These assets have been acquired since Jill Ellis joined the company.  We have a working relationship with Sunbelt Rental and utilize their vast inventory when a need arises that surpasses our in-house capabilities.  Most of this listed equipment is in very good to near excellent condition. We do not allow equipment with hydraulic oil leaks to say on the job.  Any machine that develops a leak is shutdown and fixed.  We also have oil spill kits on jobs that require lots of heavy equipment.
