United Rentals, Inc. (NYSE: URI) is the worlds largest equipment rental company, operating across the United States, Canada, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. Founded in 1997 and headquartered in Stamford, Connecticut, the company is classified within the Industrials sector under the Trading Companies & Distributors sub-industry. Its business model is asset-heavy: United Rentals purchases and maintains a large fleet of construction, industrial, and specialty equipment, then rents it to customers on a short- or long-term basis, allowing end users to avoid the capital outlay, storage, and maintenance burden associated with equipment ownership.
The company reports its operations through two main segments. The General Rentals segment provides aerial work platforms, backhoes, skid-steer loaders, forklifts, earthmoving and material handling equipment, and a broad range of general tools and light equipment to construction and industrial firms, manufacturers, utilities, municipalities, homeowners, and government entities. The Specialty segment serves more complex infrastructure and industrial needs with trench safety equipment, power and HVAC solutions (including portable diesel generators and temperature control equipment), fluid containment and treatment systems, ground protection mats, mobile storage units, and modular office space.
In addition to its core rental operations, United Rentals generates ancillary revenue by selling new and used aerial lifts, reach forklifts, telehandlers, compressors, and generators, along with construction consumables, tools, safety supplies, and replacement parts. It also provides repair and maintenance services for customer-owned equipment and disposes of used assets through its sales force, brokers, its website, auctions, and direct sales to manufacturers-remarketing being a meaningful secondary revenue stream typical of the rental industry.
