Business Wire
United Rentals, Inc. (NYSE: URI) today announced the launch of a
used equipment portal that offers thousands of quality items for
sale from the world’s leading equipment rental fleet. The range of
construction and industrial listings in more than 40 categories
makes www.unitedrentals.com/usedsales one of the largest sources of
pre-owned rental equipment sold direct by owner.
Michael Kneeland, chief executive officer of United Rentals,
said, “By creating a secure channel for a large volume of online
inventory, we have taken the uncertainty out of remote equipment
purchases. Buyers have confidence in United Rentals. Our used
equipment is an excellent option for anyone who wants to own a
reliable, productive machine without the cost of purchasing it
new.”
The new portal uses an e-commerce platform that is convenient
and easy to access worldwide. All items are value-priced, with
hundreds of deeper discounts located in a Special Values section.
Listings are refreshed in real-time, and are searchable by
category, keyword, model year, manufacturer and location. Shoppers
can download images, specs, prices and contact information by
converting a search into a product sheet with one click.
As an incentive to try the new site, United Rentals is offering
six months of free United Guard warranty coverage with every online
equipment purchase through March 31, 2010. United Guard provides
free equipment inspections and service, covering the cost of labor
and parts for most repairs.
The portal at www.unitedrentals.com/usedsales is open to buyers
worldwide, with delivery and financing available in the United
States and Canada.
