Open for fun
RMS Rentals hosts annual open house
RMS Rentals hosted its annual open house on Thursday, April 25, at its Savage, Minn., location. Nearly 200 customers, vendors and employees came out for the event. This year, the open house featured 15 vendors, RMS Hydraulic Solutions, and a booth set up to showcase RMS’ technology solutions and recruiting.
The annual event is a great opportunity for RMS Rentals staff and customers to get a chance to connect in a setting different from the job site and build stronger relationships.
“Everyone appreciates a low-pressure environment where there’s no obligation,” said TJ Burns, General Manager, Rentals. “They can come in, have a good meal, enter some drawings and interface with people from RMS they may see every day but in a more casual environment.”
Attendees received a welcome bag, and lunch was catered by three local food trucks — The Purple People Feeder, Turbo Taco and Pretty Great Cheesecake. The day was capped by a live Potain Hup M 28-22 tower crane demonstration by RMS Rentals Crane Specialist Scott Solberg.
“We wanted to demonstrate how easy the Hup M was to set up and take down,” said Solberg. “In 30 to 40 minutes, we can have it set up and ready to work. It’s a great machine to get on a job site. People think cranes are only suited for large commercial roofing jobs, but there is a lot of opportunity in smaller markets like single family or townhome construction. We felt this would be a great opportunity to showcase that.”
In total, 15 manufacturers were featured during the open house. Potain, Husqvarna, BOMAG, LeeBoy, Haugen Attachments, Multiquip, Gar-Bro, MBW, Cratos, Allen Engineering, Wacker Neuson, Bring Fuel, Allmand, JLG and Komatsu each had equipment on display.
“Overall, this event was a success for us,” said Burns. “We were able to generate some equipment sales and set up a number of rentals as a direct result of the open house.”
