United Rentals has grown its fleet and footprint in Australia with the acquisition of an access equipment specialist
Global equipment hire company United Rentals has announced it has acquired Australian aerial rental supplier Alfasi Hire.
The acquisition expands United Rentals’ general rental business providing customers with greater access to an extensive range of elevated work platforms (EWP) – including scissor, spider and boom lifts – telehandlers, and forklifts.
United Rentals Australia and New Zealand regional vice president Neil Littlewood says a company like Alfasi Hire is key to United Rentals’ commitment to providing a one stop shop for customers’ rental requirements across Australia.
“Alfasi is a highly respected business and has built strong relationships with its customers over 40 years,” Littlewood says.
“With a focus on servicing the construction and mining industries, its modern, state of the art machinery and highly experienced team has made them an industry leader.
“Bringing the Alfasi team together with the resources and expertise United Rentals have as a global leader in the hire sector enables us to provide customers with increased support and access to a growing range of products and services.”
The announcement follows United Rentals’ acquisition of Royal Wolf in 2021, as well as Shore Hire and Orange Hire in 2024.
Littlewood says Alfasi Hire’s company values align with United Rentals’ commitment to providing great service, quality equipment, telematics, and innovative solutions for its customers.
“As United Rentals continues to enhance its capability across the country, customers can expect the same industry-leading standards that have made the company the largest equipment rental provider in the world,” he says.
