Case expands compact equipment rental in Germany

Case is expanding its landscaping and small scale building equipment rental business in North Rhine-Westphalia and Rhineland-Palatinate in Germany.

The manufacturer is adding compact machines to its rental fleets at its Unna (North Rhine-Westphalia) and Kruft (Rhineland-Palatinate) locations, including compact loaders, wheel loaders, excavators and mini loaders.

The machines will have operating weights from 1 to 20 tonnes, with a particular focus on tracked machines, and all are under three years old.

Achim Bisplinghoff, rental manager at CNH Industrial Sales & Service GmbH, said; “We have seen increasing demand from landscaping companies and related applications, such as the construction of photovoltaic installations, for compact, high-performance off-road machines equipped with the appropriate attachments and typically rented for periods of one to three weeks. We have therefore expanded our rental fleet specifically for this sector.”

He added; “If requested by our landscaping customers, we can customise and modify the machines in the same way we do for purchased equipment as a factory-owned branch. For example, we frequently retrofit laser measurement technology.”

The mini and midi excavators are equipped with variable-angle booms, and attachments in the rental fleet include mulchers, sorting grapples and power rakes.

Case has been renting such equipment from the two locations for seven years.
