Rental business owners looking for new products to add to their inventories will have twice the opportunity to find something different at The Rental Show in Atlanta March 2-5, 2009 as more than 120 first-time exhibitors, double the number of last year, will be on the show floor this year.
“It’s exciting to have new companies coming into The Rental Show, as it demonstrates the tremendous interest in the rental market that exists,” said Carla Johnson, ARA associate member director. “These companies are eager to showcase their products and meet rental business personnel in Atlanta.”
Of these new exhibitors, 44 per cent are in the light construction/general tool department, 33 per cent in the heavy construction department and 22 percent in the party/special event department.
Products being offered by these first-time exhibitors in heavy construction include tow-able and skid-mounted air compressors, a two-axle articulated dump truck, portable conveyor systems and an OSHA-approved material handler box that also functions as a work platform. Light construction/ general tool products from new exhibitors include a variety of trailers, commercial upright and backpack vacuums, portable air conditioning and heating equipment, and a wireless voice communications system for workers. New products in party/special event include washable and changeable modular furniture, tent stake extractors, a variety of linens, and
evaporating snow and foam machines.
New exhibitor numbers double to more than 120
