NES acquires West Georgia Aerial Lift

NES Rentals has acquired the access and telehandler sales and rental company West Georgia Aerial Lift of Carrollton, Georgia.

The company, which was established in 1987, has 17 employees and 300 machines in its rental fleet, largely booms and scissor lifts from JLG, Genie and Skyjack. It is also the SkyTrak telehandler dealer for western Georgia and eastern Alabama. As of today West Georgia Aerial Lift is a branch of NES Rentals. The terms of the acquisition have not been disclosed.

West Georgia co-owners Jimmy Lanier and Leighton Alston will remain with the organisation and have joined NES.

NES Rentals chief executive Andy Studdert said: “The team at West Georgia Aerial Lift has built a valuable organisation and we are delighted to welcome them to the NES Rentals team. We are confident their customers will be pleased with the same high level of customer service and diverse product offerings at NES.”

Lanier added: “This is a tremendous opportunity for the team at West Georgia Aerial Lift. We have joined an organisation that values our ability to treat our customers with the level of service they prefer from a small organisation, but with the broad product lines and expertise found at a larger operation with national reach.”
