Ashtead Group (OTCMKTS:ASHTY) is a United Kingdom-based equipment rental company. Through its Sunbelt Rentals businesses, the company provides equipment and related services to construction, industrial, commercial, infrastructure, government, and residential customers. Its rental fleet includes aerial work platforms, earthmoving machinery, material-handling equipment, power-generation products, climate-control systems, tools, and general construction equipment.
The company operates primarily in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom, serving customers through a network of rental locations and specialized service operations. In addition to short- and long-term equipment rentals, Ashtead offers delivery, maintenance, repair, project support, and other services intended to help customers access equipment without owning and managing the fleet themselves.
Ashtead traces its origins to the United Kingdom and expanded significantly through the development of its Sunbelt Rentals operations in North America. The company has continued to broaden its geographic presence and product offering through organic growth and acquisitions, with a focus on supporting large-scale construction and industrial projects as well as smaller contractors and businesses.
