ARA Launches Rental App

The online rental store locator RentalHQ.com is now available as a mobile app.

The app, developed by the American Rental Association (ARA), features search functions with fields for equipment type and location. Searches deliver a list of local ARA-member rental partners carrying the equipment—such as lifts and scaffolding, loaders, backhoes, dump trucks, and mini excavators—with mapped location, contact information, and a website link for each store.

Contractors can also use the app to locate reliable rental partners in the area when equipment is needed, available for both Apple and Android users.

“Contractors are busy people who don’t have time to search for rental equipment when it’s needed now. Our purpose with the RentalHQ app is to provide technology that makes the equipment rental experience as easy, fast and reliable as possible,” said Debby Schaller, Vice President of Marketing for ARA. “By using the app, construction professionals will be quickly matched with nearby rental partners they can work with for a clean and safe rental experience.”

App users will also find helpful articles and tips on equipment best practices with new topics being added often.
