The Cat Rental Store at Ohio Cat Opens for Business in Lima
Ohio Cat recently updated facilities at its new location in Lima, within Allen County, Ohio, and commenced business operations at The Cat Rental Store. As the Authorized Caterpillar Dealer and rental equipment provider in Ohio, this new Cat Rental Store location will provide a large offering of Caterpillar equipment for rent along with allied rental products to support a diverse range of equipment rental needs; from light towers and boom lifts to dozers.
This opening marks the organization’s 11th Cat Rental Store within its Ohio Cat territory, with the intent to provide increased access to equipment for rent in the northwest region of Ohio. This store provides added support to the area’s governmental, landscaping, specialty contractor, and building construction industries. Located on Interstate 75 and Bluelick Road, it is situated to fill the coverage gap between The Cat Rental Store locations in Perrysburg and Troy.
Purchased nearly a year ago, this facility is part of a 198-acre property with land that offers the ability to hold on-site demonstrations and events. The property also holds a campus of businesses owned by Ohio Machinery Co. which provide agricultural equipment sales and service through Ohio Ag Equipment as well as truck sales and service through Ohio Peterbilt.
