The annual A20 listing shows fleet replacement and modest growth, but after its acquisition of RSC, United Rentals easily claims the top spot with more than 100,000 aerials in its fleet.
The top five spots have Sunbelt Rentals, Ahern Rentals, Hertz Equipment Rental and NES Rental Equipment Co. with gains from 2011's list, showcasing a still-recovering market. While companies are mostly refleeting, some have slight growth in their numbers and expect the remainder of 2012 to be good for business.
