United Rentals Adds Electric Dumpsters to Its Rental Fleet
United Rentals Inc. announced a new agreement to purchase the industry’s first high-volume, fully electric dumpsters from JCB for its rental fleet. United Rentals will be the first equipment rental company to offer JCB’s HTD-5E E-Dumpsters to North American customers looking to create lower-emission worksites.
JCB HTD-5E E-Dumpsters join zero-emission trucks, vans, compact excavators, energy systems and more already in the United Rentals portfolio of environmentally friendly rental equipment. The tracked e-dumpster is offered as a high-tip, ride-on model, capable of carrying up to 1,102 lbs. Its lithium-ion battery pack powers the machine for a typical full day work shift. United Rentals expects to deploy the vehicles in the last quarter of 2022.
