Companies can browse, search, and select equipment by filtering by emissions level using the United Rentals online catalog. This new catalogue feature simplifies understanding the environmental impact of various equipment options. The four emission level categories in the catalogue are as follows:
- Zero Emissions, which is comprised of equipment powered by battery, electric or solar. When in use, this equipment emits no emissions.
- Low Emissions, which includes machinery powered by hybrid, propane, or natural gas engines.
- Lower Diesel Emissions, including Tier 4 US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) certified engines. Tier 4 engines have the most stringent emissions requirements for diesel engines currently in place.
- Standard Emissions, which include the majority of gas and diesel-powered equipment. Engines certified by the USEPA power the equipment.
A green symbol next to the cat class indicates equipment with zero or low emissions in the catalog. Companies can learn more about emissions options, including equipment types and featured in the catalog, by visiting the United Rentals equipment emissions webpage.
