United Rentals Inc., the world's largest
equipment rental company, has added
emissions level information for all equipment to
its online rental catalog. This enables companies
to make more informed decisions to choose the
right equipment that supports their jobsite needs
and sustainability goals.
Using the United Rentals online catalog,
companies can browse, search and select
equipment by filtering by emissions level. This
new catalog feature makes it easy to understand
the environmental impact of different equipment
options.
The four emissions level categories are:
* Zero Emissions is comprised of equipment
powered by battery, electric or solar that
creates no emissions when in use.
* Low Emissions contains equipment powered
by hybrid, propane or natural gas engines.
* Lower Diesel Emissions encompass
equipment with Tier 4 U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (USEPA) certified engines
- the most stringent emissions currently in
place for diesel engines.
* Standard Emissions include the most
common gas or diesel-powered equipment,
powered by USEPA certified engines.
In the catalog, equipment with zero or low
emissions are also indicated by a green symbol
next to the cat class.
" With our new online catalog feature, we
give customers the power to select equipment
to create lower-emission worksites without
compromising safety or productivity, " said Joli
Gross, senior vice president, general counsel
and corporate secretary of United Rentals. UI
