“The increased growth and interest in the rental industry also assists ARA in completing landmark projects, such as ARA Rental Market Metrics™, which enhance the professionalism of the industry,” she says.

ARA Rental Market Metrics defines methods for calculating and reporting key rental performance metrics, such as time utilization, dollar utilization, fleet age and other important measures.

“The development of these industry metrics, which standardize the methods equipment rental companies use to calculate performance measures, will advance individual businesses and industry performance in a consistent manner,” Wehrman says.
