Durante Equipment Opens New Store in Hialeah Gardens, Florida
Durante Equipment, Hollywood, Fla., opened a new store in Hialeah Gardens, Fla., March 10, providing construction equipment rentals, sales, parts and service, to Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties. Now with two stores, Durante Equipment offers the newest fleet of top name construction equipment and tools to its South Florida customers.
John Durante, founder of Durante Equipment, has more than 30 years of experience in the construction rental equipment industry, having grown and sold two previous construction rental equipment companies in the northeastern United States.
“We are extremely excited to be in Hialeah Gardens to better serve the Hialeah and Miami-Dade markets,” Durante said. “Logistically, the Miami area is a very tough market as the traffic congestion can make planning on-time delivery and pickup very problematic. Our new facility in Hialeah Gardens will help to reduce travel times and better serve our Miami-Dade customers. Our lead rental coordinator, Allan Montoya, originally with Poe’s Rental, has served the Hialeah market for over 20 years. From small electric tools to 150-foot booms, Hialeah Gardens is ready to become the first call for every Miami contractor.”
“We are very excited about the opening of our Hialeah Gardens location,” said Chris Latham, operations manager. “We are looking forward to being the most valuable resource around for contractors as well as the local businesses and homeowners in Dade and Broward counties.”
Durante’s Hialeah Gardens location offers service for both customer walk-ins as well as flatbed and tractor-trailer delivery service. Store hours are 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.
