The new Williston facility and its neighbouring Hertz Equipment branches in Dickinson and Bismarck, North Dakota and Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada deliver specialty equipment solutions for producers, refineries and commercial construction. The company is also serving on site with companies in the area.

"North Dakota and the surrounding region is experiencing record levels of oil and gas production, particularly due to the Bakken and Three Forks Formations of the Williston Basin. As the Williston township is one of the prime hubs in the region, we have expanded our facilities and added new staff to meet the huge demand on our services," said Lois Boyd, Group President, Hertz Equipment Rental Corporation.

"Oil, gas and construction companies are increasingly finding that equipment rental instead of ownership makes strong economic sense. In addition to offering state-of-the-art equipment, we provide highly specialist knowledge to bring financial value to our customers' bottom line."

The Hertz Equipment Williston facility provides a wide range of industrial and commercial fleet for rent or sale including aerial, compaction and paving, earth moving, heaters, power generators, forklifts and other material handling equipment. In addition the location features a retail showroom and offers rentals and sales of small tools, equipment and safety supplies.

Hertz equipment is purchased from the industry's leading manufacturers and is available for daily, weekly, monthly and long-term rentals. There are also rent-to-own and rental purchase option plans available for the new and used equipment for sale.
