We seem to be reading more and more about equipment rental these days and this week's newsletter is no different. We include coverage of United Rentals' good start to the year, expansion at Admar Supply Co and STILL's rising proportion of sales into the rental fleet.
When times were tough, many chose to hire instead of buy and it's clear that the use of rental equipment has become a viable alternative and will continue to remain the first choice for many end-users.
