“The first piece of equipment we bought was a concrete power trowel, then an aerial lift because we were interested in them,” Cory recalls. “Now we have around 20 items that we rent out.”
The company has grown organically, slowly adding on equipment as they listened to inquiries from customers.
“The first couple of years were slow, mostly evening and weekends,” Cory says. “The last few years we put a lot of money and time into the business. Then, I quit my other job and went full-time into the rental business.”
In the early years, the company mainly serviced local contractors in the area. But as T.O.C. Rental and Sales grew, so did their customer base.
“We’re almost a fifty-fifty split between contractors and homeowners doing their own projects – pouring a concrete pad, building a deck or using a skid steer to do a little landscaping around their house,” Cory says. “In the beginning, it was more contractors, but we live in a farming community, so there are lots of farmers that need equipment like an aerial lift for work on their barns and bins.”
