Utility Sales & Service, a provider of aerial lift and specialty trucks, acquired aerial equipment rental specialist Power Equipment Leasing Company of Romeoville, IL. The acquisition gives Appleton, WI-based USSI sales, parts, service and rental program capabilities with an expanded market and service territory. Power Equipment Leasing will now do business as USSI.

“Through this acquisition, USSI now brings over 50 years of rental experience to give aerial lift truck customers throughout Wisconsin, Michigan and the upper Midwest more equipment options,” Ted Breidenbach, CEO of USSI, said. “Similarly, Chicago and Illinois truck users can now access USSI’s wide-ranging sales, service and parts support.

“This acquisition brings together two companies with great people, shared values and demonstrated strengths. Any company or organization involved with infrastructure, such as electrical utilities, municipalities, contractors, telecom, sign and lighting, agriculture, and tree care markets can now benefit from our combined strengths.”
