United Rentals is giving customers more options to rent equipment safely and efficiently.
During the COVID-19 crisis, is offering "contact-less" drive-up, in addition to delivery, at one of its over 1,100 branch locations.
Customers can opt for a contact-free drive-up experience to help keep them safe.
Disinfected Equipment
Prior to equipment being rented, United Rentals employees conduct a variety of safety and mechanical checks to assure the equipment functions correctly and safely.
In addition to these routine checks, the company now disinfects the equipment. United Rentals uses US EPA-approved disinfectants and follows manufacturers’ instructions on application to spray and/or wipe commonly-touched surfaces necessary to operate tools and machinery.
In particular, United Rentals focuses on things like controls, buttons, latches, knobs, grab handles, operator seats, seat belts and buckles.
At the Worksite
If United Rentals is dropping the equipment off to the customer, drivers will now perform a “last touch” precautionary disinfecting of the equipment. They will use an EPA-approved disinfectant and will spray or wipe the surfaces touched by the driver when delivering the equipment.
United Rentals has communicated with employees on disinfecting equipment, practicing good personal hygiene and social distancing and the proper disposal of wipes, towels and any other personal protection equipment they use in connection with delivering the equipment.
For specific questions about these procedures, or on any topic associated with how United Rentals is handling the COVID-19 crisis, email [email protected] or reach out to your United Rentals representative.
