N C Machinery Cat Rentals Opens New Bellingham, Wash., Location
N C Machinery Cat Rentals opened a new rental store in Bellingham, Wash., last month, expanding equipment access for contractors, municipalities, and businesses across Whatcom County and the surrounding area.
The Bellingham location carries rental inventory on-site, including Cat machines, Genie aerial lifts, telehandlers, forklifts, light towers, generators, and pump and HVAC equipment. The store serves contractors, electricians, homeowners, and anyone else who needs equipment for a job. Customers can rent by the day, week, or month, with service and support handled locally.
"We're excited to have inventory available in the area now," said Troy Hickey, senior vice president of sales at N C Machinery. "Having equipment on the ground in Bellingham means we can better support our customers with not just Caterpillar rental equipment but Genie aerial lifts and the rest of our rental fleet. It shortens the trip, shortens the wait, and puts our team closer to the jobsites we're serving."
The Bellingham store joins N C Machinery Cat Rentals branches across Washington and Alaska, including Fife, Tukwila, Monroe, Mount Vernon, Chehalis, Lacey, Wenatchee, and Yakima, Wash., and Fairbanks, Juneau, Anchorage, and Unalaska, Alaska.
A grand opening event is planned for later this year.
The Bellingham store is located at 1400 Iowa Street, Bellingham, Wash. For rental availability, equipment listings, and location details, visit ncmachinery.com.
