RMS Rentals hosted its annual Open House on April 30, at its Savage, Minn., location. Customers, vendors and employees attended the event.

This year, the open house featured 14 vendors, including RMS Hydraulic Solutions and Ruffridge Johnson, both of which also had booths set up showcasing their company's full offerings and services.

The annual open house 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 a stronger relationship.

"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, El Taco Turro and Pretty Great Cheesecake. A live Husqvarna DXR demolition robot demo capped the day.

Equipment manufacturers who participated in the event included Potain, Husqvarna, BOMAG, LeeBoy, Haugen Attachments, Multiquip, Cratos, Allen Engineering, Wacker Neuson, EDCO, Allmand, JLG, Werk-Brau, Terramac, Komatsu, BringFuel and AgriLands Division. Each had equipment on-site.

"Overall, this event was a success for us. We were able to generate some small equipment sales and set up some rentals as a direct result of the open house," said Burns.

To celebrate, RMS Rentals also featured an exclusive event blitz, offering some of the lowest prices of the year on select equipment.
