United Rentals Launches Online Portal for Used Equipment Sales (Plus New Six Month Warranty Incentive!)

Rental companies are great places to find clever equipment deals. Step on the lot and you can try the newest and coolest units. First experiment with a rental – perhaps the newest line of skid steer on the market – and if you like and need it full time perhaps you can discover a used one on the same lot. United Rentals, the largest equipment rental company in the world, just announced the launch of a used equipment portal that offers thousands of quality items for sale right on your computer screen.

The range of construction and industrial listings in more than 40 categories makes www.unitedrentals.com/usedsales <https://www.unitedrentals.com/usedsales> one of the largest sources of pre-owned rental equipment sold direct by owner.

“By creating a secure channel for a large volume of online inventory, we have taken the uncertainty out of remote equipment purchases,” says Michael Kneeland, CEO of United Rentals. “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.
