As electric utilities across the United States accelerate transmission and distribution infrastructure investment driven by grid modernization and clean energy expansion, a new national specialty equipment platform has emerged to support the contractors and utilities doing that work. Rentix Solutions, formed through the merger of JDC (formerly known as Jack Doheny Companies) and Vacuum Truck Rentals (VTR), today announced operations as a national specialty rental platform with 36+ locations and 3,200+ pieces of specialized equipment serving electric utility, water and sewer, and environmental customers across the United States.
For electric utility contractors and T&D construction crews, Rentix Solutions offers immediate access to one of the most extensive specialty equipment networks in the country — including aerial boom trucks for transmission line installation and repair, digger derricks and drill trucks for pole installation, hydro excavators for safe non-destructive digging around buried infrastructure, and vacuum trucks for environmental and industrial support. With 24/7 availability and 100+ certified service bays across the network, Rentix Solutions is built for the demands of utility construction that cannot be delayed.
The merger brings together JDC's 50-year history as an authorized dealer and service provider for utility equipment — including Terex, Elliott, Huber, and Skylift — with VTR's national vacuum truck rental network and 24/7 field support model.
Rentix Solutions will be led by Chief Executive Officer Payton Lockey, who brings deep operational experience in specialty equipment and a leadership approach built on customer focus, operational excellence, and team culture. Also leading the company is Chief Operating Officer B.T. Steadman, who brings nearly three decades of experience in operational excellence and customer satisfaction.
“This is a merger of two great companies — and that is exactly how we are approaching it. We are bringing together the best of both organizations to build something stronger than either of us was alone. Our customers, our teams, and our vendors will all benefit from what we are creating together.” — Payton Lockey, Chief Executive Officer, Rentix Solutions
