Discover Rental
The rental market goes well beyond construction machinery and equipment, helping a wide range of customers and industries reduce their fixed costs, outsource their risk and improve their sustainability.
In short, renting frees up resources for companies to invest into their core business, without having to worry about managing a fleet of equipment.
Find out more about the ‘Reasons to Rent‘ and how rental provides a cost-effective, sustainable and risk-free solution to your equipment needs.

Why is it important to join ERA?
MURRAY POLLOK
KHL GROUP
“Before the ERA existed it is true to say that there was little cooperation between rental companies; no working together on issues of common interest; and no learning from each other or sharing best practice.
That has changed dramatically, with the association’s various working committees and the annual Convention creating avenues for education, lobbying, cooperation and relationship building.”
ERA Convention
The annual ERA Convention brings together the leading voices of the European rental industry to network, learn and share. The 2021 Convention will be on 29-30 September.
Sustainable Supplier Framework
The ERA Sustainable Supplier Framework helps rental companies set minimum sustainability requirements and aspirations for all their suppliers.
