United Rentals Expands Specialty Segment

United Rentals is expanding its specialty segment, which includes Trench Safety, Power and HVAC, and Pump Solutions. The company opened five specialty cold-start locations and made acquisitions to grow this higher-margin business.

“We're well into the expansion of our specialty segment, most notably the acquisition and integration of National Pump in the second quarter. Our pump customers now have access to our full range of fleet, and we'll expand our cross-selling of pump assets to our broader customer base. In addition, we opened five specialty cold-starts in Trench Safety, Power and HVAC and Tools, and acquired the four-location Blue-Stream Power and HVAC business in May.”
