Holt Caterpillar, San Antonio, Texas, has launched Holt Industrial Rentals to provide specialty industrial equipment solutions throughout Texas.

The increased needs associated with expanding facilities, construction, and climate-based challenges have caused industries — including oil and gas, events, and manufacturing — to turn to full-service rental solutions, as opposed to purchasing and maintaining the equipment themselves. This is on top of the need for temporary equipment to support outages, maintenance, equipment reconditioning and business expansion.

Holt Industrial Rentals offers turnkey solutions centered around industrial power (power generators, distribution, load banks, etc.), climate (chillers, air conditioners, and heaters), and air (compressors, desiccant dryers, etc.) — often combining multiple elements for one holistic answer to customers’ challenges.

“Our customers are consistently asking for complete solution packages, not just individual pieces of equipment,” said Don Myrick, general manager of Holt Industrial Rentals. “It eases the burden of running their businesses by offloading the expertise needed to plan out these large, temporary industrial solutions.”

According to a recent study by Koncept Analytics, the U.S. equipment rental market is expected to grow to $64 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate of 5.47 percent from 2021 to 2025. The study cites that a “rise in party and event planning, growth in oil and gas production, rising employment and rapid urbanization would drive the growth of the market.”

“We’ve seen increased rental requests across our businesses and have always been an organization that pivots to meet the needs of our customers,” said Peter J. Holt, CEO of Holt. “We understand the importance of rentals across the industrial, construction and facilities equipment industries and the role our services can play in the success of these businesses.”

In addition to the larger scale of operations and increased speed of business, companies are also feeling the strain of increased inclement weather such as freezes, heat waves and natural disasters that can bring business to a halt.

“Temporary industrial solutions are critical to keep productivity going at the pace necessary in today’s business landscape, and we are excited to launch this new company,” said Holt.

Holt Industrial Rentals is a turnkey industrial rentals company providing temporary power, climate, air and more. The solutions-based enterprise delivers advance- and emergency-rental equipment and planning for facilities maintenance, construction sites, events, and the energy and manufacturing industries. Holt Industrial Rentals services all of Texas with headquarters in San Antonio and regional offices in Dallas, Corpus Christi, Georgetown, and Houston.

The company will work along with fellow Holt Texas Ltd. companies like Holt Cat, Texas First Rentals, Holt Manufacturing, Holt Renewables, and Holt Industrial Systems. For more information, visit HoltIndustrialRentals.com.
