ABLE Equipment Rental, a supplier of construction equipment rentals, sales, service and parts, opened a new location in Allentown, PA. Operating as ABLE’s sixth full line facility, it will serve the Lehigh Valley and its immediate surroundings.

“Given its optimal location with excellent transportation routes, our new Allentown branch is poised to become a key construction equipment supplier in the region,” said Steven Laganas ABLE’s chief executive officer. “We researched and visited several facilities in the area before committing to the property in Allentown. We’re extremely excited to be part of the Lehigh Valley business community,” Laganas added.

ABLE’s move into the Lloyd Street location will eventually bring up to 30 additional jobs to the Lehigh Valley workforce. Some of these jobs include drivers, mechanics, rental coordinators, and account managers.

“The ABLE team is made up of employees with a can do attitude, eager to please customers,” said Chris Pera, ABLE’s chief operating officer. “When we enter a new market we’re always thinking about the talent that already exists in the area. The Allentown region has a seasoned and experienced employee candidate pool to choose from – it’s really a perfect match for ABLE,” Pera added.

ABLE purchases its equipment from the industry’s leading manufacturers and continues to add to its fleet. Equipment is available for daily, weekly, monthly and long-term rentals. There are also equipment financing plans available for new and used equipment.

Founded in 1996, ABLE Equipment Rental provides rentals, sales, service, and parts, as well as applications for critical infrastructure maintenance and support, contingency planning and disaster recovery.
