JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - [May 21, 2026] - EquipmentShare, a leader in connected jobsite technology and one of the largest equipment rental providers in the United States, joined the Jacksonville Chamber of Commerce, Select Florida, and community partners for a grand opening celebration at its new Core Solutions branch in Jacksonville.
The opening of this facility brings a substantial economic boost to the region. Each new EquipmentShare branch is associated with the creation of 25 to 50 jobs and a projected investment range of $35 million to $70 million, including equipment, capital improvements and salaries.
This 17,000-square-foot branch, situated on 8.5 total acres, is EquipmentShare's flagship branch in Florida. It is built for a community delivering major infrastructure upgrades and industrial growth. Contractors in the Jacksonville metro region are currently tackling highway expansions, port improvements, storm hardening and energy projects, and they require reliable, tech-powered machines with fast and local service. By co-locating our Core Solutions rental fleet with the area's premier CASE Power & Equipment Florida dealership, this facility serves as a true single-source destination for both cutting-edge equipment rentals and machine ownership.
Every rental asset at the Jacksonville branch connects through EquipmentShare's proprietary T3® platform, so crews gain real-time visibility, smart maintenance, credentialed access keypads with individual PIN codes and site security features that reduce downtime and improve safety. This same powerful technology can be seamlessly outfitted on new retail inventory, giving buyers immediate, comprehensive insights into the health, location and utilization of their newly purchased fleet from day one.
This Jacksonville branch is the 28th EquipmentShare location in the state of Florida where it joins an established local ecosystem that includes the company's Advanced Solutions and Container Solutions facilities.
"Florida is building at an incredible pace, and our growing presence in this state allows us to be a primary partner for the massive projects taking place in this part of the country," said Kim Anderson, general manager of the Jacksonville branch. "This facility is one of largest in our entire network for a reason: the demand here is immense. With our T3 technology, we are renting machines and giving Jacksonville contractors unparalleled control over their operations while helping them build the future of Florida."
The new Florida site advances the long-term growth strategy of EquipmentShare, which has more than 407 locations nationwide and plans to reach over 700 in the next few years. This expansion extends the company's T3 smart-fleet technology, safety-driven security features and productivity-boosting service model to more jobsites, accelerating industry transformation one project at a time.
As part of the grand opening and the company's commitment to the communities it serves, EquipmentShare presented a $1,500 "Giving Back" donation to Wounded Warrior Project® (WWP). WWP is the nation's leading veterans service organization, focused on the total well-being of post-9/11 veterans, active-duty service members, and their families. Supporters like EquipmentShare empower WWP to change and save lives every day.
This partnership is an extension of EquipmentShare's ongoing support for those who served. In 2022, the company proudly unveiled its Jacksonville "TELEHERO." It's a patriotically wrapped telehandler, and 10% of its rental proceeds are donated directly to veteran organizations. These initiatives, combined with EquipmentShare earning the U.S. Department of Labor's HIRE Vets Gold Medallion for the third consecutive year, underscore the company's dedication to recruiting, employing and honoring our nation's heroes.
