Founded in 1997 by Bradley S. Jacobs and seven others, United Rentals, Inc. is the largest equipment rental company in the world, with over 850 rental locations throughout the United States and Canada. Their diverse customer base includes construction and industrial companies, utilities, municipalities, and homeowners. In addition to equipment rentals, the company offers new and used equipment sales, safety training, and 24/7 equipment service support. United Rentals is headed up by Michael J. Kneeland and William B. Plummer. Total annual revenue in 2008 was $3.3 billion, including $2.5 billion in equipment rental revenue. United Rentals also holds about a 13 percent share of construction and industrial equipment rentals in North America.

The company has four main divisions: General Rentals, Aerial, Power & HVAC, and Trench Safety. While the general rental branches are the most prolific and yielding for the company, the other divisions are increasingly a larger portion of United's revenue. Wikipedia [ - ]
