals and he told me that they can now sell Doosan lift trucks. I have been working for a local material handling company for 16 years. We picked up Doosan in the early 90's. My friend went on to tell me that he can get a 5000# pnuematic, ss, 186 tsu, dual fuel, strobe light, and b/u alarm for $17,500.00 his cost. That is a few thousand less that I can get them for. Does anyone know if there is any truth to this??

Thanks

If United has them in the fleet, I would say with their buying power it would be pretty close. I was with NationsRent and that was our cost on the Mitsubishi.

That would surprise me since United Rentals is partnered with Komatsu not Doosan. RSC is the big rental company partnered with Doosan.
