  • Buyers from all over the United States will have the opportunity to bid on a wide variety of equipment, including customer consignment machines, rental rollout items from Cashman Equipment and neighboring Cat dealers, and used equipment trade-ins from Cashman Equipment.
  • The Auction inventory includes equipment as large as a 2008 Cat 345CL Excavator and a 2007 Cat D8T Track-Type Tractor or as portable as a 194 lb. Wacker WP1550W Walk-behind Plate Compactor.
  • Interested buyers are invited to go online to view the entire equipment list, detailed TA-1 level Cat Certified inspection reports, and live-action videos of the equipment prior to the event by visiting www.catauctions.com. Equipment and videos will continue to be added until the week of the auction.

Todd Gilligan, Cashman Equipment General Manager of Sales & Marketing says:

“The equipment that has been assembled at our Henderson corporate headquarters is a great mix of high-quality, well-maintained construction equipment, which will be sold with detailed inspection reports so customers know precisely what they’re buying.” Gilligan went on to note that the comprehensive inspections inform the successful bidder of any updates or repairs needed; Cashman Equipment can then perform any service needed prior to shipment.

“We’re excited to be hosting Las Vegas’ first Cat Auction Services event,” added Gilligan. “While live public auctions certainly aren’t new, we’re looking forward to showcasing Cat Auction’s difference in style, approach, and features.”

Rick Albin, Cat Auction Services President adds:

“We are thrilled to bring the Cat Auction Services experience to the Las Vegas area,” said Albin. “While the online bidding option is always available and is worth checking out, our LEADERBOARD and theater seating create an atmosphere that is worth showing up for.”

Partnering with dealers allows us to offer a range of services, incredible expertise, and a level of transparency with which other companies cannot compete. We are very excited to be working with Cashman Equipment, and appreciate their support in hosting this auction.

Volvo Rents Acquires Action Equipment Rental, Expands New Mexican Footprint

Published on May 22, 2012 in Daily Dirt and Rocky Mountain Construction. 0 Comments Tags: , , , , , , .

Volvo Rents, a worldwide provider of small- to medium-sized construction equipment, announces the expansion of its operations in New Mexico with the acquisition of Action Equipment Rental, a three-location construction equipment rental company with stores in Alamogordo, Las Cruces and Silver City.

Through such acquisitions, Volvo Rents has added 49 stores in the past 18 months and now has 120 outlets in North America, including four in New Mexico. The company’s other New Mexico store is located in Peralta.

“We are excited about continuing to introduce our products and services to New Mexicans, providing them with a range of alternatives to meet their construction equipment needs,” said Mike Crouch, Vice President of Business Development for Volvo Rents. “New Mexico provides a great opportunity for Volvo Rents as we continue to grow our business and increase the distribution of our comprehensive line of essential equipment.”

The acquisition comes following a recent forecast released by the American Rental Association (ARA) expecting overall North American equipment rental industry revenue to increase at least 6.9 percent in 2012 to total $33.5 billion at year end. The ARA’s five-year forecast calls for continued annual growth in rental revenue to reach a total of $53.1 billion by 2016.

“While some of the expected rental revenue growth will come from increased demand as the construction industry recovers, the benefits of renting equipment have been magnified in today’s marketplace, resulting in more attention and more customers adopting the rental concept to meet their needs for equipment to complete projects and jobs,” Crouch added.

In addition to Volvo Rents’ expanding line of Volvo compact equipment – such as backhoe and skid steer loaders, compact wheel loaders, compact excavators and compaction equipment – the rental centers carry a comprehensive line of essential equipment and tools for the construction, commercial, industrial and homeowner markets. The focus is on daily, weekly and monthly rentals.

Action Equipment Rental was founded in 2005. Its founder, Joseph Muench, will remain with Volvo Rents as a Consultant.

“Of all the consolidators that approached us over the last couple of years, none of them possessed a culture and core value that lined up with ours. That is until we were contacted by Volvo Rents,” said Muench. “Volvo Rents’ well-established reputation as a service oriented company dedicated to servicing the homeowner and contractor alike run parallel with our

existing business model and made becoming part of the company an attractive and easy decision. I am confident that both our employees and customers are in great hands.”

While store hours will remain Monday-Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and Saturday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., 24-hour service is available every day of the week.

Volvo Rents ‘Digging’ Its Way Into Englewood, CO

Published on January 21, 2012 in Daily Dirt and Rocky Mountain Construction. 0 Comments Tags: , , , , , , , .

Anchored by an increase in local construction spending that is projected to total more than $6.2 billion between 2012 and 2016 in the Greater Denver area, Volvo Rents is looking to grab a bigger piece of the construction equipment rental pie that is currently up for grabs.

A worldwide provider of small-to-medium sized construction equipment, Volvo Rents recently opened a new company-owned rental center at 1200 W. Dartmouth Ave in Englewood.

“Despite the weakened economy, the construction equipment rental industry is projected to be one of the fastest growing industries in North America, as more people are choosing to rent rather than commit to capital expenditures,” said Ian Bull, branch manager of the new Englewood Volvo Rents location. “Our strong brand recognition, coupled with the growing demand for construction equipment rental, allows us to look to the future with great enthusiasm.”

The new rental center is Volvo Rents’ third in the state of Colorado – joining existing locations in Colorado Springs and Longmont – and will service all of the Front Range area.

In addition to Volvo Rents’ expanding line of Volvo compact equipment – such as backhoe and skid steer loaders, compact wheel loaders, compact excavators and compaction equipment – the rental center carries a comprehensive line of essential equipment and tools for the construction, commercial, industrial and homeowner markets. The focus is on daily, weekly and monthly rentals.

The Englewood Volvo Rents location will be open Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. – 5 p.m.

“It’s estimated the local Denver area will spend nearly $4.5 billion on nonresidential construction in 2012. With our new Englewood Volvo Rents location within a 15 mile radius of nearly 1,400 potential customers, we anticipate making a lasting impression on the local Denver construction industry,” Bull added.
