Custom Equipment announced that Seattle-based Star Rentals will carry its line of HB-1230 Hy-Brid Lifts. The units have 18-foot working heights for a wide range of indoor applications, including electrical, drywall and HVAC installation. Star Rentals rents, sells and services Hy-Brid Lifts in 18 locations in Washington and Oregon.

“We work with manufacturers that we can consider business partners and Custom Equipment is a company that we are pleased to build a long and committed relationship with,” said Bob Kendall, president of Star Rentals. “What really drew us to Hy-Brid Lifts is the zero-turn radius. It’s a unique feature that provides better maneuverability than standard scissorlifts, and Custom Equipment was an industry leader in developing it.”

“Star Rentals has exceptional customer service, and they offer expertise and follow-through on every transaction, which makes us great partners,” said Dan Schneider, Custom Equipment’s North American sales manager. “I feel the team at Star Rentals will represent our Hy-Brid Lifts well, and we look forward to supporting Star Rentals and its customers with our quality service and wide range of products.”

Star Rentals is No. 55 on the RER 100.
