The world's biggest equipment rental company, United Rentals, is about to become even bigger with its acquisition of Ahern Rentals.
This is just the latest in a string of rental acquisitions this year, prompted by rising demand for equipment at a time when supply lines are tight and purchase prices are rising.
United says the deal was motivated by a desire to expand its US footprint - and Ahern's 106 locations will certainly help. But the acquisition will also increase efficiency and cost-savings - and, of course, assist United in its negotiations with suppliers.
And speaking of mergers and acquisitions, readers might have spotted an error in last week's Inside Forkliftaction message, when we referred to the Cargotec/Kalmar deal. Of course, that should have been the abandoned Cargotec/Konecranes merger!

The team at Carolina Handling wanted a unique project that was grand enough to get the attention of those outside the materials handling industry, while also honouring the service of their veteran associates. Cue the Patriotic Pallet Project, a 50x50-pallet painting of Lady Liberty.

FACT OF THE WEEK
John Lennon had terrible eyesight and was very self-conscious about it. Early in his career, he would not wear his glasses during performances. In the end, John's 'granny glasses' became one of his most iconic trademarks. His last pair, worn on that tragic day in 1980, are kept at 'The Beatles Story' exhibit in Liverpool, insured for over £1 million.
