Wheeler Machinery Co., a Salt Lake City-based Caterpillar equipment dealer, has acquired Diamond Equipment & Tool Rental, an eight-location equipment rental company serving Northern Utah. Diamond will become part of Wheeler’s Cat Rental Store division with an enlarged footprint and an enhanced product offering, a Wheeler release said.
“We are thrilled to welcome the talented team and loyal customers of Diamond Rental,” said Kyle Rigby, director of rental for Wheeler Machinery Co. “This acquisition represents our deep commitment to providing unparalleled service and the most comprehensive selection of rental equipment in Utah.”
The acquisition expands Wheeler’ short- and long-term rentals business across a large variety of tools and equipment. The rental division now has 18 locations in Utah. Rigby said the combined fleet offers Cat machines from large to small and a wide range of tools and equipment from 70-plus industry brands.
“The new brand signifies the strength and reach we have achieved through this acquisition,” said Rigby. “We are confident that the Cat Rental Store will continue to be a trusted partner for the rental equipment needs of Diamond’s valued customers.”
