The locations - eight in the USA and two in Canada - comprise pump, tool hire, power, HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) and trench safety businesses.

“The role of our speciality rental network continues to grow in importance within our companywide strategy for growth and profitability,” said Paul McDonnell, senior vice president.
