ABLE Equipment Rental Inc. of N.Y., a supplier of construction equipment rentals, sales, service and parts, has purchased the aerial equipment assets and service operations of Mobile Lifts Inc. of Norristown, Pa. The transaction will allow the facility to operate as the newest branch of ABLE Equipment Rental. ABLE will retain most of the current Mobile Lifts staff with plans to grow the team immediately. It will operate it as its fifth location in the northeast.

Located on 2-acres in Montgomery County at 2 Liberty Avenue in Norristown, Pa., ABLE's newest branch is 45 minutes outside of Philadelphia, accessible to several major roads and highways. The facility is ideal to service the King of Prussia area and is well situated to deliver equipment throughout the region, according to the company.

“We're extremely excited to welcome Mobile Lifts to the ABLE family,” said Steven Laganas, ABLE's chief executive officer. “Their 40 plus year history along with a very loyal customer base was certainly one of the factors that helped us in our decision-making. I look forward to partnering with Mobile Lifts' knowledgeable and talented team,” Laganas added.

“Strategically, it will allow us to continue to serve as a reliable provider of aerial equipment for Mobile Lifts' current commercial and industrial clients,” said Chris Pera, ABLE's chief operating officer. “Additionally, we'll be able to offer a wide range of machines for rent and for sale to fulfill their specific construction equipment requirements,” 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 also are equipment financing plans available for new and used equipment.
