Texas First Rentals, a division of Holt, has acquired Class A Equipment Rentals, a single-location construction equipment rental company based in Fredericksburg, Texas.
This acquisition brings Texas First Rentals’ statewide presence to a total of 22 rental centers with more locations coming soon.
Current Class A employees will become employees of Texas First Rentals. The company will operate from the current Class A Equipment Rentals location until early 2023 when construction on the Texas First Rentals Fredericksburg location is scheduled to be complete.
“We are continuously evaluating the needs of our customers and decided it’s the right time for Texas First Rentals to expand into the Hill Country,” said Texas First Rentals Senior Vice President and General Manager Don Myrick. “Our search for a new location in Fredericksburg, ultimately lead us to solidify an agreement with Class A Equipment Rentals.”
Class A’s event rentals division, which currently shares space with Class A Equipment Rentals, was not included in the acquisition and will remain in its current location.
Texas First Rentals offers equipment from Caterpillar, Wacker Neuson, Broderson, Sullair, JLG, Genie, Vermeer, Magni and more.
