United Rentals Australia Key Facts: * United Rentals has opened a purpose-built branch at Brisbane Airport, consolidating container engineering, mobile storage, and worksite solutions onto one site to meet growing demand from infrastructure and construction projects in Queensland. * The new facility has a strong focus on sustainability, offering eco-friendly products such as solar-powered Site Hubs, Solar and Battery Energy Storage Systems, and powder-coated intermodal containers as alternatives to traditional VOC paint systems. * Built to a 5-Star Green Star standard, the branch features automated systems including lighting, gates, alarms, and air conditioning, with fleet operations managed remotely via cameras and boom gates to improve efficiency. * The Brisbane opening follows recent branch expansions in Adelaide and Perth, and is supported by the launch of a new United Rentals Australian website and the Total Control(R) fleet and worksite management mobile app. * Strategically located at Brisbane Airport, the branch offers easy access to major routes across the region and complements United Rentals' existing Queensland branches in Yalata and Richlands. United Rentals, the world's largest equipment rental company, has opened a new Brisbane branch to meet growing customer demand driven by population growth and major infrastructure and construction projects. The purpose-built branch at Brisbane Airport brings United Rentals' container engineering, mobile storage, and worksite solutions together on one site to provide greater capability and a comprehensive range of hire products. "It was key for the site to be a hub for United Rentals' product innovation and engineering expertise along with mobile storage and worksite solutions to meet customers' rental requirements," said Brendon Greatrex, United Rentals Mobile Storage District Manager Queensland. "The facility meets our current demand and is designed to position us to meet anticipated growth in the region as infrastructure and construction projects progress." Alongside United Rentals' existing Trench Safety branch in Yalata and General Equipment Hire branch in Richlands, the new facility increases the company's capability in Brisbane and across Queensland. Mr Greatrex said United Rentals' previous hire site needed upgrading, so it made sense to consolidate engineering with mobile storage and worksite solutions to become a single-source provider for projects underway in the region. Focus on renewable energy In Queensland, United Rentals supports a wide range of industries - from building and construction, civil infrastructure, and intermodal transport to retail, events, and household storage solutions. The Brisbane branch will have a key focus on delivering building, construction and infrastructure customers with sustainable and eco-friendly solutions. United Rentals is working to reduce its carbon footprint and offers products that may help customers pursue their own sustainability objectives, including: * The solar-powered Site Hub * Solar and Battery Energy Storage Systems * Using Powder Coated intermodal containers rather than traditional Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) paint systems Mr Greatrex said a product like the Site Hub is a self-sufficient worksite solution that is cost-effective and may assist customers in progressing toward their sustainability targets. "It's a product that supports customers in working toward sustainability targets and goals, achieving potential savings, and gaining competitive advantage." Strategic location, streamlined processes Built to a 5-Star Green Star building standard, the branch features automated systems including lighting, gates, alarms, and air conditioning. Additionally, all fleet operations are remotely operated using a system of cameras and boom gates to streamline branch procedures and enable transport providers to move through the facility quickly and efficiently. "It's an impressive facility. I've never worked in a branch like it in all my years in the hire industry," said Mr Greatrex. "The branch is well positioned to service growth and development in Brisbane and the wider region." Being located at Brisbane Airport ensures easy access to major routes to the North, South, and West, with Moreton Bay and surrounds close by to the East. Global reach, local expansion and expertise The new Brisbane branch follows recent expansions of branches in Adelaide and Perth. The company is also enhancing customer services in Australia with a United Rentals website that launched in 2026 and its Total Control(R) fleet and worksite management platform, available as a mobile app. Unitedrentals.com utilises the global scale and technology of United Rentals to support the local market and provide streamlined access to its product range, which has expanded following the company's recent acquisitions. Additionally, the Total Control app enables customers to control and manage their hire equipment while on the move. Mr Greatrex said the company was committed to providing quality service, quality equipment, and innovative solutions for customers across Australia. "The Brisbane branch will provide an expanded range of rental products in the region," he said.

"We build true partnerships between our local teams and their customers. They know their local market best and understand what customers want, which means they tailor solutions to get the job done effectively, on time and on budget," said Mr Greatrex.

Why United Rentals (URI) stock is up today. By: Quiver PriceTracker Posted: an hour ago / Aug. 14, 2026 6:34 p.m. UTC United Rentals (URI) is up 3.1% today. Here is some analysis on what might have caused this price movement. Analysis: The most likely driver is continued investor follow-through from the company's strong second-quarter report and higher 2026 outlook announced in late July. The move also may be getting support from a favorable backdrop for cyclical industrial stocks, as easing inflation data has helped sentiment around economically sensitive names. United Rentals posted record second-quarter 2026 results, including $4.410 billion of revenue, $12.76 in adjusted EPS, and $2.056 billion of adjusted EBITDA. The company raised its full-year 2026 outlook, lifting projected revenue to $17.5 billion to $17.8 billion and adjusted EBITDA to $7.975 billion to $8.125 billion. Management pointed to healthy customer demand, optimism around large projects, and solid backlogs, which support the view that business momentum has stayed strong beyond the earnings release. Shareholder-return actions also remain supportive, including a $5 billion repurchase authorization, $750 million already repurchased in the first half, and a quarterly dividend of $1.97 per share with an August 26, 2026 payment date.
