Warren Cat Rental recently celebrated an open house at its new branch in Tulsa, Okla. Employees and customers came together for an open house on a sunny day, with a meet-and-greet and introduction to the company. On hand for the event, which took place on May 25, were senior vice president of machine division Ronnie Lane and vice president of rental and used equipment Michael Wood.
Wood said this newly updated facility will be a great benefit to Tulsa and the surrounding communities.
“The Warren Cat Rental team is excited to now have two convenient locations to better serve our customers’ equipment rental needs within Tulsa and the surrounding communities,” he said. “We greatly appreciate the strong support and partnerships with our customers. Warren Cat is committed to being a total rental solutions provider and the dealership of choice by providing high quality rental equipment and outstanding customer service.”
The Tulsa West facility, which opened in January, employs about 25 employees and previously served as a smaller scale Rental Power location as well as engine sales and service. Now the facility has a full line machines, attachments, generators and other power equipment.
Local favorite Andolini’s food truck provided the lunch, with dessert from Snow S’mores.
The store has an expanded inventory of smaller equipment like skid-steer loaders, mini-excavators, scissor lifts, light towers, air compressors, trenchers and pumps. It will help double the Warrant Cat rental inventory in the Tulsa region, while increasing availability and helping with quick turnarounds.
The Tulsa West Warren Cat Rental Store and shop covers 50,000 square feet with the shop alone being 38,000 square feet.
Warren Cat is No. 25 on the RER 100.
